I think it is unfair that Opto is so loved here. I am jelous and I want my money back. |

once upon a time, he was despised by many. if you stick around xltronic long enough, everything about you that irritates people will seem endearing and familiar. for example, people used to think anus_presley was a pretentious twat for his "rr" quirk. now, he is univerally loved. other people teased roygbivcore relentlessly about his bizarre bacon phobia. now he too is universally loved. so just sit back and wait...the love will come... |
||||||||

That is wonderful news. But I believe love is a sign of weakness. |

how is the "rr" quirk pretentious? Pretentious \Pre*ten"tious\, a. [Cf. F. pr['e]tentieux. See Pretend.] Full of pretension; disposed to lay claim to more than is one's; presuming; assuming. Pretension \Pre*ten"sion\, n. [Cf. F. pr['e]tention. See Pretend, Tension.] 1. The act of pretending, or laying claim; the act of asserting right or title. [1913 Webster] The arrogant pretensions of Glengarry contributed to protract the discussion. --Macaulay. [1913 Webster] 2. A claim made, whether true or false; a right alleged or assumed; a holding out the appearance of possessing a certain character; as, pretensions to scholarship. [1913 Webster] This was but an invention and pretension given out by the Spaniards. --Bacon. [1913 Webster] Men indulge those opinions and practices that favor their pretensions. --L'Estrange. [1913 Webster] |

I can dislike people fo'ever. |

i didn't say it was pretentious, you goofball. i said other considered it pretentious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HOW could anyone consider it pretentious? pretention doesn't have anything to do with it. did you mean "ANNOYING" and were just trying to sound high-and-mighty? |

Definitions of pretentious on the Web: * ostentatious: intended to attract notice and impress others as in, "check it out, i'm quirky and unique and cool, i've got this double rr thing going on." note again, for god's sake note again, i did not generate this opinion, i only observed it. note also that my post is humorous; there is no guarantee of love for anyone no matter how long they stick around here.... |

Plaidzebra being relentlessly upbeat and all "Hey, let's all be friends" gets right up my arsehole. |

Definitions of pretentious on the Web: * ostentatious: ...... that's just about the funniest thing i've ever seen. good man! |

are you even reading the posts? i never said it was *my* opinion... but here's a perfect example of someone just falling over themselves to defend that very quirk. i've got nothing against carl at all, despite the fact that he strongly dislikes me. |

fuck you, you spanish spewing arse licking drunkie! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
neither do i, any more. and you don't seem to be reading your own posts! i never said it was your opinion. whether or not it was your opinion has nothing to do with my questioning your use of the word 'pretentious' when it was completely out-of-place. do you understand? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
people thought i was prretentious because i have a brroken keyboarrd. |

People thought I was pretentious because I fucking am. You bunch of shit poking fag boys. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Everyone hated me because I put down women so much... now look at me! Oh wait, everyone still hates me. |
||||||||

|

|
|
mmmmm shit poking |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

redrum, i don't understand your problem. here's the sense with which the word was used. perfectly legitimate. honestly, why would you even go so far out of your way to quibble? pretentious - intended to attract notice and impress others |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You only put down women because you go down on men. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"intended to attract notice and impress others" is a valid definition for ostentatious. ostentatious != pretentious. just because they have the same suffix doesn't make them the same word. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, d_b, you're a really sweet guy who just feels too much... god i wish i could reach down to chile and give you a big hug! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
alright pal, you hooked me with your baiting, trolling ways, now move along politely, there's a good lad.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and the reason i had this little quiff with you was that i dislike it when people use "big words", the meaning of which they don't understand, just to be... that's right, you guessed it - ostentatious. you could've avoided all of this by using words you understand, like "attention-seeking", if that's what you meant. say what you mean. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lolzy! ;D right so i'm off. it's been fun plaidzebra. oh yeah and the only other reason i wanted to quibble with you is that your electronica is quite delightful and if i can't be better than you at that, i felt like pushing your face into the muck when it comes to language. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's what I thought. Pretention is more claiming or acting as though you are above everyone else and quite obviously I am. I understand that pretention is an unjustified claim which mine isn't however I understand that most of you lack the ability to make this distinction so I make allowances for it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
where i live, using three syllable, commonly used, everyday words doesn't make one "pretentious" or necessarily "ostentatious." i'm sure next time i'll be careful to word every post to meet your petty expectations... |

I think, Plaid', the word you wanted was afectation, anyways. Behavior that is assumed rather than natural; artificiality. Which is, by that token, kind of prentious too. I think we're splidding hairs here. |
||||||||
|

splidding hairs indeed i'd never have denied that :) <-- pedant |
