| Hmmm. British people tend to realise that they're being mocked, which makes them trickier yet more rewarding targets for patronising and winding up. Alexis Bove lives in London, is a bum, and smokes (her description). Here's what happened: | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| robsoned: Alexis Bove? As in Bovine; relating to cows? | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| View her profile here | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| alexisbove: no as in my last name asshole | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| robsoned: Your last name is Asshole? How unfortunate. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| alexisbove: isn't it though? | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| robsoned: Yes! What were your parents thinking? That's so sadistic. They've condemned you to a lifetime of mockery. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| alexisbove: find someone else to talk to | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| robsoned: Hmmmm..... it seems I've touched upon a sensitive issue here. Please accept my sincerest apologies. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| alexisbove: whatever... find elsewhere to chat please | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| robsoned: Your profile states that you smoke, and you're a bum, so there's not much scope for interesting conversation there anyway. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| alexisbove: probably not | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| robsoned: So really it's amazing that I've bothered to speak to you at all isn't it? | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| alexisbove: yes it is | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| robsoned: And even more amazing that I've decided to continue. I think you should be flattered. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| alexisbove: i think i should vomit | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| robsoned: Why hold back? Regurgitate that frustration away my dear, spew up that irritability if you think that will help. Purge girl, purge. Void yourself of these unsociable tendencies. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| alexisbove: ummm... how bout if i just ignore u? would you like that? i think it would much easier and less messier that way | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| robsoned: I can't imagine your ignoring me would affect me in any way, but don't you think you might perceive it as a defeat? I suspect you're frightened to lock horns with me. Or are you just frightened of people in general? I'm here to help, Alexis. Open up to me now, I can see you're in denial. Lets move in on some sort of closure on these issues. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| alexisbove: No, putting you on ignore would just be getting rid of rubbish.... | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| alexisbove: why is it you want to talk with me anyway.... after you insult me and my parents | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| robsoned: If you scroll up you'll see that I insulted neither you nor your parents. In fact you were the first to insult me by referring to me as 'asshole'. A complete overreaction to a genuine query. Check your facts please. I await your apology. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| alexisbove: i know that to try to get rid of you... then you said my parents are sadistic and then said you probably could not have a good conversation with me cause i am a bum and i like to smoke | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| robsoned: I'm not insulting you, and have nothing against bums and smokers, it's just that you don't endear yourself to jovial banter. I'm just defending myself against your completely unnecessary negative attitude. I'm finding it hard to understand why you would use a chat facility at all when you're clearly so disinclined to civilised discourse. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| alexisbove: well... i don't want to talk with you and i told you that from the get go.... take a hint | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| robsoned: Hmmmm... have you ever considered anger management therapy? Or perhaps yoga would help, or tai chi. Or maybe just an etiquette course? That would certainly help you to become less socially inept. I'm worried about you. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| alexisbove: perhaps... i shall look into it... thanks for the advice.... ciao | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| robsoned: Glad to have been of assistance. Hope you find your neutral space somewhere. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
