My first modem was a ....

<SketchCow> Tierra, was it you who posted the thing about me in a web forum about not being quiet?
<tierra|h> SketchCow, ?
<SketchCow> A tierra did, how many tierras could there be.
<tierra|h> what forums?
<SketchCow> http://www.linode.com/forums/archive/o_ ... _.....html
<dataw0lf> yup it was him
<SketchCow> Was wondering.
<tierra|h> I said "quite" not "quiet"
<tierra|h> and yeah, that's me
<SketchCow> I can't imagine how he managed to get so much filmed when the times I've seen him in person, he always has some story to tell. I've sat and listened to him go on about his old band and a number of other things for probably 3 hours while the waiters kept giving us weird looks because we had a lot to talk about and didn't see any reason we had to leave. Don't get me wrong, it's all really interesting and really funny stories, but I can't imagine how everyone
<tierra|h> yeah, that was me
<dataw0lf> ooh, that hurt.
<SketchCow> Short answer: It's called appropriate time and place
<eco|w> Sue him for defamation!
<eco|w> That's what you get for plugin' him.
<tierra|h> I don't see how what I said was bad though
<eco|w> Oh...it was
<eco|w> Believe me.

<SketchCow> Let's phrase it this way.
<SketchCow> The gist of the message can be read as "How did Jason actually film anyone talking, he never shuts up and how could the subjects get a word in edgewise."
<SketchCow> And the answer is, of course, "Jason knew there was a time and place for talking, and during interviews he had travelled hundreds or thousands of miles to conduct, was not one of them."
<tierra|h> but no one said that... it wasn't like I was supporting someone's comment that you "never let the interviewee get a word in edgewise"... but if that's the way you feel, I'll be careful to stop and think about how you would take what I would say in the future...
<dataw0lf> heh.
<SketchCow> " Don't get me wrong, it's all really interesting and really funny stories, but I can't imagine how everyone he interviewed managed to get in what they wanted to say."
<SketchCow> How the **** else am I supposed to take that?
<SketchCow> It's not a matter of "I didn't know how you would take that."
<SketchCow> What it came down to was "I didn't know Jason would ever find that and read it."
<dataw0lf> or, a matter of, 'it's his ****ing opinion, and if you're insecure enough to take it personally... '
<tierra|h> I personally felt the need to express the fact that you are a very interesting person with a lot of good stories to tell... which I viewed to be the main point of what I was saying, and ending it with a little humor... jesus christ.. **** if I say another word about you again... I don't see anyone in the thread afterwards saying anything as if they took it that way... I think your the only one who did
<SketchCow> OK, first of all, dataw0lf, you're a speed bump.
<tierra|h> Your taking this way too far SketchCow
<optikal> i honestly dont see how you are taken such offense by it.. just take it with a wiff and move on.. he obviously didnt intended to directly offend you, and as dataw0lf said.. its his opinion
<dataw0lf> a speed bump eh? haha.
<optikal> i like speed bumps
<SketchCow> Yeah, a speed bump.
<SketchCow> You know.
<SketchCow> A thing that lies in the road and does **** all.
<dataw0lf> I do **** alot, but not 'all'.
<SketchCow> Except slow down people trying to go somewhere.
<SketchCow> You know. A waste. A useless lump of flesh. A killfile tester.
<optikal> wow.. you obviously dont even know dataw0lf
<dataw0lf> haha, I could take this on a 'flaming' level, but I won't.
<optikal> lol
<dataw0lf> However, taking something personal that somebody says on the internet about you expresses enough.

Wow.

He sure takes it personally, doesn't he? :/
