No Time Is Left To Relax

[leora]

The subject is a Jones in the Fast Lane reference, a fun game, by the way. At least, I liked it. It is an old game, so not very impressive by today's standards, but a bit of humor in it. It's basically a game of life. You need to get a job, buy groceries, try to accumulate education (to get a better job) and money and such. You set your goals at

Ooh, neat links! I just read about the studies and the condiments.

Also, I'm all about the obscure Sierra games. (Okay, maybe not so much this decade, but still... I spent a fair share of time on Jones in the Fast Lane. It annoyed me when my sister got a good job at the University with no experience (unlikely but possible), while I was still working fast food.)

You spent the weekend washing and waxing your marble. You spent $15.

No problem re: the card. Glad to see you around, even a bit.

Hey,

OT, but apparently that's safe here. :-)

I'm flying in Sunday (hopefully someone who lives near/with you will have told you this if I forgot to). I don't remember if I sent you my schedule because I'm not sure I have a current e-mail for you now. Can I use @lj? I would love to see you and housemates and other social circle folks. I'll try to get myself organized tomorrow. Need to run to work now.

[leora]

Yeah, the @lj one works. I hadn't heard, or don't recall. But I'm sure I can see you. Whatcha here for?

How's this for an e-mail?

I did nothing wrong, and I don't intend on changing how I behave, especialy for someone who attacked me to start with. Guess what!? I don't care if you banned me, enjoy being the mini dictator of your community.

Well done. Note, the community rules as stated say, "This is open to everyone, but only non-offensive answers and posts will be accepted

"you show a complete lack of understanding of what is required for civil discourse"

I believe you are the one who called me an "asshole" You may not have liked my comments but you are the one you started in with the name calling.

Grow up.

I have no problem with obscenity in language so long as it is used accurately and truthfully. You are an asshole, so I have no problem with calling you one.

It is the content of the message that matters. You have shown evidence of having nasty content and no evidence of ever having any decent content. I, on the other hand, am fully capable of doing both. So, yes, you can point to me being mean to you, because you needed someone to punish you. However, I can also point to myself being nice to people who are nice. It's almost like an actual implementation of a karma system on a small-scale.

Try being decent and nice and people might actually be nice to you back. However, as I've never seen you try it, I haven't done so to you.

Afterall, tit-for-tat is the most effective prisoner's dilemma strategy. You can change your behavior at any time you choose.
