@KitFox General help

KitFox

23:19

Argh!

We can talk about it after I put the boys to bed.

Robusto

I don't think that's necessary. You've said all that needed to be said already.

Cerberus

Hi!

Robusto

Alai.

Cerberus

@Rob Why not put her ignore?

Or mental ignore.

Robusto

Where should I put it?

Cerberus

23:26

*on

Dammit, my typing is bad enough when I'm not on my mobile!

Robusto

@Cerberus I did that, and later thought I was being rash.

See above.

Cerberus

Right.

skullpatrol

mental ignore is best

just like real life

Cerberus

You did realize that Alraxite's line was a joke to lighten up the atmosphere, right?

Robusto

Who?

Cerberus

23:29

She also mocks me when we're in a serious discussion.

It's her way.

Robusto

@Cerberus Yes, but she doesn't accuse you of forcing someone to delete his account.

Cerberus

True.

But there were other things.

Robusto

:16239759 You see no difference between peer-to-peer badinage and authority-to-member derision and mockery?

Cerberus

But mental ignore works. Try it!

Robusto

@Cerberus I'm seriously thinking of putting all this in the rearview mirror. Permanently.

skullpatrol

23:32

@Robusto of course there is a difference

Robusto

Then I don't understand the point you're trying to make.

just like real life

Cerberus

But there is enough fun to be had in this room.

skullpatrol

23:33

that^ is my piont

Robusto

This isn't real life. It's the internet.

skullpatrol

but it is "really" bugging you?

Robusto

It wouldn't bug me if I hadn't thought KitFox was a friend.

Now I see I was just being played.

skullpatrol

that was your mistake not hers

Cerberus

Let me email you.

KitFox

23:35

@skullpatrol Oh please. Don't be ridiculous.

Cerberus

I'm actually getting out of bed for this!

skullpatrol

@KitFox let's keep it real

Robusto

@Cerberus So you do get out of bed for drama injections. makes note

Cerberus

It's not drama when it's by e-mail and nice!

skullpatrol

@Robusto a playa gotta play

Cerberus

23:39

@Robusto You've got mail.

Robusto

feels bad that he dumped his AOL account

Cerberus

I thought your AOL was your main account!!

Dammit.

Robusto

Actually, I dumped my AOL account while you were in high school. Or wherever Dutch boys go during puberty.

Cerberus

To brothels, obviously.

It's called The Shift.

Robusto

What was I thinking? Of course.

Cerberus

23:42

A coming-of-age ritual.

skullpatrol

Cerberus

Haha yes!

Robusto

@Cerberus Not here yet. Did it fall in the ocean?

Cerberus

Huh?

Robusto

Ah. I'll look into it.

skullpatrol

23:45

13 mins ago, by Robusto

This isn't real life. It's the internet.

Cerberus

I guess that's probably not your mainy.

skullpatrol

The internet is a game.

Cerberus

With cats.

skullpatrol

and dogs

Cerberus

mew!

skullpatrol

23:47

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@Robusto I suspect she might not have been 100% serious when she wrote this.

Robusto

Well, water under the dam, what? (Over the bridge?) ponders I'll just chalk it up to me overestimating someone. Again.

You'd think I would learn.

skullpatrol

live and learn pal :-)

KitFox

23:50

You'd think.

skullpatrol

see^?

medica

@Robusto hi!!!

KitFox

@skullpatrol cc.com/video-clips/67hgjb/…

medica

@Robusto Am I still on ignore?

KitFox

@Robusto So you're saying you'd rather not talk about it?

medica

23:53

@skullpatrol can you see me?

skullpatrol

@KitFox passive-aggression at its finest, thank you

@medica yes

medica

@skullpatrol Hi skul

Robusto

Let's just say this: "Least said, soonest ended."

KitFox

@skullpatrol nods

medica

hey, can I ask you a question, an honest one?

KitFox

23:54

Which you?

skullpatrol

!!youtube blame it on the rain

Jarvis the Bot

KitFox

Really, don't do that.

medica

frozen for a moment.

skullpatrol

we need some one to blame

medica

23:55

@skullpatrol can I ask you an honest question?

skullpatrol

@medica sure

Cerberus

@Robusto I like this attitude.

medica

@skullpatrol Please don't get angry at me, but what's your definition of a friend?

Cerberus

An odd question...

Robusto

►

LMFTFY.

medica

23:57

@Cerberus it's not really

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@Cerberus Yeah, but "soonest ended" is one thing, but how about "soonest mended"?

Cerberus

@medica A little bit out of nowhere!

medica

@Cerberus no, it's not, not really

Cerberus

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Oh, hmm, I missed that.

looks askance

skullpatrol

@medica I don't think that a "friend" is something that can be defined

medica

23:58

I'm taking the.... well, the temperature of chat. Anyone can answer.

Cerberus

Epicurus and the ancients had a good answer.

@medica A friend is someone whose interests you have made your own.

Mitch

Wasn't that a socratic dialog?

Robusto

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Do you think my take on the trope was random, or a mistake? Have you met me?

Cerberus

Posisbly?

medica

@skullpatrol Hmm, so, honestly, you don't think there are any qualities you'd expect in someone you considered a friend?

Cerberus

23:59

@Robusto On the contrary, he pointed out your variation to me.
