Avinashv,
Get used to having your name misspelled. Seriously. Just one question:
Are you saying here that when you posted that everyone had voted you were aware not everyone had? If so why didn’t you say, perhaps, that “Now that everyone had weighed in” or something which would have communicated the same desire to move on without misrepresenting, even innocently, the actual events in thread?Avinashv wrote:The Jester: I was being mildly sarcastic: of course not everybody had voted for everybody else, but the sooner the joke votes get over with the sooner D1 can end. Don't patronize me, don't call me a liar, and let this damn thing go.
The Jester,
I certainly don’t believe you were trying to be inoffensive or trying to fly under the radar, given your posts, but I am a bit curious about this:
The Jester wrote:@avinashv: I don't believe "everyone" has "voted" for everyone else yet. So you're giving false information.
Later, defending yourself you first post this:
The Jester wrote:How was I overreacting? You said everyone voted, and wasn't true; therefore false information. If I instead said something like, "Oh my god, he lied, lynch him! BANDWAGON NOW!" That would be overreacting. Please show me where I was overreacting before giving more empty information.
Then you post this:
The reason I find the above a bit curious is that in your first post you say “you're giving false information.”, which although not actually calling Avinashv a liar is certainly putting a particular spin on what, at that time, could certainly have been an innocent misstatement. You then point out you didn’t say something like: "Oh my god, he lied, lynch him!” which with the addition of calling for a lynch isn’t quite a denial of having called him a liar, but certainly seems to be shading. You then post: “Avin said I overreacted for saying he was lying?” which would seem to indicate that you were calling him a liar, as opposed to someone who had just made a mistake.The Jester wrote:Avin said I overreacted for saying he was lying? It was a statement, not a "Oh my god, what the hell have you done?" I said, no not everyone has voted. Being technical, does not make someone defensive.
So a couple of questions:
Did you believe Avinashv was lying when you made your first post in response to him?
If so, why did you believe he was lying instead of simply mistaken?
If not was there a particular reason you posted so aggressively in response to what Avinashv had posted?
Thank you for your answers (when you return).
