I don't think you're a stupid person at all.  I do think you're angry about something else and "acting out."

I don't think you're a stupid person at all.  I do think you're angry about something else and "acting out."

You know, it's funny. Despite all the times I have pointed out where you have been rude to me, you still think that my actions do not reflect you at all. You think that this is just some silly way for me to vent my anger. The only thing I'm angry about is the fact that you seem to be ignoring everything I'm saying. I'm also a bit confused as to why you continued to throw petty insults at me when asking me to treat you with some respect. Even now, you are still assuming something about me and saying that I'm "acting out." I've had people comment that they don't know why you are acting this way, so apparently I'm not the one "acting out." What you're doing is called "cognitive dissonance." It's what happens when you hear something you don't like, so you either change your opinion about it (which you have not done), or you just shrug it off as the other person's personal problem (which is exactly what you have done in this quote). The funny thing is that this was never an attack towards you or your site, so there's no need for cognitive dissonance in the first place.

I think that could be the issue: this is a project that's very near and dear to your heart, so any comment against what you see as a good, beneficial, or perfectly fine thing is being taken as an attack not only against your hard work (which I do acknowledge and appreciate) but as you as an individual. It is an attack against neither…it isn't an attack at all. If, after all this, you still see it this way, and if after I tell you not to assume things about me you still do, then I can't help that and will simply stop responding because no amount of logic and quoting your hypocrisies will convince you otherwise.

But you know what? You answered my secondary, and previously unmentioned, question, which was "Would Lingster remove the ads?" The answer is no, and since an answer was all I was looking for, for or against my opinion, then I'm satisfied. I'm more than happy to let this board die because now it's 100% unnecessary.

Excellent.  Thread closed.
