If You Had to Move to the South (title, quality)

[CortlandGirl79]

You two need to get a room! Why don't all of you start DM'ing each other.........the rest of us would like to read w/out some of you arguing about childish things. Get a life.

Now..........where were we????? Oh yeah, if you had to move south which city would you move to?

It is objectively false that I am using such term for in a means that is : "meant to be self dignifying on your part."

It is objectively false that I am using such terms as a means of: "giving yourself license to say whatever crosses your mind regardless of how it will affect others--in short an utterly self-centered view of the universe."

Your personal opinion or what you believe is irrelevant.

Thanks for playing. Dinner reservations await.

Well considering all the rep I'm getting, apparently I am. Though I would certainly argue that such things is a habit rather than a one-time event.

I am not talking about irrational. You are. But now that you mention it? Here are your original words:

well considering I'm a Physics major with an IQ that is 4 standard deviations above the average, perhaps it should.

I don't know how this can possibly taken out of context. And no, I did not make a personal attack. There is nothing personal at all here.

Anyway, as it is, I can see you went back and edited your post. So, gimme a minute, and I will address the revised edition as well...

I would go for Greenville, SC or Asheville NC. They are vibrant cities which are close to the mountains and not too far from the ocean.

ainulinale and I are just stating what a lot of people are thinking and getting a lot of negative responses from it from the southerners on this forum. We're both getting rep for what we're saying, so there's gotta be people who agree.

It's interesting there's so much negativity in this thread, and none in the North thread.

Probably because the people that don't want to live in the North just don't post on the North thread.

I'll certainly back track for you since you are unwilling. I said this:

"I'm not quite sure what you're talking about."

You responded with:

"That doesn't surprise me at all. " (a clear insult)

I responded with:

"Well considering I'm a Physics major with an IQ that is 4 standard deviations above the average, perhaps it should."


You responded with:

"A physics major? A real live one? With an IQ FOUR standard deviations above the average? Not just three, but FOUR? Lord a mercy! If I had known THAT, I would have NEVER presumed to dispute your word on anything at all. My my. And to think I thought I was just dealing with human being who actually puts his pants on one leg at a time..."


Now, the most rational exegesis of my response is this: apparently ainulinale has taken offense at my insult and is defending his intellectual abilities by citing a reasonable source for defining such capacities.

Your response is irrational because either you meant it simply as weak mockery since you have no civil response and no substance of your retort. Or, it implies a different context all together. The context to which it implies is this: that I was using such a defense as a means for suggesting that you cannot (or have no right to) argue with me. (Remember this: If I had known THAT, I would have NEVER presumed to dispute your word on anything at all.). Either way, your post is rather irrational.

Though I thank the Southerners who gave civil responses, TexasReb, you have not. Like I said, if you can't take Northern bluntness without consuming my thread off topic posts, then I ask that you don't come here anymore.

I am still not sure where I gave a non-civil response. And equally unsure as to why you presume I "can't take" what you call "northern bluntness"? And you ask me not to come here anymore? Are you a moderator now? Forgive me if I once again laugh at your self-presumed role here...

But...recovering from laughing fit...I always try and be fair and yes, you DID start off by:

Assuming that you're from any other part of the country, which city would you chose to move and why?

I'll give you that.

HOWEVER, some northerners made this an avenue to attack the South in some insulting terms. Othewise, I think most of us would have been perfectly content to stay out of it. But in the former case, we are going to respond. Simple as that.

And your IQ thing sounded like a trumpet factory with quality control problems...
