Please feel free to ignore the following bit and just enjoy the link!!!

Now there is a "gentleman" part way down calling himself "possum". He seems to have some quite singular opinions about our little life choices here. I am NOT saying anyone should flame him ( Read more... )

I am certain... brute_force November 8 2008, 01:45:15 UTC

... he will have some lame yet still anonymous come back. I doubt he will accept my invitation to tea.

Looking at his user profile, he's a 20 yr old student in Birmingham. Presumably still channelling teen angst if he needs to tell everyone that he's so much more hard-core alternative than anyone else. With a spot of luck he'll look back one day and cringe.

NB: no offense intended to the lovely youthful steamers on this list, in case I sound all ageist, it's more that I hope his level of self-obsession can be grown out of.

I read everything at that link, but I'm not going to dignify "Possum" with a reply. I doubt that anything sensible and polite we could say would make any impact on him. He seems a right and proper troll, feeding his ego with replies would only make him worse.

Unfortunately, there will always be people ready to put others down for enjoying things that they, themselves, cannot enjoy. "Possum" looks to be one of those killjoys. I pity him, really. It must suck to be him.

I know... brute_force November 8 2008, 01:28:02 UTC

that I should be a better man and ignore such petty jibes.
But, on rare occasion the worse man in me whacks the better one over the head and takes his lunch money.

Re: I know... vila_resthal November 8 2008, 02:05:23 UTC

Oh, I fully agree Sir. Were it my Lady Wife he'd insulted I'd feel just the same as do you. Personally, I'd like nothing better than to witness this fellow learn the error of his ways. But, methinks the joke is actually upon him. *WE* have the Family of Steam to to commune with as we will. He, on the other hand, has only his own bile to keep him company. Truth to tell, being himself is probably a worse torture than any that you or I could inflict upon him.

I agree he's not worth the two seconds it would take to cut him down.

a gentleman's past-time does not often include feeding trolls.

Normally.. brute_force November 8 2008, 01:35:24 UTC

.. I would agree.
Till he made my lady (who made the outfit herself)feel bad.

Meh. He's expressed himself rudely, but he's got a valid opinion and it's his right to have it. I mean, let's face it, Steampunk is kind of silly. It's OUR kind of silly, of course, which is why we're kind of hinky about people who act like this, but I've seen much worse behavior in my time.

All I'm saying is, let's just keep this in perspective, is all. ^_^

I am of course... brute_force November 8 2008, 01:33:27 UTC

.. in full agreement on his right to have an opinion.
I am just excersizing that self same right.
... and inviting him to tea......

Re: I am of course... dave_iii November 8 2008, 02:47:36 UTC

Quite so. ^_^

"ever meet an Art critic who could paint?"
