“It’s not how long you were here , so please don’t throw up the sign in date -it means NOTHING!”
Take it as a compliment. Comparing sign-in dates is FR-ese for “I am losing the argument”.
Actually, if you read the entire string of posts between us, this individual very condescendingly and presumptiously tried to tell me what the site, FR, is all about. I simply let him know that I have been here 14 years and understand pretty well what the site is about...which would be obvious to anyone who took a moment to look.
He did not, so I let him know. Nothing wrong or losing in that.
He then threw another tantrum when I pointed it out. Rather than saying, “Oh, excuse me, I see you have been on here a long time and probably know what FR is about...we just disagree on this particular issue,” which I would have been fine with and would have allowed us a better position to rationally and reasonably discuss the other difference.
Instead he took the other course, which I responded to in such a way that he would be aware of experience here...which has no bearing on the other issue. No conceeding defeat or giving in in that, just a straight forward post about the particular issue of understanding what FR is about.
Read the whole exchange if you are inclined. Or not.
