^^^Marten was warned about using the unisex restroom at the library to masturbate! He just didn't listen! (reference to Clerks II, by the way)

Just sayin.

It isn't anywhere near a majority, only the two or three people that don't bother to read (or don't retain, pick one) what has been discussed in the past two or three weeks of WCDT.
I don't have a problem with them, personally. I just can't resist the urge to poke fun at people that are not paying attention to things that were just discussed in this forum not even a week ago that contradicts the problems they have with what I say half the time (this latest argument being the exception); like the post above ignoring the lengthy thread we had discussing the time gaps in recent strips (and a couple prior instances of the same gaps earlier in the QC series).
--- Quote ---I don't personally think it's a thicker skin you need - it seems plenty thick enough. But you really need to work on your communication skills. You say things so often with no explanation, and using broad generalisations. Your first comments here were just that, it took you two or three tries to elucidate your idea enough to be understandable, all the while bitching that people didn't understand what you were trying to say, and insulting those who toook offense - so much so that you baited a few other posters. Your MO may not be anger, but it's not attractive, either.

I just don't see the need to go trawling through 50 pages of 3 different threads to dig up links to posts that everyone should have already read up to this point. It isn't even that difficult to have read the previous threads (and being the kind of person that rushes straight from the comic page to the forum to post without reading what was said prior to their post pretty much deserves to get called out on it), is it?
--- Quote ---You might want to work on that.
Based on what I know of you though, you probably won't.

I'll start working on sourcing my references to previous threads when people start making it clear that they haven't read the discussions up to whatever the current point is and ask for some sort of summary relative to their perception of things. Otherwise, if they aren't going to put forth the effort, they kind of deserve the frustration of not knowing where my posts are coming from (they all work and make perfect sense if you use the correct context of "wait, did we discuss this within the last few days on these very forums? Woah!").
Mustakyy:
Hooo-boy.. :-o :-o :-o :-o
Somehow I get the feeling that this will end tears.. Seems that we've seen fair share of comedy lately (Good times with Faye and Angus, the introduction of TSB and its employees, brotimes with Steve)and another session of teh drama is due.
Zwiebel, quite nice (and accurate, imho) first post. *applaud*

--- Quote from: Miakaru on 14 Mar 2011, 10:03 ---1802-1818: Day after break up, Therapy call
1819-1837: Martin's Mom Visit
1838-1855: Day After Visit
1856-1874: Random Day
1875-current: Next Day, first day of therapy
I'd say it's been a week since the breakup, tops. The first three days are all linked, and the later two are. 1865, Padma recognizes Martin, but doesn't know his name. He also doesn't know her name, so I while he's been to SB a few times, I doubt more than 2-3.

You may want to review those strips again, many pages were spent in the WCDT threads for them talking about the various instances of "time gaps" in them.
It has been at least a month, if not longer.
--- End quote ---
Yes, god forbid I don't read the forums everyday and just when something interesting happen in the strip I'm curious to other peoples opinions on. However, Somebody did point to a strip saying it had been "weeks" since the breakup.
One of my main points was the therapy call/visit. From past experiences, I don't think it would take longer than a month from the time of her call to her first visit. 2-3 weeks even seems like large amount of time.
Also, as a general thought, is it not common curtsy to give half the time of a friends relationship before even asking their opinion on your asking them out?
Kugai:
Hoooooo boy
This will either end in a Commitment Ceremony or a trip to Davy Jones' Locker.

Curtsying isn't very popular these days. We'd probably get along better if people would curtsy more. Specifically, I haven't heard of a rule that says you must curtsy to a friend with a lost relationship before going after their ex for a specific period of time, just an undefinable 'until the hurt goes away'. Methinks everyone views the proper curtsy for that situation differently, and all the arguing on a comic forum thread in the word isn't going to change their gut instinct.
