RPI Offseason Thread: Six Languages of Drivel

Most people treat their family better than they treat strangers. The rationale you provide is the same one that wife-beaters and child abusers provide to justify their behavior: I do nothing wrong, they provoked me, they "deserved" it.

No one has any problem with you acting like an obnoxious a55hole in political threads. Just leave that nonsense there. If you come here to beat up on your "friends" then there is something seriously wrong, it is not "blunt" nor "straight to the point" when you are abusive. it is a sign of a seriously disturbed mind.

I predicted in advance that you would rationalize away the constructive criticism. Every time I see you strike another person with your fist I will protest. It is not "blunt" to deliberately try to hurt other people, it is mean and cruel. If you cannot see that distinction then you really do need professional help.

You can be mean and cruel to others in the cafe as much as you like, and no one here will care at all. Every time you are gratuitously mean and cruel here, someone will protest. It might be any of 25 or 30 different people. How can you consider yourself to be a "friend" of RPI hockey if you go out of your way to alienate every RPI hockey fan??

If you believe that I am striking with fists and deliberately trying to hurt people, then I cannot take seriously your judgement of my character because you sorely mistake my character. I offer criticism only to those that require it, only when it comes to specific related topics, and only at that specific time. If you were to do something that is worth defending, then I will defend you at that time when it comes to that particular topic. Any "attacks", as you call them, are never personal. Every day is a new day and a fresh start. If it seems like I continuously go after specific people, it is because they continue to make tarsal-mandible contact. I do not hold any grudges. I speak my peace, leave it all out on the field of play, and move on. It's the exact same philosophy that Coach Appert mentioned when it came to Rick Bennett after the TUC brawl. They left it all out on the ice, and as far as I understand, continue to work together to improve capital district hockey.

The first time we had a disagreement, it was because you "jokingly" said that all women who attend(ed) RPI are (were) ugly. I gently suggested that maybe this "joke" was not at all funny, that many people here might have wives, daughters, girl friends who attend(ed) RPI and this "joke" was insulting to them and to their relatives and friends. You responded, not with an "oops, sorry" but by doubling down and trying to insist that your comment was indeed "reasonable" and "justified."

How does it come about that your "criticism" of the appearance of all RPI women was "justified"?? We are all curious: what makes it "required" for you to call all RPI women ugly, and not to back down?




The first time might have been sophomoric, the insistence the second time was deliberate.

It would have been, if you had stopped after the first time. That would have been fine.

The problem was, when you were offered a chance to recognize it wasn't funny, you instead chose to double-down and repeat it instead.

It was the repetition, not the initial comment, that displayed your true (lack of) character. and your behavior and responses ever since have merely reinforced it.




Let's try two syllogisms, you claim to be intelligent and logical.

Syllogism one:

1) Everyone makes mistakes, it is part of the human condition. No one is always right.
2) "Everyone" includes YOU.
3) Ergo, you sometimes make mistakes.

That logic seems inexorable and inarguable, right?



Syllogism two:

A). A failure to acknowledge a mistake means that the mistake will be repeated.
A') Contrapositive: Acknowledging a mistake means that the mistake can be corrected.
B) Correcting a mistake is generally a good thing.
C) Ergo, Acknowledging a mistake is generally a good thing.

That logic also seems inexorable and inarguable, right?



Set aside any differences for a moment. A truly friendly suggestion: try an experiment. Admit you are wrong now and then. It can be tremendously liberating. Correcting a mistake is healthy and wise. A person who never, ever, ever will admit to or acknowledge a mistake is merely compounding that mistake. Stubborn foolish pride is not an attractive characteristic in a person and it is unhealthy to live that way.

Logic -- the seventh language of drivel. ;)
