Considering human nature? I find that most people contradict themselves a lot more often than they realize. Especially given enough time passing.

And, as I can also see, I am the OP of this thread, so I feel entitled to comment on it. You wanna know why? VVVVVVVVV

Yeah but that would chalk up to different conditions and a change of opinions more than an individual actually being a hypocrite. (edit: ) Which I assume is the point you were trying to make, but you were also trying to make the point that anyone can sound like a hypocrite given a contextual bastardization, and I was refuting that point as being contextomy rather than hypocrisy.

To be honest, I don't have anything against Lea's stance (I'd probably say the contrary if I was grouped amongst the people the he/she does have a problem with, only because I'd love to reciprocate the hate), he/she seems to want something, goes for it, and in the mean time provides me with humor.

Good sir, that was kind of my point

I had an edit in there, too, you know!

Especially with all the blue double arrows. Jeeze now I'm just being vague.

CN is dead? I used to be a member there, but haven't logged to my account in a long time. What happened to it?..
I used to be a member of PTN also, but my account was disabled because of inactivity. (Though I wasn't really that inactive). I dunno if I wanna become a member of PTN again...

HAHA! In before teh edit! My point was primarily that words, out of context, carry virtually no weight with me. That's why I actually bother to read peoples post history, so as to get as full a view of that person as possible in this limited setting. I actively look for those changes of opinion and such, so as to not take peoples recent words out of context, as that is very easy to do. I also try reeeeeeealllllllly hard to not hold people's interpersonal clashes against them, as there is no fair way to judge someone by their interactions with one person, ESPECIALLY on the internet, though I will grant that sometimes it is entirely possible to do so rightly, if not fairly. If everyone judged me by my attitude and rancorous oratory towards pokerpays/jws/theplay/etc/etc/etc, I'd probably be considered quite a dick, but I'm not normally like that, so that tempestuousness is not considered my median behavior. At least to people that are familiar with my normal posting style.

On a side note, but I am wondering if some people are unfamiliar with the turn of phrase "make them out to be"? It means, by my usage, falsely imply through misrepresentation of facts out of context. Just for clarity's sake.

**Quarterquack** · 12-17-2010, 08:51 PM

The phrase, in my usage is usually made out to be a reference to drawing conclusions. For example, you make jwsis out to be a terrible person, sometimes. Not necessarily a false sentence, but I'm emphasizing the fact that that's the conclusion I've drawn. Regardless of whether it's contextual based or not. The phrase holds no grounds with me by virtue of accountability.

On the other hand, as for the rest of your post, I agree with you entirely. Individuals should be judged on the sum of their parts, as you would in real life, as well. The internet seems to be a solid barrier in the way of that specific mentality.
