what do scientists think about fate and destiny

[46AND2]

What i have learnt from @46AND2. It is fair to speak to people with impatience and its ok to be rude.

And now you are speaking (incorrectly) for me.

 

[the iconoclast]

Lol. No. He already spoke. Where have I added anything to his comment? I was just pointing out that you had added to it.

Maybe he agrees it was unfair, maybe he doesn't. I can only go by what he has said, and he never explicitly commented on fairness.

Its not a fact, or opinion. now you are unsure. Nice!

Its what i learnt from you my dear. Do you find this riveting?

 

[46AND2]

Huh? I'm not unsure. It's a fact he didn't SAY anything about fairness.

Since he did not, how can I know what he THINKS about it?

 

[46AND2]

No you didn't. I have not offered my opinion about it at all.

I'm not going to go in circles with you. I've said what I have to say.

I disagree.

What you have said is mundane and i would advise you to cease. Your input is not needed.

Lol. How rude.

Lol. I disagree.

... Its good that you acknowledge that i was not treated fairly.

On the contrary, given the circumstances, I think it was a fair exchange. If you act like a jerk or troll, you should expect to be treated like one.

 

[FrumiousBandersnatch]

Seriously, what is the deal with that?

I don't know, I can't recall another example online.

I've heard similar use of language, though less exaggerated, when talking face-to-face to people with old dialects, e.g. in Cornwall ("my deerio", "my luvver"), and it was fairly common in the UK at one time, particularly in rural areas, to address women as "dear" and "love", but it's been considered patronising and sexist for many years now.

But there's a significant difference between such casual use in face-to-face social interaction among close friends & family, and using it of strangers in online discussion, when it comes across as more sarcastic than "my friend" ("Listen, my friend, you're being a jerk...").

I know right! You are a unique and beautiful individual

See this is exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm not sure of the intent of saying stuff like the above, but it comes across as insincere and creepy/insulting.

Hey hey

My intent is you encourage you to be the best. I will not stop

Hey hey

Cool so you agree to me being treated with impatience and in a rude way.

You accuse me of being a jerk and a troll. I disagree with this assessment and hold no grudge against you.

Cheers

 

[the iconoclast]

Hey hey and hehe

What happened in a way contrary to what is expected, and typically causing wry amusement?

What was this expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect?

Cheers

What is this faux naivete? Others thought the post was clear and to the point.

I see two explanations; either you really don't understand it, or you really do understand it. Neither does you credit.

Hey hey fbs

Fbs - "I think you were treated with impatience, and a little rudely, and I can understand why."

That's not what I said.

Fbs - "If you act like a jerk or troll, you should expect to be treated like one."

You have labelled me as a jerk or a troll, due to how you judge my behaviour and you agree with how i was treated.

Please excuse me, no.

You made a statement now i want you to back it up with an example. Show me the irony?

Again, that's not what I said - you actually quoted what I did say. But let me paraphrase: "If you come across like a jerk or troll, you should not be surprised to be treated correspondingly."

Secondly, saying I understand why something happened doesn't mean I agree with it.

Please excuse me, no.

The irony I saw was that you called 46AND2's post mundane and advised him to cease and told him that his input was not needed, when I and others felt the same about many of your posts.

More simply, it was intended to reflect a rude response back on its author, i.e. a way of saying, "don't be a jerk".

Is that clear enough?
