You are projecting an image on fringey that she has not confirmed. You think she is ugly and can't hold her own (like you think you can) in real life in a social setting. But she has never implied that she was some beauty queen who is the most popular girl at the bar. So, why do you take such satisfaction in pointing out that she's not?

If you're going to attack, you should use what she gives you. She attacks you on the substance of your posts. You don't. You make something up in your head and attack that again and again. It's very ineffective, even though I'm sure you think everyone mainly knows you're mostly correct.

Now, I'm not saying fringey isn't nuts. Hell, her arguments last night made no sense. Yez, she started it with you and then didn't want to follow it up. But she was arguing about what you posted and you were arguing about who you think she is in real life. You guys aren't even in the same area code when you're arguing. No wonder she gives up.

The whole thing is stupid.

TM,

True, but I owe an explanation. This will come off as obscenely arrogant, but its the only way I can explain myself...

I can't stand Fringey for the same reason she can't stand me - we both recognize though our words that we are diamtrical opposite personalities. She calls me odious and replusive because I enflame her sensibilities. However, she hides her sensibilities. I decided to explore those sensibilities. IRL, I can back up every crazy thing I say. If you don't believe that, ask AdL, who knows me very well. I think Fringey doesn't like me not because of what I say but because she recognizes me as an obnoxious cavalier asshole... I represent something she doesn't like, otherwise, she wouldn't go out of her way to come after me. So I called her out. I let her know my suspicions for good or ill, and that I suspect that if we had the same disagreement in real life, she'd turn tail and hide.

In sum, she's a tiger in her papers but I suspect she's a kitten in the flesh, and I don't endure that sort of thing. Its actually quite wierd that I even argue on these boards, since IRL, I usually refuse to decide anything on the papers and demand oral argument. Fringey strikes me as one of those angry kids who writes me nasty-grams and vitriolic motions, but collapses like a scared little shit in open court when I drag her screaming to argument. I endure her sort all day in my job and I'll be damned if I won't call her out here.

S(If the image of Fringey I projected is wrong, I'll pull a Tucker Carlson and eat my keyboard... note that she never argued with my description of her)D
