Lol, English seems to be a very difficult language for you. : D

If Hound - or anyone - asks an unserious question, then my response may be just as unserious. Response isn’t synonymous with behavior, though. I could, in fact, quite seriously deliver an unserious response.

This is basic stuff, Binger. But, I know that you know this and that you’re just being overly performative. ; )




And here you just make stuff up. This is all so predictable. I’m sure that next you’ll just keep repeating the made-up stuff. Go for it. It’ll still be made up.

I just hope that y’all are being as unserious as you come across, because if not, then you’re trying a bit too hard in auditioning for the top Karen spot. Hound is going to be jealous if you win.
If you consider Hound’s posts unserious, you will not be serious or respond seriously. I believe that. Hound dictates your reaction. This is what you have repeated.
Nope. I choose my response. And it’s always my choice on how I will respond.

You can argue that you are helpless and that your behavior is caused by someone else. It’s your prerogative to play the victim in order to rationalize your poor choices in reacting. I’ll continue to choose to act and think differently.

So if Hound posts and you deem it unserious, you choose to react unseriously. So Hound still has the lead here. Now you aren’t only reacting, you are choosing to react based on Hound’s choice. Who’s your daddy?

You’re still trying to conflate terms. ‘React’ isn’t synonymous with the content of a response. A response itself can be unserious, and sent by someone who is responding seriously.

By your reasoning, I’m somehow forcing you to repeatedly be disingenuous. ‘Who’s your daddy’, indeed. : D

Stay helpless, Binger. I accept that you are ceding control to me. I could choose otherwise, but this is more fun.

Reactions are more innate, somewhat reflexive and not as controlled as a response. They are both done after the initial triggering event or information.

You claim that your response and reactions to Hound are based on Hound. This is your view and what you have told us. You can't or wont be serious to Hound because of Hound. Right?

Nope. You’re still pretending to not understand English. But, it’s only because I’m forcing you to be repeatedly disingenuous. You are not in control. Just wait until you see how I make you respond next. : D

Whether I understand English or not is not relevant. You can clarify this. If Hound is deemed unserious, by you, you choose a reaction and/or response that is not serious.

What is not clear about this?

I can choose a reaction that I determine to be as serious as I want to be. By definition, this indicates that I am appraising and selecting a response and a level of seriousness. Thank you for proving my point.

Do you like how I forced you to look like you are having trouble with language, and now logic? You are helpless! I’ll force you to do the same again. : )

You didn't answer the question! Did you say something to the affect of, " that you're response back to me , will be given at the level of serious that my PMs are written?" Meaning, I need to very careful with how I word my questions or I won't receive a serious response if you become upset or feel disrespected with how I decided to ask you a question. Do you understand that if you feel that way, you're a narcissist! you're implying that my actions determine your actions. You're shifting the blame on me if I don't agree with your response!
Oh, good! You have suddenly found your ‘deleted’ PM. I’ll take your sudden willingness to discuss the content as your consent to discuss the content.

You’re referring to your statement: “I requested a single thread where board members could pose questions and anticipate receiving a thoughtful response from a moderator.”

My reply:

“Regarding a rules thread request: We have this in the Spirit Paradise forum, with its split (for the inevitable posts that require it) in Spirit Prison; given your participation within it I’m not sure if you’re requesting a new version, or expressing a thought regarding the present setup. Regardless, my own responses to your questions - if you are seeking them - will be given with the same level of seriousness that your inquiries, their content and your resulting actions demonstrate. That seems like a fair approach, and gives you great control over the path of the conversation.”

I stand by that reply.

Now, put that PM in a safe place, this time. : )
So which is it? Will you choose your response or will it be dictated by your interpretation of Hound’s seriousness?

See your words above?

I choose to make you endlessly repeat yourself as you try to convince yourself that you’re making sense.

Accept your own conditions, which are actually my conditions that are forced upon you, to believe in and respond to. You are just a puppet to be controlled by everyone around you.

Okay. So your contradiction stands? On the one hand, you respond based on Hound’s seriousness, and on other, you choose to respond based on Hound’s seriousness?

I am fine leaving it at that.
