Taking back our words? Started by: Sam_Carollo on Aug 12, '10 08:20

Like I said, you're making up your own definitions.  Do I need to dig out Webster again and define "comtemptuous" for you?  I'm done with you.  At this point you are doing nothing more than making yourself look like a fool.  I'm sure there are many folks out there at the moment snickering at your fruitless attempts to justify your argument and reasoning.

You might call my original post resentful, but hardly contempt.

I apologise but my i see my reply as valid. It is also one i wholeheartedly back both in character and as a person.

I don't see there where it says anything about the intended target being of a lower status.

On the other hand, I think "disdain" fits the bill perfectly.  Maybe you should look that up, also, seeing as you're having trouble with your vocabulary today.

Well you think Websters is the end all so there you have it. Are you kidding with the disdain thing? That implies inferior all by itself. You jumped to the assistance of a admitted troll and since then you have interpreted what you read how you saw fit. The answer I wanted, if I wanted one, was finally given by  the only person my post could have possibly been directed at. He didnt seem to read all that much scorn, disdain and contempt into my words. As for how I go about asking something or making my points, I will continue with my ways, they have served me well until now.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but you are wrong again.  "Disdain" in no way implies that the subject of your disdain is inferior in fact.  There may likely be a perceived inferiority from he who disdains, but that is completely subjective.  I may hold disdain for the President of the United States, for example.

I'm just going to throw this out there for you.  Do you think it is at all possible that you are wrong?  Now would be a good time to admit it.  You've gotten to the point where your argument is that Webster's dictionary is not the "end all" of word definitions.  If you want to continue with your argument, go ahead.  By all means, you are right and the standard accepted definitions are wrong.  (sarcasm, btw).

Have you ever heard the phrases "Pissing into the wind" or "Ice skating uphill"?  That is what you are doing at the moment.  I proved my point, and you are left arguing that Webster's is wrong.  Do you think it is at all possible that I know what I'm talking about?  I didn't get to where I am today by struggling with high school vocabulary words.

Heh, you know, disdain would mean that I hold the admins as inferior. Saying it, implies that I think they are inferior, and that my post somehow implied that. My post might have implied a lot of things but that was not one of them. Disdain would be the holders view in any case, who ever implied it had to be fact? No one. Now you could say I held some disdain for Dr Scrote, but then that wouldn't fit in with the previous big deal about hiding behind words to avoid admin backlash. I'm glad you are where you are today, I can only imagine just how great your RL must be with the time you spend in here. Now that might have been sarcasm.

"...disdain would mean that I hold the admins as inferior. Saying it, implies that I think they are inferior, and that my post somehow implied that."

Wrong again.  You can have disdain (or contempt) for someone without feeling superior to them.

Report Post Tip

Oh, okay its all clear to me now. I would like apologise to all the admins I hold in such disdain, maybe you could all try harder to please me in the future. I had no idea that my resentment to the deletion of his original post was actually contempt, and even disdain, for your hard work. Boy I feel so much better now, like a huge weight is off my shoulders. Thanks Fakey! <em>sigh</em>
