You can't conceive of the concept that two people might agree on certain points without making an unholy cabal of it, can you? I've "allied"

myself with Zinj? And, nice OSA-like DA attempt on him, BTW. I agree with CO$ that SSRI drugs are overperscribed as a universal panacea. I've agreed with Garry Scarff on occasion. Hell, I've even found myself agreeing on some issues brought up by a lesbianpaganpsychicunemployable catwhispering Buttsquasher on occasion! Have I "allied" myself with you as well?

Lemme 'splain something to you. You seem to have the misapprehension that friendship is something you can form from a distance without ever meeting. This is fatuous. You may meet people you develop an affinity for online, but until you actually meet them, you don't have a real sense of who they really are, because your brain fills in the blank spots in your mental image of them.

Nah, here's how it works. I am civil to people I don't know until they display traits or behavior that I don't care for. There's nothing dishonest about being pleasant to people until you don't like them. And I certainly didn't have to encourage your small talk on channel. In fact, that's one of the things I don't care for...your coming on and proceeding to dominate the channel with endless accounts of your personal life and problems. You never even noticed that most people there were already involved in a conversation that didn't focus on you.

You never noticed that most of the channel went quiet as people went off to continue their conversations in other "rooms." You once asked me, "where is your compassion?" Heh, well, now you know. I was the one who remained to talk to the boring troubled person while everyone else went elsewhere.

Still, self-involvement isn't enough to make me dislike someone. I'm reasonably tolerant in most things. I don't have much patience for people who flock to the herd mentality, though. Nor do I have any patience when it comes to people who echo other peoples' thoughts without actually having their own. I see you as a sheep who has decorated herself with lots of shiny little trinkets in order to set herself apart from the herd. All the little social gimmicks in the world can't conceal the mediocrity your posts reveal.

This doesn't mean I think I'm somehow better than you. It just means that you are not the sort of person I tend to like in the real world.

You should be aware that my opinion shouldn't have any effect on you, as it's only my opinion and really doesn't matter. I'm sure you have friends who do like you. They're the ones who's opinion should matter to you.
