Originally posted by PalynkaIf you have something creative to say in regards to the original post then say it. While some may accuse me of trolling I felt the need to state my opinion and was capable to defend it. However you have added nothing constructive or critical which defeats the point of these boards. My intent was to jumpstart a discussion. Whats your intent?
Why? You seem to like it, as well.

I haven't called anyone anything yet, I'm merely suggesting it's not a particularly constructive thing to do. I guess I'm hoping that you'd be mature about it.
Not all things in life have to be constructive, do they?
For example, your implicit accusation that I'm immature wasn't constructive. Do I feel offended? No. Why? Because I can take it like the pun it is.
Originally posted by PalynkaNot all things, no. But if you give me the option between calling the life of someone you've never met 'pathetic', or doing something which is constructive, guess which I'd opt for.

Originally posted by StarrmanSo I guess that for you something constructive must be somewhere in between calling someone "pathetic" and calling someone "immature".

And what is this "White Knight" complex? Do you think Canadaguy cannot fend for himself?
Originally posted by PalynkaI thank Starrman for stepping in, but you have yet to put forward anything for me to defend against yet.
So I guess that for you something constructive must be somewhere in between calling someone "pathetic" and calling someone "immature".

Originally posted by PalynkaI didn't call you immature, I suggested that by continuing in such a manner your actions would be immature. This is entirely different from calling someone's life pathetic. This is a public forum and everyone has a right to post here without being subjected to insults. Whether Canadaguy can defend himself or not is immaterial, I think you were out of order.

Originally posted by PalynkaI'm sure he stepped in because he thought you were being unfair and unessesarily hostile. I thanked him because he was being nice and helping out. If you had been reading these posts, my original complaint was against love and sex. And while iwas being faily negative about it that doesn't mean I'm not a nice person or an Ogre. And thanking him on his niceness doesn't contradict my position
Contradiction. So why did he step in and why do you thank him for it?
Originally posted by StarrmanI'm not insulting him, I truly believe his life is pathetic if it is like he described it.

He said:
" Both Love and sex will have a negative impact on you[sic] life. Dedicate you[sic] life to better things. Like money."
Personally, I think he is the one that is trolling. If I'm wrong and he really believes this than I truly believe his life to be pathetic. And I'm sticking to my point of view, whether you like it or not.
Originally posted by PalynkaFine, you're entitled to your opinion. Perhaps you should have expressed it as a complete opinion instead of an easily misconstruable one word statement.

Originally posted by PalynkaFinally, you've made a point, for which I can defend myself against. I have never really said my life is pathetic, just that I like to focus on money, which you find pathetic. I don't see why. I'm perfectly content with surrounding myself with material possesons, and its not really the money that makes me happy but spending it on trivial entertainment items and junk food. This is something i'll do till the day I die and will have lived a satisfying existence. Shame on you for judging me for that, just because you do not believe it is a worthwhile purpose.
