Nuke, any questions for me, or accusations to respond to?
Yah. You are acting like you are being really helpful. But you aren't really. See, asking questions, pointing out small things, and fussing over irrelevant details
(If redwarrior says in advance he will be absent, and is then absent, on or around the appropriate time, then he isn't lurking. End of story) isn't very helpful. It looks helpful- but it really isn't anything next to good old statements. Which end in full stops, not question marks.
For example:
Nuke, any questions for me, or accusations to respond to?
Feels like you don't want to hurt my feelings. Its like you are asking my permission to defend yourself.
Here is a better response:
Nuke, loving that 'no arguments, just slipping it in there' sort of thing. Maybe no one will see it? Maybe I won't see it, then you can call me on it later on, hmm? Gee, sorry to rain on your parade there, buddy. Anyway, unless you go ahead and support your self with some actual arguments, I just can't take you seriously.
See, here you (a less scummy you) are attacking me for the fact that I used no arguments. Which is sort of what you were hinting at in your actual statement, except that had a question mark on the end. This is more likely to make me sit up and take notice, waaaaaaay more likely
* to make me panic, testing my defences and revealing my alignment. Sure, it makes you stick out more- it would be an actual opinion, not a suggestion of an opinion that you might have, maybe, if you don't mind?- but that's actually what we're going for here! We (the town) should all be open with our opinions, so that those who aren't (because their opinions are 'I want to eat your insides') stand out.
SO, TOASTER.
D'you think you can tell me why you are so concerned about appearing nice rather than actually saying what you think and finding some scum? Maybe with some good ol' periods on the end? (Or if you're feeling real confident, a shiny exeklamation mark!)
Although, of course, I understand if you don't want to, what with you being, you know. Scum.
