Clifton Wood's Journal: Sometimes, Even I am Human

...and as such, I do have feelings. When people accuse me of things, I am compelled to respond, and this can put me in a bad light. Today I was reading this thread and in particular this comment when I notice the users sig: "Grow up, Cliff". Now me, being the curious sort that I am, click on the link and end up at this journal entry.

Now, being the crazy sort of chap that I am, I say to myself: "Ack! Did I do something to piss this poor fellow off?". I don't remember doing so, I usually try hard NOT to do so. So I check.

No. I didn't.

Now I go and do something utterly excusable.

I talk back.

So I'd like to apologize to fm6, for having the bad sense to respond to an attack. I usually have a better head on my shoulders, but it's 4pm and I'm just waking up after a long Friday (want details? Maybe I'll write a journal on it. Of course long time fans of mine know how likely that is...) -- the world is still spinning. I'm going back to bed, now.

Human?

OK, either you're missing something, or I am. First I questioned your choice of "Ask Slashdot" stories. (You have to admit lots of people are doing that.) Then I got two absurd "offtopic" mods. (I say "absurd" and not "unfair"; I don't view moderations as a contest.) Then I commented on your apparent connection with all three posts. Your response was to deny that you ever misused your IMPs. Which denial I just officially accepted [slashdot.org].

So what's this "I'm human" stuff? What response are you talking about?

You read it. You responded to it. You may not have thought it overly harsh, but you only read the revised version (there were quite a few that were never posted).

Ah, the life of dueling Journals.
