DoDo: How many planes crashing into massive buildings at near maximum speed have been part of your professional experience? manon: what makes you so eminently qualified to judge events? manon: no answer. Colman: You want an answer in twelve minutes??? manon: ok, you know something about engineering and/or aircraft? Colman: Me? Shit no. But I don't get all cranky if I don't get a response within twelve minutes. ...later, on a parallel thread... DoDo: 12 minutes passed.
...later, on a parallel thread...
DoDo: 12 minutes passed.
If I may comment this meta-discussion, I don't see my problems with manon's debating style explained by Jérôme's provocation, nor do I think mentioning that he won't follow Kos's policy is the same as "bringing up" Kos's banning policy, even though I disagreed with that initial comment by Jérôme and saw it as provocative (and implied so in a reply, which to complicate things was in turn taken as an insult by manon). *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
manon: what makes you so eminently qualified to judge events? blind faith or something more substantial?
6 mins later...
manon: no answer. I guess blind faith. And I thought we were all hip people who didn't put much faith in blind faith.
Those are arrogant, belittling comments that were not justified (by what you want to say about Jerome or by anyhting else). Colman stepped in with his twelve minutes comment to wisecrack... OK, it didn't work... and suggest manon was overdoing it.
Later, DoDo explained that he didn't reply instantaneously because he was looking for data. And when manon didn't reply to a question of his, he pulled out the "twelve minutes" clause. The troll rating for that was obviously ridiculous.
BTW, I asked manon three-quarters of an hour ago what she meant by "open for business". I mean to get an answer.
What, by me now? Wowee...
Let me point out, manon, that you have distributed troll ratings, while no one, afaik (if I'm wrong forgive me) has troll-rated you. And you have slung around some pretty high-handed comments about other people's capacities and qualifications. I don't think you are justified in passing yourself off as a victim.
