[serious] Thread in which I negotiate with Ben Kenobi for his apology

[Asher]

Asher insults Ben for no apparent reason.

Ben gets worked up and sees a bogeyman in Asher's post, accuses Asher of saying something that simply wasn't said.

Asher gets worked up by the very behavior that he expects Ben to exhibit and then demands an apology from Ben.

That about right?

Reasonably accurate. "No apparent reason" is not accurate. Ben is reason enough.

Ben gets worked up and sees a bogeyman in Asher's post, accuses Asher of saying something that simply wasn't said.

BTW, this is key. I called Ben a pathological liar and he responded by being a pathological liar. Which proves I was not being insulting, but instead insightful, predictive, and pretty damn awesome.

[Ben Kenobi]

That about right?

Add in, "Asher accuses me of being just like his crazy ex, and then proceeds to tell a story about how his ex faked an obit..."

[Wezil]

sorry, there were so many other rainbow-humpers in that list i lost track.

I understand. The rest of those people are flamers.

[Asher]

Add in, "Asher accuses me of being just like his crazy ex, and then proceeds to tell a story about how his ex faked an obit..."

Ex?

See, here you are again...being a pathological liar.

[Ben Kenobi]

Asher, if you had just left it as, "Ben is a pathological liar" I wouldn't have cared.

Ex?

That's what she said. Why should I believe you over her?

[Asher]

WTF is wrong with you?

[Ben Kenobi]

Let's see.

Woman I've never met.

or

Asher who I know all too well, who takes the time to compare this woman to me.

Yeah, I'm so going to go with Asher.

How is your ex doing by the way?

[Asher]

I don't know where you got this ex stuff from. You're so epicly stupid that it's not even funny (any more).

[Wezil]

Good point. How do we know this isn't an invented stalker?

[Asher]

FWIW, I don't have a single ex unless you count first dates.

I am a tremendous judge of character. If I go to 2 dates, he's a keeper.

[Solomwi]

No, Ben will be out at third. Ruth, who plays there for my team, will tag him and has no intention of marrying him.



Sorry for reducing your threadcount, but sorry Asher for hijacking your thread to mock the fact that you think Ben will ever apologise to you unless ordered to directly by Benedict XVI. Sorry.

But if Ruth tags Ben, that will mean he made it safely around third and all the way to home plate!

Asher, I'd apologize for something just to win your praise, but instead I'll give you a greater gift: allowing you to open not one, but TWO threads demanding my apology, to make up for duke's insensitivity. You're on your own for the first one. The second can be for my mocking the very idea that you're owed the first apology.

[zakubandit]

OK so Asher wants Ben to apologize, and stop being the cause of global warming or something. And Ben wants to remove the overzealous Asher from his dictator position to replace him with someone Ben can control better. Right? Well, how bout you guys just shoot nukes at each other and get it over with. The war will be quick and painless...no one ever apologizes.

[Guynemer]

I demand an apology for being tricked into reading this thread.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Wow. Just wow.

The leap Ben made (Asher mentioning an obituary = accusing Ben of fabricating his dad's death) is one of the more spectacular feats of narcissism I've seen in a long time (as well as another splendid demonstration of Ben's complete lack of reasoning skills).

Narcissism, pathological lying ... anybody got the DSM handy?
