Yeah <<< Sure, I've posted this before, but this thread is now a joke anyway, so I'll throw it in here once again for maximum comedic effect since I'm on Wellfed's ignore list anyway.

How do you excercise such discipline?
It comes from experience. This is not the first time KRAMER and I have exchanged words.

I posed a question to KRAMER that he wasn't sure of the answer to, so he asked Randi for confirmation. Randi dressed KRAMER down for asking, so KRAMER felt it necessary to dress me down for asking as well.

His flame - not "admonishment" - about my lack of reading comprehension takes on a whole new perspective when you realize that a similar "admonishment" went on between Randi and KRAMER beforehand.

I have to admit that I do wonder who on these forums he thought would reject his clarification...
 
Sorry, Beleth

I'm hoping that you might accept an apology from me on this issue (for the nasty tone I employed in my response), and that we can surrey forth on better terms.

That said, you DID come forward with something more like an accusation than a question. Wouldn't you admit that?

Wouldn't you also admit that you basically stated that Randi was lying? And wouldn't you be understanding of how that might make me upset?

I have promised elsewhere in the forums that I would refrain from posting when angry, and I shall hold myself to that, but I do believe that you were calling Randi a liar. Please correct me if I am mistaken, or if that is not what you meant when you said what you said.

Also, I was not "unsure of the answer" to your question. I was entirely sure, and that prompted my response. I am the Challenge guy. Tell me that you're not seriously suggesting that I was unaware of just how many applicants passed the preliminary test.

The only thing I was unsure of was how Randi would explain that sentence in FLIM-FLAM, not recalling that it was written before the Challenge became official, back when it was more informal, and for much less money.

Again, I apologize for suggesting that you couldn't read. That was quite unneccesary.
 
Thank you, KRAMER.

I was couching the terms of yesterday in the definitions of today and came to an erroneous conclusion. "Passing the preliminary" means something entirely different today than it did when FLIM-FLAM! was written, and there was no way for me to know that before I asked about it.

It's like when I describe my grandmother as a computer. When she was in the work force, a computer was defined as "a person who computes", and that's what she was. The meaning of that word is different now, and so it's easy to get a humorous mental image.

I have learned from experience that there is no way to ask a question on the Internet without the possibility of someone interpreting it as an accusation. I have asked questions (on other boards) in the politest terms, surrounded by glowing praise for the abilities and honor of the person I was asking the question of, and it still got misinterpreted as being an accusation to promote some "agenda" I supposedly had. So I basically don't waste time stepping on eggshells any more. Especially when the person I'm asking has said that they are laughing so hard at me that they won't be able to sleep at night.

Likewise with calling Randi a "liar". He said one thing in FLIM-FLAM! that, using the terminology of today, was at odds with what he was saying today. It's impossible for me to phrase that in such a way that someone won't interpret it as me calling Randi a liar.

And now it's lunchtime, so I am going to cut this one short.
 
I like waffles on Saturday mornings, when I have time to make them!
 
Noooooooo!

j.j., how could you? How many pages deep did you have to go to ressurect this thread? There should be a punishment for that.
 
Edit: hahaha just noticed the LAST of the thread discussion between the applicant and randi etc.
withdrawing message!
