Gratification

Admitted?!

What’s the matter with you now!?

One thing is certain. Seems we are all gratifying ourselves with all this friendly chit-chat, and some more than others. Who is giving, and who is getting the most gratification? In this case, is it better to give than to receive?

It's gratifying to know the meaning of "the company you keep."

He 'admitted' he was on the spectrum? Admitted? Not shared or discussed, but admitted? Like it was something he was ashamed of?

How do you mean, admitted?

@divegeester said
Sorry, I was over doing the last word sentence thing.

What are you pretending to be upset about now… my use of “admitted”?

Umm let me have a think…. Yeah I felt it was an admission, an excuse even, as like you, he was being a bit of a prat at the time.

Just to clarify, you are a Christian?

@divegeester said
Do you find me calling you a prat, unchristian?

It’s the truth you know.

@ghost-of-a-duke said
You seem happy to demean people on the spectrum in order to delivery an insult on this forum. So yes, I find that distinctly unchristian.

@divegeester said
Ok, thanks for sharing.

After all, you are a qualified theologian.

@ghost-of-a-duke said
That's true.

@divegeester

Here's the thing, when you insult somebody by making a comparison to somebody/something else, you are delivering the insult both ends. For example, if you try and insult somebody by saying they are as stupid as a guy from Essex, you are not only insulting the person you are directing the insult at but also all the men in Essex. - So when you try and deliver one of your crafted insults by saying someone's communication is as bad as somebody on the spectrum, your insult is likewise all encompassing. (And yes, not very Christian. I thought that might matter to you).

Thanks for “admitting” it.

I really do think you are struggling with that particular word. Can I suggest a dictionary?

Edit: By Jove, I think he's gone to fetch one.
