I'm not following anymore.

Actually, I wasn't following from the beginning.

[Scoops Novel]

Bo Xilai is quite an interesting man. He's known for encouraging people to join him in singing old revolutionary songs and the like.

Come on. Guess.

Isn't it bleedingly obvious that I'm going to ask him about the quoted statement? Pretty please?

[Scelly9]

No. It's fucking not.

[Scoops Novel]

No. It's fucking not.

In the best possible way, shove it up your ass. I held off swearing, you can do the same.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

God damn it, Novel.

After more than half a page of people being confused about it, it might be clear that they don't know.

Why not? Hell, what was wrong with my immediate response?

Name one board where that statement wouldn't prompt further comment.

The statement, the one single statement, i quoted him on two comments above.

I'm sure the answer to this question is self evident, even if it follows none of the conventions usually followed in our communications, and I shall persist in saying this no matter how many people disagree.

[Scoops Novel]

If i had said, "what am i going to ask, eh?", replete with the quote, would we be in this position? I hoped that a mild form of Socratic questioning wasn't completely unheard of.

Is that true of the immediate response i just mentioned? The one just below what you chose to quote? I am trying to improve here, so swallow your snark.

We probably would be, because there was no way to tell what it was you wanted to ask, be it what songs he was singing, whether the user that posted liked his songs, whether patriotic songs have any relevance to Chinese politics or any of the other thousands of questions you might ask.

Novel, the entire world does not think the way you do, you need to establish a solid context for your statements for them to make any sense. Otherwise you're pretty much just saying random gibberish, which is confusing and frustrating for the rest of the world.

[Scoops Novel]

I wanted a answer to the obvious questions you'd ask about the statement. I'll be more blunt next time, as i wasn't any less long-winded. Or i could have just kept going guess and see how I'd be badgered and/or lampooned, i suppose. Would have been funnier.

... Being deliberately obtuse for amusement is called trolling around these parts, don't do it.

It seemed to go over well before. Oh well.

[Owlbread]

Novel's so obtuse I don't even know what he's saying anymore, I feel sick when I try to understand.

[Bauglir]

I still don't know what the obvious question is.
