--- Quote ---Well, stable, at least.
We play scrabble, too, but I think that's more abusive...
--- End quote ---
Why? Because you lose?
--- End quote ---
No, because we spend he whole time trying to beat each other ... XD
--- End quote ---
That was terrible.

It beat the hell out of your cheap shot at his Scrabble skills, of all things.

--- End quote ---
Wouldn't you have to pull that out of your mouth first?
--- End quote ---
Yeah, you definitely seem like a guy who knows a lot about "intelligent discourse".
IanClark:
To summarize:
A toxic person is someone whose influence is overall harmful to the people around them.
Odin posits that most of the Questionable Content characters are toxic people due to their personalities.
We, the fans, are fans because we empathize with the characters.
People empathize best with people similar to themselves.
Therefore, the Questionable Content characters are at least somewhat similar in personality to the majority of the people reading it.
Therefore, Odin posits that we are all toxic people.
The implication that one is a toxic person is harmful to one's own self-esteem.
Odin's influence is therefore harmful to the people around him.
This makes Odin what?

sorry, what's TL;DR ?
--- Quote from: Moxie on 09 Sep 2010, 09:27 ---Although, really Dora, don't encourage Pintsize.
--- End quote ---
:laugh: Pintsize, Relationship Counselor.
--- Quote from: raoullefere on 09 Sep 2010, 01:55 ---Oh, and points to Marten for more full disclosure. So long as he holds to that, he keeps the moral authority (or whatever you want to call it)
--- End quote ---
I call it the moral high ground. It's a good thing to hold onto. :-D
--- Quote from: Moxie ---Funny, I didn't have an issue with the word "handling", as I agree that Dora does need it. What I didn't like today was Marten's line of "You're not a mess" (because she is, albeit not as much of one as some others), and his line "We can fix this". I'm trying to decide what it is about that particular line that I don't like. I think it's partly the "we", because while Marten can help, I do think Dora needs outside help more...Marten's done all he can I believe.
--- End quote ---
I think he's saying these technically "inaccurate" things to make it clear to her that he's on her side in the coming struggle. She needs his total support here, more than accurate criticism. :oops: (Some of us have had to learn that kind of discretion...)

TL;DR or TLDNR stands for Too Long; Didn't Read or Too Long Did Not Read.
