Caffeine-addict yo!

I guess the answer to your questions, which I suppose are rhetorical so it makes me a dumb person if I answer them but in any case, I discovered a likely but not stated truth.

The favoritism (that which has manifested by the solidarity of our community of grace and intelligence) is caused - if I can claim to be in that circle of heavenly intellectuals - by our good looks. It's so simple. Now I know why these people are dying to piss me/us off. If they can't gain our attention with talent and sagacity, then they must appeal to our innate sense of beauty by perversion/desecration of that which we like.

Flooding me own blog. My apologies, me hearties.

Hm.

The way I see it, their desperation in in quest of our attention had triggered them to throw blind allegations. In all truth, I could not read KanonA's stories, I could not get to the second paragraph because her works are plain uninteresting. The circle that she was pissed off of did not exist. Even if there was, I was not a member. I read non-yaoi and flame non-yaoi. And if she was to challenge me or you, she should be equipped with the chronology of the flame war. What was being discussed, what was being argued of, clearly she did not know what happened.

A big lesson on monstrousness there. :)

Caffeine Addict, someone called me pathetic? I’m Pollux, by the way. The problem with people today is that if you contradict their flames they’d throw in something like, ‘you guys are stupid’ ‘you’re pathetic’ followed by ‘you’re insecure’ which would eventually lead to ‘get a life, you lowlife’. Insults that have no basis, that’s why they wouldn’t bother to prove that you are indeed pathetic. And honestly, I think the reason why we don’t use these insults is that they suggest insecurity and lack of rebut and sense of intellect to prove themselves right. They can just simply say ‘leave me alone’ because that conveys more meaning, it doesn’t offend anyone.


Now, if what I said to Chelating Compounds (see my review for ivybluesummers) is pathetic, Kanon A must have been implying that we should’ve let it go. This is why I didn’t let it pass: CC’s flame for ivybluesummers, from what I gather, is a proof that she was dying to get her hands on the author and it also showed everyone how stupid she was. Yes, you might have said that I went over the roof for saying too much and imposing too much sense on someone who didn’t make sense at all, my point is this: she HAS to learn from her mistake. Had we ignored her, she would’ve flamed others too with nonsensical nitpicking. And I think we all know here that knowing one’s mistake is important that’s why I gave her a lesson. Or maybe, you see your teachers as pathetic for expecting her dumb students to learn.

If you are accusing me of favoritism, Kanon A, I can simply explain myself with my adoration for ivybluesummers and night strider. And since they are two of my favorite authors, I know them very well, your point? Of course I would defend them right away if they are threatened or offended, that is, if I have enough knowledge to counter them. In CC’s case, even my 9-year old cousin could see through her error, I just made it a point that she would see to that.

If you called us pathetic because you felt bitterness in our reply to her, we would be glad to hear you out. And you said we can’t accept criticism, what CC gave to ivy was not even a criticism at all, to criticize is to judge the merits and faults of something, to analyze and evaluate, clearly, there was absolutely not a droplet of correctness in CC’s review. In short, it was a false criticism. If I found CC a very intellectual person for all she said in that flame and envied her, then that’s when I would deserve to be called pathetic. Sadly, I’m not pining to be a dingbat nor am I contesting her in inconsistency competition so I don’t see the point of being bitter when everything she said was, I’m sorry for this, stupid.

Maybe you should email me about your definition of pathetic.
