The grinds my gears thread

[Lynch]

(this is the part where Lynch tells me I'm riled up and claims victory.)

Oh no, the victory is ALL yours. You showed me.


I do enjoy how you pretend everything is all in good-hearted fun but quite often, it's not until after someone calls you out on it. It's a theme that dates back several years and over several boards.

At the end of the day, yeah it is good natured and I doubt there's ever (or rarely) any bad feelings on either side of the monitor, but at the moment of posting, it -can- be obvious that sometimes it's not.

You're a good shit and I'd be more than happy to buy the first round if we ever were to meet, but you have done more than your fair share of backpeddling .

(not that I haven't --- I mean ... I first learned how to ride a unicycle backwards)

[Lynch]

But really, re-reading my post and adding in more points I felt I forgot to include after-the-fact in an edit has always been my M.O.

Nobody should really respond to any of my posts until about a minute or two after it's posted

fair enough

I never claim it to be in good natured fun. I just claim it to not be in bitter and angry hatred. There's a happy middle ground in there where I'm not exactly trying to rib the other person in a jovial nature because I really mean what I'm arguing...ahem, debating...but that doesn't mean I'm upset about it like the term "bickering" implies.

[Lynch]

Fair enough. I used bickering in a more light-hearted meaning than arguing, including when I posted it a page or so back.

Not going by Webster/Merriam/Oxford's definition of anything, when I use "bickering" in any context, it's meant more as playful 'arguing' back and forth. When I think of argue or argument, I think of the wife and that's usually not the least bit light-hearted. Arguing, to me, is one step below fighting (verbally, of course).

It really grinds my gears when someone offers you a sim league trade and then withdraws when you agree to it. Thats some BS tactics.

It seems like every time I get a bingo in words with friends it's a common seven letter word typically ending in -ers or -ing or something you'll hear in general conversation. But when someone gets a bingo against me it's something like havarti or some other obscure bs I've never heard of.
