Civility and respect among friends: An exemplar

[Admin.]

No panhandling. I offered Lily an explanation for my 'caustic' posting style some time back. She offered to lend a hand. And because I'm not an idiot, I accepted the offer.

One which she assured me came with 'no strings attached' -- her words, verbatim. I should have known it did come with strings attached, though. She evidently thought she was 'buying' my docility.

Shhh indoor voice.

Liar, you said in the shoutbox something about your shit luck or something in January.

I asked you what was wrong in the sb. You sent me a pm with your story about how the foodbank or place you get meals from when you're flat broke was closed because of the Martin Luther King holiday. You said you had nothing to eat.

I felt badly for you. Then, I offered to help. It's been abundantly clear since then that I was foolish for helping you out.

You're not the appreciative sort. You just pulled one over on me.

My fault though. I should have been like "I'm sorry that's terrible. Hope things get better soon. "

I totally can be a chump for a sob story.

 

[Lily]

Partially. She still has no IRL info of mine.

I never asked you for any of your personal information, did I?

I think being a victim is important to his identity.

I think your dishonestly is rooted in profound cowardice. You have to make things up because you can't deal with things as they are.

 

[Lily]

I never sold a thing. I never offered, and never asked for help. Help was offered and I took the offer. My mistake was believing Lily when she said there were no strings attached. Clearly, there were strings attached, and it's my bad that I took her word otherwise.

What strings?

Appreciation? I haven't ever asked you for anything.

People on the street I've given less money to had kind words.

You literally bite the hand that feeds you. You are entitled, but you"ve been playing this game for a while and I was just another mark.

I think I have an extra blue tarp I’d be willing to cheap sell to you, if you’re in need of shelter.

 

[Fredricka]

Yes you have posted it here. It's for your computer.

I remember seeing that, we laughed because it was still on zero after a fortnight or something

Clearly, you expected me to become all "meek and docile."

He's manipulative. He's making me out to be the bad guy.

The person that gave him money to get by with a few bucks.

Bullshit.

He is a liar, that's a fact

 

[Courier 6]

Bullshit.

Is it? Well, you started this thread based on some kind of grievance.

So what is it you thought you were entitled to but didn't get?

I’m not sending you a picture of a blue tarp you self entitled hobo, take it or leave it $5.00

This thread was started because you made the ridiculous assertion that you and Jack were exemplars of individuals who were civil to one another even though you were opposites on the political spectrum.

The OP makes it abundantly clear that it's a lie.

No, in fact, it does no such thing. Yes, Jack and I periodically troll each other. If that exceeds your very narrow idea of civility, all that exposes is how limited a degree of understanding you have.

It clearly shows your full of shit. Him flinging personal business into an unrelated argument is uncivil, period.

Maybe you're not aware of this, but the whole point of trolling is to get under the other person's skin.

Then shut down the bullshit lies that you're civil to one another and are examples of such.

Civil doesn't mean what you think it mrans.

 

[Courier 6]

Civil doesn't mean what you think it mrans.

That's exactly what I'm telling you. Your idea of civility is not universal.

 

[Lily]

That's exactly what I'm telling you.

Trolling personal business is shitty behavior. End of.

Generally, that's probably true. Between Jack and I, who have known each other for over 20 years now, it's no business of yours. It's incredibly presumptuous on your part to try to dictate the terms of interactions you have no part of.
