Cataduanes Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 [quote name='astronaut jones' date='15 February 2010 - 10:15 PM' timestamp='1266272152' post='2183532'] So you think this new attitude is going to stop people from giving you !@#$? The same people, no matter what, are going to give you the same !@#$ no matter how you act. You're more respectable than to stoop as low as I and a host of others do, or at least you were. [/quote] No i do not think any of us believe that will stop people giving out to us, some of us are grumpy jerks as a consequence of all the !@#$; nothing more-nothing less. That said some still encapsulate the old attitude (thinking of the likes of Pingu for instance). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In essence, you started acting that way because your new friends did and you're trying to fit in. You're better than that, and you don't need to act like an !@#$%^& just because your new friends do.

[/quote] Ah. You would counsel us to stick out instead? But doing that seems to attract swarms of pests. Oh - I get it - this is yet another one of those damned if you do, damned if you don't (so long as you are ODN) things isn't it? Why are you offering us advice anyway? Or, more to the point, what would you expect us to do with advice from someone who has devoted a significant portion of his career to kneejerk hating on every little thing we do? I'll stick with blaming potato, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no difference in the way people post that can be directly related to us joining CnG. I think peoples perception has changed, and they perceive what is said here in a different manner based on us joining CnG. I think it is not us who has changed but it is Jones' perception of us that has changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
