Why don't we all pull in the same direction? Posted Sun Aug 6 21:50:24 BST 2000 by Dan

discuss.
We all feel cheated by some things, why don't we club and do something about it, rather than bicker in a my dad's better than your dad kinda way?

I'd like to pull in the same direction: mind you there'd have to be a neck on the end of the rope - just to make it fun like.

I like pulling in the same direction, then quickly reversing the direction, then pull the same direction and then reverse it quickly and then pull the same direction and reverse the direction again.
Sometimes I'm called a wanker.

How do you know that we aren't already taking our own kinds of "positive action"?

It's important to choose who you take action with... no point joining forces with a time waster.

Seriously, no one is a time waster if they are passionate about changing something.

And, speaking as an Italian ethnic, i know a lot about switching sides, and... listen... it ain't advisable... ;)

Like the IRA, you mean.

Enthusiasm + Complete Wanker = Even more irriation for everyone else

The point of this spamming is to 'out' them and their opinions and make them face the people they have anonymously attacked.

And yes, I do see the irony in doing it anonymously.

Nope. Do what you feel is right for comedy, because that is the only way forward for anything like this.. move forward with your ideas and emotions, not other peoples...

And there are no moves to Pete becoming a twat, he was long before this thread and, i fear, will remain so long after it.

Hmm.. maybe you love me and pete... in some kind of weird and freaky net based triangle of .... disgust... or summat...
i had absolutely no bones at all with Pete. he even asked me to stick for him in an argument, but, to be honest, i couldn't be arsed.... i think my laziness has fuelled him into becoming a bitter twisted marber freak... a little like the phantom of the opera.. sitting in the sewers of the forum and popping up every so often to talk like michael crawford, only louder...

Indeed. I've said it before and I'll say it again: 'Who is more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows him?'

Posted By DL on Sat Aug 12 22:19:37 BST 2000:

But i don't consider i have an over inflated ego (perhaps unsurprisingly)... i stand up for things i believe in, i stand by my decision to keep doing things i like doing, i.e. pursuing a dream. If he doesn't like that, fine, but he shouldn't put downers on other people because he's too slack to get off his own arse. even if it wasn't directed at me, i genuinely don't find anything he's said interesting or even vaguely funny. it's sub secondary school humour for the most. if that's what floats ya boat, good luck to you... run away to pontypridd and laugh together, just don't expect me to bake a cake... or something...

That's what you do in a forum, read it.

And as far as the needling... just let it go. The sniping is just as boring as your third-time assertions that what you do is good and everyone else is stupid for disagreeing with you.

Exactly. You *are* following him Dan, and everyone else who takes a pop at you, every time you come up with a verbose defence of yourself. I'll ask again - if people like Pete are 'turds' and their humour 'sixth form' (unfair - as I teach sixth formers who are funnier than both of you) then why bother replying to it. Rise above it, man.

Posted By DL on Sun Aug 13 11:49:22 BST 2000:

You say rise above it, but i'd rather highlight to people like that you don't have to be insulting to be funny...

And again with the fucking 'i am right and i do good' stuff... for fuck's sake... if you *are* reading it... i've never said that... i just believe in me having fun with what i want to do and what i enjoy... i don't think everyone should agree with me, you, anyone... people should have their own reasons for liking, hating, being indifferent to everything and anytihng...

LET ME PUT IT HERE IN PIXELS

i don't tihnk i am any better / worse than anyone in the same position to me...

i don't think you should agree with me OTHER THAN with the fact you should not agree with anyone just because it's easier... go for the more rewarding route of thinking for yourselves...

i have never said contrary to either of these. these are beliefs i live by, i'm not likely to change them just on this forum...

Let this end on the note that, be yourself. Be yourself and don't get told you're crap if you believe in what you're doing. That is the only message.

Dan, you've spent paragraph after paragraph in message after message having a go at the negativity of this site, and then you damn the idea of talking about something positively. Look up a bit - there's a Simpsons thread, with added Family Guy section. Why do you like The Simpsons? Read more carefully - most of us on this site (including The Corpses) love good comedy. You say you do as well - so why not "pull in the same direction" as us? Because you wouldn't stand out in the same way as you do? Because you'd be like the rest of us "fools", as you so charmingly put it?

Forgive me for assuming you're here to plug your site (or whoever GW belongs to) but you don't give me many other options. You don't try to join in with what we're talking about (and at the moment, there's an extremely wide range). If I have a problem with Hunter S Thompson, it's that he assumes that he is more interesting than the events he is writing about. If I may say so, you're in grave danger of falling into the same trap.

I've tried not to resort to cheap abuse so far, but I have to say that you rise to the bait with every single criticism or even silly comment. Can't you see that just makes people want to have a go all the more?

Anyway, I don't really see what else I can contribute to this, so....it really is up to you, Dan. Only you can stop this. (But do you want to stop? I don't think you do.)

Posted By DL on Mon Aug 14 09:02:17 BST 2000:

I wasn't saying i don't want to be positive, merely that human nature pushes for more negative feelings to be expressed before them...

your thompson points are right on the nose. i don't think, if you look at anything he actually writes about, he does anything interesting. BUT if you look at how he writes, that is the interesting thing...

i understand totally what you mean about 'not rising to the bait', but, to be honest, i have a tendency to push further and try and outwit someone than back down, it's just who i am... i suppose it's a heckler defence mechanism... thing is, a lot of mine are haphazard, or, more often than not so dry that they make the sahara look like center parcs...

i have added to other threads, positive and negative on this site.
i know it's easy for me to say, but i don't see this as wholly a problem about me. i am willing, and do, take good humour *with* good humour, but a lot of people forget that and just slag off things. not just me, things in generally, without looking at what it is at all. there's a set of wannabe corpses. the corpses, for all their sins, know a hell of a lot of stuff and their opinions, whether you agree or not, are based on a lot of evidence.

anyhoo...
