... Stop looking at all that. Now I'm more embarrassed. #vagueposting
Is this what "significant/y ca/mer" /ooks /ike to you, disruptor-san? I'm a/most impressed. What is the phrase around here? "Congrats, that's the worst anyone's ever done it"? That being said, was the bu/k of my response not supportive? In my own way, at /east. I was offering advice on how to achieve peace of spirit, since you seemed over/y affected by me reacting to your posts with genuine sympathy. If you interpreted me mentioning my "win" as g/oating, instead of mere/y reacting to you ca//ing me out in a// but name, that is on you. But I suppose next time I cou/d simp/y ignore your posts... Even the ones directed at myse/f... Perhaps it wou/d satisfy my Rei, my po/iteness, to do so. However, it wou/dn't satisfy my Jin. Compassion is an important bushido tenet to put into practice, you know. More than anything e/se, though... It just sounds /ike you were hatched mad. (ββ_β)β§
Starting your first comment with smug laughter feels a little far from "sympathy", so do forgive me if you set yourself up for misunderstanding and I happened to misunderstand. I am, of course, only able to see what is presented unto me. I'm no mind reader, and I certainly have no control over the way other people type. I am of course well aware that the correct thing to do here would be to leave you on read, but that strikes me as disrespectful to your "compassion" and "politeness" that you claim to be showing me. I wouldn't want to be disrespectful, now, would I?
You can interpret it as smug /aughter if you p/ease. But it is more nuanced than that. Sti//, I wi// /et you have it, as an act of grace. Perhaps I cou/d have been more c/ear in my intentions. That's on me. I take persona/ responsibi/ity when I fee/ I've erred. My MeiyΕ. And I appreciate you exercising restraint of your own, and choosing respect. An unexpected feat, from someone who reads from the deceitfu/ book of ninjutsu, instead of the honorab/e tenets of bushido... But I suppose that's reason to be proud, kheh... (ββαβ)β§
How good of you to listen to your opponent, perhaps there is some wisdom to your tenets after all. Take care not to be too swayed, however. While I, personally, wouldn't lead you astray, if you're too quick to adjust someone may manipulate you, Ronin. Don't allow yourself to fall into such a trap, no? There are plenty far trickier than myself. One of these days I am going to have to actually do some research on the ways of bushido purely to prove you wrong in your assumptions, but that day is not today so I shall simply have to say instead; Your emoticon suits you. It's a very nerdlike look.
... (ββ_β)β Feh. I cannot be harmed by your chi/dish insu/ts. I expected more from you, in our batt/e of wits. But perhaps you are not as we//-armed as I thought.
Insults? What do you mean? I think that being a nerd is rather cute, actually. Some of my favourite people are nerds. I can hardly help if you misread my tone, Ronin. What makes you think that it would be an insult? Perhaps there is some insecurity there that you may want to address.
Tch. Cute? You ought to rethink your word choice, disruptor. I am not ob/ivious to your attempts to demean me.
Demean you? What would you prefer I use, then? If you do not wish to be considered cute, how would you describe yourself? Don't say "cool". Or use the word "aura". That would make me laugh a little, I fear.
... Dou demo ii. You wou/dn't get it.
