Up Front: Fairy-Tale Autopsies, in reply to Emma Hart,
Really? Cos, I was going to say that you could suggest everyone sits around thinking about tremendous dicks for a few minutes.
(And right now is where I leave, having expended my daily “smutty and inappropriate comment” quota on one comment.)

Up Front: Fairy-Tale Autopsies, in reply to Emma Hart,
Separately? I think a handful of times. Together? Never.
I keep thinking back to the post-september-quake PAS gathering/commiserbration, and that table full of families, who gave us very filthy looks.
Or even, "hey, if I get you right here, I'm a bit offended by that". That's good too.
The only problem with that, is when they don't answer, you get even more offended. And in my own case, shrill.

Hey, if anyone’s coming out… Wait. That’s inappropriate.
And that has stopped us…exactly when? No, I mean it, name a time being inappropriate has stopped either of us doing something.
I am not nearly so painstaking (I wonder if any of them have noticed?) to avoid any hint of a snark with them. (Of course, the next time we all meet up, I might get a bop over the ear for my smarts!)
Nah, the PAS community is violence-free. Or so I’ve been told, or I wouldn’t be nearly so free with my snark.

Because meeting people face to face really, really helps. (As does PA's legendary Responsibly Priced Alcohol policy.)
I have to say, the RPAP has helped me with a number of things. As to whether any of those things were positive, that's another question.
But yeah, the meeting of people, the joking in real life...__really__ important. (And hey, one of my dearest friends, who is now describing me as her girlfriend all over the internet, came out of this place. So I am immensely thankful.)

I have been a colossal ass on the internet before
Sorry Bart, but I really don’t believe you.
No offense to Bart intended, cos he’s awesome, but I totally can. The thing is, we’ve all been asses on the internet. (BEEN, not seen.)
Because it’s just like real life, sometimes, you behave badly, unwittingly, or otherwise. And just like in real life, all you can do is apologise, endeavour not to do it again, and move on. Sadly, the internet has a Loooong memory.

Up Front: Fairy-Tale Autopsies, in reply to Russell Brown,
I don't know about anyone else, but I read here for ages before I started commenting. For a long time I was completely intimidated, and never thought I had anything to contribute to the discussion. That, and my famed reticence.
I tend to think that's a good thing. I knew the community ages before I started talking to it.
In other news, ally delivers quite the troll snackdown here

Hard News: Limping Onwards, in reply to Jacqui Dunn,
I suspect it’s not your life and money Danyl is lamenting the wasting of, but of the taxpayer’s.
Thank God I stopped doing that then.

Whereas, a person who persisted in twatcockish sophistry would be a… Pubic Intellectual? (Can’t think of any, but you know what I mean).
I am sure we can come up with a suitably Tyra-ish smackdown.

To which I still think that my original “bollocks” constituted the correct response, if I may so so myself.
And that is why we are nominating you as New Zealand's Next Public Intellectual.

And, no officer, David Haywood can’t remember the guy’s name – or even, come to think about it, what pub he was in.
Is admitting excess drunkenness really your best bet in that situation, David?
But very pleased to hear from you again, even in less than ideal circumstances. I hear you may be heading back to the homestead?
