@Rocco_Modern:
I'm quite astounded actually. Misconstruing word FTW. I can almost guarantee JERK was being sarcastic. Which is why I replied with the pancake batter comment. It was a joke. Plain and simple. I'm perfectly capable of communicating my thoughts, feelings, and ideas, and no, I'm not young. Like, seriously, step off of it dude. Cognitive dissonance? Shit, forget the Norton Anthology I read, forget Lacan and Jakobson, Ngugi and Spivak, and all of the other theorists who built a name for themselves through their discourse and studies, I should have just come to these forums to get an education.
Of course, there comes a time to bite one's tongue and just drop trivial matters such as these, and right now is looking like one of those times.
Where to start? You see - reading is not understanding. What you've read we can effectively "forget" because despite all of it you still couldn't tell the difference between the quality in Bleach and the quality in One Piece, which is so much more telling than the names of any books you can tick off on your fingers trying to salvage the appearance of taste.
I'll make this simple.
JERK said:
You were rolling in respect now for having conceded your point thus you being slow to realize that Bleach is awful apparently doesn't matter!
This of course is sarcasm.
You say, jokingly:
"As if. I'd have better results swimming in a pool of lard and pancake batter!" …But better results with what?
What's the subject here?
Better results at being respected?
Why would swimming in butter and pancake batter make you more respectable?
If you're saying "Don't be ridiculous, I'd have better results swimming in pancake batter," one has no choice but to imply that you mean "at getting respected", because JERK is the only one who provided a subject. In no way does your joke have any meaning - there is no implied meaning by use of "lard and pancake batter" with regard to respect. They have no - by their use - inherent correlation with anything in the previous sentence but the fact that you're swimming in both of them. As presented, it just doesn't make sense.
Looking through your post history, I see plenty of other occasions where it's like you just vomited half of an alphabet soup onto a plate and rearranged them without a care to meaning - like you're playing MadLibs and just trying to fill in the lines. To give the appearance of knowing what you're talking about through verbiage.
In the middle of a conversation where not one person is NOT talking about about how "Bleach sucking is not a secret," you pipe up with "We're still talking about Bleach? Coulda fooled me." In direct response to a post that quoted you on your lack of observational skills… So yeah, yes, taking this and the rest of it into consideration I think you just have difficulty parsing words.
You're wordy, and verbose, and "misconstruing words FTW".
And not at all convincing.
