It's funny because I knew your response was going to be "not everything is about you" and I thought about preempting it. But then you would have a different thing to say about it, so I just didn't say anything concerning whether it was about me or not. I also knew you'd state that it was "obvious" what Seyda had a problem with, and point to my intelligence, since you believe that I believe I'm smart.ladypeacek wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2024 5:33 am
Maybe everything isn't about you?
Those last two paragraphs, sir, were what I have issues with in the city myself. And while I believe you to be guilty of it, they weren't directly related to just you.
Also, I'm pretty disappointed reading that thread, that you can't figure out what it was that you did wrong and actually believe it has to do with the picture. I thought you were smarter than that.
But the biggest question is, why on earth do you even care so much.
This whole thing is incredibly tired, predictable, manipulation. I don't know if you're even aware you're doing it. But I will answer each thing, regardless.
1. You quoted me. It isn't weird for me to assume that what you were saying is about me. You didn't clearly delineate a point in which what you were saying was about me, and what you were saying wasn't. But even so, you're saying here that you believe I'm guilty of it, so my post still stands. It honestly looks to me that by quoting me and then having me respond and then replying with "Maybe everything isn't about you?" you were trying to bait me into responding so you could deliver that exact line. Just letting you know how it looks, I'm not assuming intent, here.
2. The order of events were: 1. Seyda shares video of her in a bush. 2. I post a picture of Nigel Thornberry, comparing one bush dwelling documentarian to another. 3. Annabelle warns me about talking about Seyda. 4. I tell her very clearly that I am not heading her warning 5. Annabelle UV grenades me. 2-5 happened within two days of each other, and I'm being generous because I don't have an exact memory of it, I would guess it was actually closer to within 16 hours of each other.
Why on earth would I assume that when Seyda says, a month or so after all of this happens, that I was hit for my sins, that Annabelle hit me for something that happened six years ago, and not something that happened less than two days before she hit me? I'm flattered that you think I'm smart, but unfortunately, I can't read peoples' minds. That's why I ask questions.
3. I don't know what you're referring ot when you say "why on earth do you even care so much". I care a lot about everything. I care a lot about you, Vex, Seyda, Lorrana, Narcisssa, Dahlia, Drew, Coldy, everyone in this city. Maybe the way I show it is weird to you, but hey, care and love are paradoxical things. They're both universal experiences, while being unique to anyone who feels them.
I'll have the rest of this conversation for us, since we've had it so many times:Vex wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2024 6:33 amThis is literally what you do. Not only do you do this, you run rampant with it. The fuck?Alex Ayres wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2024 10:47 pmpeople won't just focus on a small aspect of what you've said that's actually irrelevant to the overall point you're making
"Vex, I don't know what you mean, and I don't believe that I do that, let alone do it rampantly. Would you mind clarifying?"
"If you don't know what I mean, then you're dumber than I thought/not as smart as you think you are/any disparaging, snarky remark in which you don't clarify anything."
"Okay. Well, if you aren't going to clarify, I can't really do anything about it. So, have a lovely day, Vex."
You go away continuing to think whatever it is you think about me, I go away not knowing what you mean still.
If you ever want to break this cycle, let me know. Rather than hash it out in an Ab post, we could, for once ever, sit down, and discuss our differences, and maybe one or both of us will go away with a new found appreciation for the other's perspective. I have a suspicion I'm more likely to to appreciate yours than you are to appreciate mine, since I'm the less stubborn of the two of us (I'm just kidding).
If not, I'm happy to continue doing this for another 10 years. At this point I almost look forward to it.
