You don't actually know who Ian Dury is do you?
Or understand that his lyrics were full of earthy humour.

I'm going to be honest with you, Cave Duck, and I really hope you don't mind.
This isn't a slight on you, I don't wish you any ill thoughts about this but I have a right to speak my mind. I'm not saying you have to agree with me, you don't at all, it's your progrative to feel however you want to feel about the issue.... but no, I do not know who Ian Dury is.

Please note, it is the person your'e reffering to that I do not understand, and not you.

you know that song "Hit me with your rhythm stick"?
that's an example of the "earthy humour"

Very dark, I can see how someone like Cave Duck can relate to such an empty void that used to be where his positive thoughts were.

I know
it's so lucky that he found such a sympathetic and experienced support group to help him deal with his issues.

I wonder if we can diagnose him with anything....

that has to be self-diagnosed

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 16 Apr 2010, 15:17, Reply)

Could we give him a push in the right direction then?
I can't think of any other terrible disorders he might have.

he must be some kind of sociopath

I think you need to carefully read the above, and have a good long think about whether you're really cut out for attempting to appear superior and condescending on an internet forum.
Particularly when you have so little understanding of people and the world in general.

No, that is being a dick though.

it looks like you are attempting to appear superior and condescending
and seriously saying that someone who you basically don't know has "so little understanding of people and the world in general"

and you don't realise how that is being a dick?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 16 Apr 2010, 15:40, Reply)

Incedible.
Do you not stop and think before posting? I was responding in kind to someone (who basically doesn't know me) who tried to make me out to be an emo kid whose life sucks. Do you consider that he was being a dick?
(Cave Duck, Sun 18 Apr 2010, 17:27, Reply)

Just your general over-reaction
To a bit of piss taking. The reaction would have been the same to anyone else who posted what you did, so don't play the clique card.

And singling out certain people to be a dick to, when there were plenty of others who took the piss.

This post in particular stinks so badly of hypocrisy ONLINE I might have to go and have a shower to get the smell out of my hair.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Fri 16 Apr 2010, 15:47, Reply)

What have I said that is hypocritical?
I responded to this particular thread in the tone it was started.

I explained in the other thread why I started it without being rude to anyone. The thread didn't fit, it's not a big deal you can always ignore it. That's where the over-reaction is.
(Cave Duck, Fri 16 Apr 2010, 16:29, Reply)

I think you need to have a good long think yourself
before you get on your high horse about things. Stop taking yourself so seriously. Definitely stop taking the internet so seriously.

and not insulting people on here who are regulars and are well-liked (not me, I'm talking about Gonz, and CHCB) might be an idea.

I'd say that the auto-hubris that greated the posting of a few lines from songs
is taking the internet too seriously.
Lyrics = Emo irrespective of context, seemed to be the Pavlovian response of "internet little Englanders" protecting their preceious part of the internet. I enjoy a well crafted turn of phrase almost as much as a well crafted bottled beer. Why is giving and seeking examples of one fine and the other some terrible faux pas?

With regard to insulting people, I have to say that you seem to suggesting that popular posters have the right to insult me but I shouldn't respond because they've been here longer are well liked.
I'm afraid that sort of "politics of the playground" towards the new kid doesn't sit well with me.
Also I didn't actually insult one of the people you mention, I made a qualified statement. "IF you think ..., THEN ..."
(Cave Duck, Sun 18 Apr 2010, 18:09, Reply)

I don't see the relevance here, in that case BGB was walking away from a rational debate which I pulled her up on.
I'm sorry, but in this case, I just don't understand what your'e trying to imply. I understand this could make you feel like nobody ever understands you, but please understand, it is the statements you've said that I don't understand, and not you as an individual.

Have you got someone to talk to about this sort of thing? I think you could find it helpful if you did.

Seriously, Ducky, lighten up.
Ian Dury was great: I miss him.
Vipros doesn't get him: And?
You shouldn't have called Vipros witless though. Cunt, perhaps, but not witless.
And probably best to get to know who's who before you call anyone a cunt.

I am a cunt
not witless though, thanks

you are right, I don't get the appeal of Dury and the Blockheads. Don't mind if others do though. not like U2, those shitheaps. I bet Cave Duck likes U2.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 16 Apr 2010, 15:22, Reply)

Thanks for the advice, but you misunderstand.
I didn't start the thread as an exercise in "I'll show you" The mention of him earlier just started me thinking about his lyrics. Which I think are full of earhty wit and wisdom. If someone had mentioned Elvis Costello (in either a positive or negative way) it would probably have been him that had been the subject of this thread.

I'm slightly surprised that ppeople assume they know your thought process and immediately label anything quoted from a song as emo. In this case that seems as appropriate as labelling me a miserable bastard if I started a "What's your favourite Tim Vine joke?" thread.

Also, I didn't actually call anyone witless. I quoted a maxim which is something I've quoted to friends before.
(Cave Duck, Fri 16 Apr 2010, 15:32, Reply)

I think you misunderstand
I don't think anyone actually thought you were being emo.

and for the sake of argument you did pretty much call me witless.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 16 Apr 2010, 15:35, Reply)

Ah, so.
It was unfortunate that your comment popped up just under Vipros' saying Ian dury was shite.
If you'd offered him a good bumming by way of remedy all would have been settled. And life would be duller.
And we are all really, really sorry your life sucks.
