Reply To: PAA's not-always-in-context Coffee Room Report Card Comments

Eftach:

To make a long story short, in the thread http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/ever-seen-a-forest-animal-die-of-old-age Randomex and I were debating whether Chuvim’s question on Writersoul was a valid question. Randomex wrote a response that was something like seven pages long (I’m probably exaggerating slightly) and I responded to him with a point-by-point rebuttal. That was around three weeks ago and Randomex had yet to respond. When I pointed this out to him, he said that he doesn’t have to respond until I respond to everything he ever said to me in the coffee room which I have not responded to. So I decided to placate him. One of the places that he mentioned which I had not responded to him was in this thread.

So now to explain what it is that I was responding to:

In the creative writing thread you said (to me) “You’re NUTS”. When I copied your comment into this thread, Randomex said:

That one’s difficult to interpret as an insult in context*, especially the way kids talk these days…

I responded that you are presumably not a kid considering that you are a teacher. Randomex then asserted that the fact that you used words such as “OMGOMGOMG” and “KKKKKKK” calls into question my assumption that you are not a kid. I had not responded to that, so today I responded by saying “Fair point about Eftach”, referring to Randomex’s assertion.

Hope this helped.
