I would agree with this wikipedia definition and add that this is an appeal to the majority, or common sense, which can only be determined by the values of the one using the statement, and therefor, what is rude, and who or who isn't rude, is determined solely by the values of the one using the term and has no basis in reality. Furthermore a determination of what is and isn't rude relies on a subjective interpretation of the implicit intention of the original speaker. A feat which could be easily obscured by any number of biases or logical fallacies.

Hey, looks like you are gonna spew all night.
I took the remark as offensive, I felt it was rude, and if you stop your waffling for a minute and be honest,..then you can't deny it, it was rude, it was rude, childish and born out of a feeling of superiority. You can rattle on all you like my friend, but I'm talking man to man here, not book to book. Anyway, I really do have something much better to occupy me before bed time than you...I really do, so sorry and all that old chap, maybe you can give me stick some other time......I may even enjoy it if I'm in the right mood. Bye bye.
peace and love to Ontario.

You're right! Now shut up and have a laugh!

P.S. You DO act as though you think you're superior. You can surely see why this would upset some people.

Some of us have opinions without having to look everything up.

I agree with a lot of what you say but I too, feel like you think you are better than everyone else.

If you are so strongly opinionated, why do you like Pearl Jam - they're not perfect.

You sound like a teenager. - Kelly

I like their music. I can't even name everyone in the band. I'm not better than everyone. But I try to acknowledge things for what they are. I know my smoking addiction is an addiction and I don't advocate the use of tobacco by talking about how rad it was that I smoked so much I puked.

Good grief!

I'd stop to play, I think I qualify on account I'm not really awake , but now I see I gots to go get me one of them jobs the government is handing out to people with disabilities that I never knew about. :rolleyes:


Ryan, if you're bored and reading back, it would appear that you are, stop stalking the poor bastards on AET that are just doing their thing and pull your finger out and get a good debate happening on the Train.
And don't go getting poo pants with me either. I'm just saying. You should be able to cope with that.

Anyhoo, g'morning all!

Standby for pm's.

The train isn't going anywhere today, it's on hiatus, getting drunk I presume. I'd much prefer to be there.

Well I knew that without even having to look, on account everywhere I did look on AET there you were!

Now I've given you a lovely reason to go anihilate me on your poppies thread why don't ya go give it your best shot? (it's not much I know but I'm trying to help you out ) And stop freaking people out with your serious stuff over here on the trip? Unless of course you'd like lessons in how to be fun?

Thanks Jeanie, but I think we just about handled the pompous windbag by ourselves, he's not much for talk, he's all for quoting books, but then with time like that on your hands what else would you do?

Now James, be nice, it's all just different communicating styles.

I can usually tell when Ahnimus is bored, and he has a different way of communicating than most people. That's cool. We're all different right?
I mean otherwise the whole world would be beige! I mean who wants shades of beige???

Always reminds me of The Twelfth Man (Billy Birmingham) and his Richie Benaud impersonation,
"Now what should I wear? The beige? The off white? The cream?

Well it's obvious you took exception but it's a complete waste of energy as far as I can see. People just have different styles is all.

Now how bout a group hug? This stuff is getting WAY too serious for the Trip.

i heard something about a group hug?!

Sorry Jeanie, but the guy was out of order, he was picking a fight, and if it had been some of the other guys not me, he'd have gotten it. I'm not saying he's a rude person, just that he was rude to me and the others here. And I make absolutely no apologies for anything I said to him. And I'm sure he doesn't give a shit either, so you stop worrying already.
good night.

I just read the whole thread again.

My first post was about talking to myself, then I said I was dancing to the theme from the bugaloos, then someone said my thread on poppies "sucks ass", and I sarcastically said this thread was much better, you said something about me ruining your thread, I said I'm on a different page go back to talking about peanuts and you called me flipant, rude and superior.

OK, I didn't say shit to you. I may have alluded to the fact that you'd completely 'serioused out' a fun thread, but I never said anything bad, or mean, and I certainly had a point....then you insulted me with the flipant comment. I told you quite politely how I viewed it, but you seemed hell bent on forcing some sort of 'book found order' down my gullet. I'm not interested...get the news.
Anyway, piss off...there that's all you've been wanting me to say isn't it?
Can we leave it now Einstein?

I don't know what comment you are talking about. All I know is that you seriously misinterpret me. The result being you are offended and offensive. But I don't take offense, because I'm used to it.

Peanuts, Mike Modano, Scrubs, Beer, Pearl Jam.

That was my fault.

Different ways of comunicating:

You were being sarcastic.
I was being silly. I've spent too much time reading the guys posts on here. Some of the language is starting to rub off. It doesn't suit me, I know.
