You are pretty much wrong in every way, shape, fashion, and form, but that's cool. I am sure you did your very best.

For example,
I Never my claimed, or implied, my douchebaggery was not subject to a sliding scale, you simply made that part up.
Of course, if I am being a douche, then the other person would be entitled to get upset.
If we are trading verbal, or written barbs back and forth, then they may find themselves in a position that they may be woefully unprepared to defend. This, of course, would not be my fault.

You did admit that you didn't read the thread in question.
By your own admission you are absolutely ignorant of the facts at hand, yet still took the time to render judgment on a situation that doesn't involve you, and of which you know almost nothing.

Additionally, I in absolutely no way, called him out passively.
Passively, from the root word "passive," is defined as:
pas·sive
ˈpasiv/
adjective



adjective: passive
  1. 1.
    accepting or allowing what happens or what others do, without active response or resistance.
    "the women were portrayed as passive victims"
    synonyms:submissive, acquiescent, unresisting, unassertive, compliant, pliant, obedient, docile, tractable, malleable, pliable "passive victims"



    antonyms:active, assertive
    • Chemistry
      (of a metal) made unreactive by a thin inert surface layer of oxide.
    • (of a circuit or device) containing no source of electromotive force.
    • (of radar or a satellite) receiving or reflecting radiation from a transmitter or target rather than generating its own signal.
    • relating to or denoting heating systems that make use of incident sunlight as an energy source.
  2. 2.
    Grammar
    denoting or relating to a voice of verbs in which the subject undergoes the action of the verb (e.g., they were killed as opposed to he killed them ).
nounGrammar




noun: passive; plural noun: passives
  1. 1.
    a passive form of a verb.
I did, in fact, call him out Actively.
Actively, which I am not going to define for you here, is in fact, the antonym of passively.
I congratulate you on your attempt to use large words, and use said words to make a more complicated, and valid argument.
You did fail utterly in your attempt, but I congratulate you nonetheless.
I think you JUST made his point with this post. It was a little bit on the DB side, IMO.

Ain't it great but kind of a curse too? I mean sometimes you just have to send the wrong ones away with some meanness or they just get insistent and hang around, they get their friends to yell at you thinking that will somehow make the magic happen.

I admit occasionally I do have mercy for the undesirable but I must keep that batting average respectable. You understand I'm sure.

I respectfully disagree.
Not only did he make some poorly researched points that I quite easily refuted, he didn't even bother to have the common decency to use proper grammar and syntax when forming his retort.

I heartily invite him to put on his Big Boy Pants, and try again.

24TBarker, I assume you are referring to me, my comments, and the tone with which I wrote them.

However, it was you who did, in fact, fail to specify to whom, or what, you are referring in your post.

(I am ignoring, for the moment, that your massive post count speaks volumes about your understanding of how things truly work here at C5.)

Getting back to your post, it was you who failed to specify exactly what you are trying to address.
You could have meant me, you could have meant someone else.
I can only deduce, from your use of an exclamation point, that you are very excited and hoping to be emphatic.
Perhaps your statement was literal.
Perhaps you had just discovered the latest Massengill product.
Perhaps said product finally relieved your own mother's chronic Bacterial Vaginosis, and your entire house no longer reeks like a bucket of dead trout left out in the sun.
Perhaps.
Perhaps you yourself had that not so fresh feeling, and after trying this product wanted to proclaim your profound joy from the rooftops and rafters of every building in your quaint little village.
Perhaps.
We do not know, because, as I wrote earlier, you failed to specify whome or what exactly you were referring to.

I heartily invite you to try again.

I know that feeling, but sometimes you just gotta say no.

When I think of "douche", you are not in the top 10 of my list. Now you can easily move there if you work and train hard. I mean put some dedication into it, not this peanut-gallery crap. Work man! With the right diet, the right training, commitment and dedication, you to came become the Douche at the top of everyone list.

hrpiii,
I don't know... I mean I want to believe you, but SouthPark already gave out the Biggest Douche in the Universe award to John Edwards...
Not sure if I could ever fill his shoes.

You have a goal, now get to work. To be the man, you have to beat the man.

Batter up, Who's next?
