I use the Oxford comma. I just like it better.

I don’t like spicy foods at all.

And I don’t like much spice in life, either (a possible “tragic flaw” of mine). I am content just sitting around and looking at mountains and seas.

Don't put yourself down, KK.

that girl put fake tan on her face but not her hands.. hands usually darken the first esp when driving...
chest also darkens less and slower -- this is one reason they say sunscreen is important there. because enough protection via melanin isn't happening and cancer can show up (also for ears)


This spoiler is only for blooiejagwa.
So, please don't read it. :mrgreen:

You are adorable. :heart:

I'm confused about the topic here. Are we still talking about how to help WP or is that passé?

I was never “the man who would be king”—and, frankly, I don’t give two craps about that.

My hackles are up, and that doesn't happen often. 8O

Use your intelligence and determine the intent of the "Blunt Honesty".
Control your emotional interference and focus on being rational.

*INTENT* is vital, and yet so many people are oblivious to this fact.

BTW,
Thanks for the bit of spice in our conversation.
I don't get that all too often. :mrgreen:


i keep throwing side things for you to make fun of but you are remaining on topic.
impressive.


Not that impressive.
Look at my spoiler. :mrgreen:

We are engaging in amiable, witty dialogue.....this should be the overall tone of WrongPlanet in the future.

An acknowledgment of our faults....but always with a desire to mitigate them through amicable means.

That's always been WP's strongest feature.
It's too bad some of the most amiable and witty people aren't able to post any more, but I'm glad to see some return.

According to blooiejagwa, I was doing a good job of being on topic, even if I had added the compulsory bit of humour. ;)

To the general participants in this conversation:

The topic I am focusing on, at hand is:

Moderate your "Snowflakedness"!
Aspie's strength *IS* their honesty and political correctness *SHOULD* be second fiddle!
Hoowa! :ninja: :mrgreen:

But yes, it is a balancing act. 8)

I wish some MORE would return. Show that they’re not intimidated by the schmucks in our midst.

The majority of the membership would take them over all the people whose only motivation is to bully and show off their superiority.

That’s my whole point, really. The Amiable Ones should wield their strength in numbers.

Not being condescending. I actually quite like your style.

That sounds great, but sadly they aren't necessarily allowed to return.
That's my whole point, really, too. :(

I do have a copy of his last book, but I can't remember if it went down well or not so I better not post it.
It was an updated re-write of Machiavelli's "The Prince".


Fnord is a smart cookie. An articulate, precise, coherent cookie. Please note and applaud my Oxford Comma thingy.


Yes, he is a smart "cookie".
But I am as smart as *HE* thinks he is, and that makes me, well, you know. ;)

There needs to be a balance.
There is usually a male/female thingie happening.

There needs to be a balance in between.
Neither side should dominate, imo.

"Reason" should trump emotionalism.
Erm, Excuse the "trump" word.
Who would have thought a politician would make a word unfashionable? :scratch: :mrgreen:
