Have you told another TypologyCl member they're useless, meaningless or unpopular?

[Athenian200]

No, but I've told them that their ideas are useless and meaningless. That's not the same thing, though... is it?

Then again, further questions arise. What benefit could someone receive from this kind of a treatment that has no good intentions associatied with it whatsoever?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not really out to uphold my sense of pride to the extreme or anything, but I have to speak my mind sometimes. That's beneficial in and of itself. If you don't see that, then whatever. If you mean beneficial to others, in one case, I had to hear other people's frustrations with a person in PM. It wasn't that they needed help really.. But I had to add to the mix. I don't think this necessarily accomplishes things all the time.. it's not like people are going to change if you tell them off. I still don't care. What am I supposed to do? Be all Buddha like and understanding of everyone's sides and getting along all of the time. Why? I'm not a Buddhist.

That fits both the definition of war via proxy, and "having things fight, not persons".

In any case, I'm disappointed that a simple categorization didn't solve the underlying question.

With TG's A-D, those seem live a deserving case of talkboard wrath.

You haven't truly lived if you haven't.

 

[Ghost of the dead horse]

^^ KDude, I think that's it. Not all communication is really meant for the recipient.

 

[Amargith]

Yes, but they know how to take it, coming from me.

"I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I would look up into your lifeless eyes and wave like this. Can you and your associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?"

An awesome Bab 5 quote as well, though I fail to see the relevance

 

[wolfy]

No. If someone is useless, meaningless or unpopular there isn't much use in telling them.

 

[JocktheMotie]

I've made one of them useless. I don't know if that counts.

 

[lunalum]

I haven't told any member that they are useless or meaningless because I haven't encountered a member who is either of the two.

I haven't told a member that they were unpopular because there has been no need for me to tell an unpopular member that.

 

[Such Irony]

I've told myself that. Does that count?

 

[lunalum]

No, that wouldn't count as another member

But even if you haven't gone viral like some of the members here, you are still very useful and with lots of awesome meanings.

There's another thread which looks like its going to be fulfilling this one.

not today, but the day is young. can i get a volunteer?

 

[rav3n]

Everyone has a use!

 

[Arclight]

I don't think I have ever stated so in public.. I have privately wondered about a few people's actual value as far as existing goes.. But That's not for me to decide .. I mean even if, I can't find one endearing quality about someone.. They are still Bio-Degradable.

 

[Orangey]

Useless, meaningless, or unpopular? What kind of insults are those? Of course I wouldn't say anything that lame (though I have called statements meaningless...just not members.)

If anything, it was a derail.
