As Houllie does not see the other contributors to OLO as fully human he feels quite justified in being as insulting as he likes.

The behaviour of a psychopath unable to empathise with others.

Also I am now in regular contact with some posters here, have been for 2 years now. This is possible because I know that everyone here is human with all the feelings and faults which go with being human.

This is not the "Spanish Inquisition" ;-), but I sure feel like slapping Houllie with a dead fish (thanks Monty Python).

This is where we share thoughts, opinions and ideas and jokes too. We may not all agree, but that is the point, none of us would learn anything if we were all a bland homogeneous group. Just because a women disagrees with you does not make her a man-hater as you seem to infer.

And why do you go in for demeaning men who actually agree with some of the opinions expressed by women? You really need to reflect on that.

Hey Fractelle, Houllie might be young or something? I rang a user off my "board" once to tell them to pull their head in and how embaressing to get a 12 year olds mummy on the phone! He had put his age down as forty something.

"Also I am now in regular contact with some posters here, have been for 2 years now. This is possible because I know that everyone here is human with all the feelings and faults which go with being human."

That is very cool. And I'm not suggesting the odd cutting remark should be sucked up though - I had great fun with Col. I think I was more facinated with just how rude someone can get on a site like this.

I was quite nervous about joining OLO and read stuff for awhile before registering. I regret the delay!

I do believe that Houllie is very young indeed.... but not in years.

But hey, you are more than capable of making up your own mind - you don't have to take my word for anything. I really enjoy the perspective you bring to this forum and I really hope you do hang around because I believe you have a lot to offer here.

Cheers m'dear

Oh wow, I'm so important people have decided to faux-analyse me!

'As Houllie does not see the other contributors to OLO as fully human he feels quite justified in being as insulting as he likes.

What's more honest and desirable? A 'psychopath' who doesn't see anonymous comments on a screen as people, and takes debating points for the value of the argument and is not interested in making 'friends'.

Or... A woman who does see posters as people BUT insults them with intent to hurt what she sees as a real person, but still sees herself as 'nice', ignores posters' points if she doesn't 'like' the poster, and is obsessed with the gender of the posters that disagree with her.

'Just because a women disagrees with you does not make her a man-hater as you seem to infer.'

No I don't infer. I infer a woman who sees all men as base sexual beasts who judge women on looks alone as a man hater. Or a woman who is obsessed with the gender of people who disagree with her, and even thinks that people could only possibly disagree with her 'friends' because they have a problem with said friends agreeing with people of her own gender!

'And why do you go in for demeaning men who actually agree with some of the opinions expressed by women? You really need to reflect on that.'

I don't really need to do anything. That's your screwed up view of the world. I didn't 'demean' examinator anyway. I cringed at a sad attempt at flirting. The neediness of it all. That you pass your skewed judgement on who and why and how I relate to other posters and relate everything back to gender says a lot more about you.

Jewely,

I cant believe that word got through either. But I cant take credit for the word, I'm merely quoting Fractelle.

H,
You come across like a child with floaties on their arms wanting to play in the big pool before you know how to swim properly.
You'd be wise to watch and learn. Your assumptions are well immature.

Written word has nuances as well as the spoken. Yet when the words are clear and precise you insist on proving your abilities beyond a doubt,
By trying to be clever with your monochromatic perception.

The very transparent nature of my comment signaled not flirting but good natured mutuality.
The eat it up both insulted all of us (if we had taken you seriously or cared what you thought on that topic.) and embarrassed your self you alienated yourself. I would sincerely advise that being negative all the time with the women on this site only reminds them of the six year old boy who bullied them in primary school because he couldn't relate any other way. Wit needs compassion not negativity to be accepted by intelligent people. Negativity simply draws more negativity around them. Stick to the topic is a good start..

Dear TRTL,

My heart goes out to you regarding your grandmother.
But you had no way of knowing she was going to die.
I'm sure wherever she is, she knows you've read her
thesis.

Dear Jewely,

Some things are out of our control.
I'm so sorry about your little girl.
But you did what you could.

Dear Pericles,

I'm happy for you, that you're able to
not regret anything in your life.
Your life's path must be made of conrete,
not quicksand - like some of ours at times.

Dear examinator,

Wow, what a gentleman (and a charmer).
I'm almost jealous having to share you with all the
other ladies!
You've certainly led an interesting life!
Even Houellebecq is envious - and feels the need to
snipe (poor thing!).

Dear Ginxy,

You put a lump in my throat and tears in my
eyes. Thank you for sharing!

Dear CJ,

I'm glad that you're happy now. It sounds
Like you've got everything you want.
You're partner is a lucky lady!

Last but not least:

Dear Houellebecq,

So, you can resist all women by the sound of it?

I bet you wouldn't have been able to
resist me. Unless of course you wouldn't have
found a tall, (five feet, 10 inches) lass, with a
mane of thick, wavy, red hair, almond-shaped
hazel eyes, killer cheek bones, a peaches and cream
complexion, with a slender build, extremely long legs,
small hips, an appetizing cleavage, an infectious smile
with a dimple in her cheek, who was quick to blush,
flirted outrageously with both sexes, while still
retaining her ladylike demeanor at all attractive?
A girl who had a sensuality, yet vulnerability about
her - and one who was shy and humble as well.
