Clever in what sense? Does it really make any difference whatsoever whether it's a primary account portraying the person's true personality or an alter facetiously putting it forward?

Should I be expected to like him more were he one day to turn around and say 'actually, those weren't my views, I was just putting on an act'? We're just on a Prince fansite. He's either someone I disagree with and dislike or someone pretending to put forward views I disagree with and dislike, and what would that be?? I guess it's just a distraction from interacting with like-minded people, and in that sense might be regarded as a useful service. Or somewhere to aim my b-sides.

An old username was fauxnewbie, which got shortened to faux. Somebody in chat called me Fauxie and I guess it just stuck.

oh for GOD'S SAKE, when did this thread become your myspace profile??!?

I used to argue and argue and argue.....now I stay very quiet. I listen to what the person has to say and then I quietly leave. It drives them nuts.

yup.
People HATE being given the cold shoulder. I don't mean the cold shoulder girls give you when you've pissed them off. I mean the cold shoulder in the sense that they think you've lost interest in what they have to say, or that you can't even be bothered by it. It drives them nuts.

You live, you learn. My ex of 8 years and I used to go at it. The more I yelled at him the quieter he got. It drove me nuts. Now I don't have the energy to argue, it makes me sleepy.

when i DO throw fits, it's typically because i'm stressed out and frustrated and i want to make myself and other people around me laugh. my tantrums are kinda like that youtube clip of joan rivers at the australian awards show.

I don't get into shouting arguments. The best way i have learned to get to the woman more is to just stop talking to her. Cut her off. The shouting and stuff just looks bad. Cut them off and that will really hurt. Just stop talking.

And so what do you do if a guy pisses you off? you seem to always talk first about if a woman does something to you...tell us about if one of your friends or co-workers piss you off..

I'm not dramatic like that. I'll tell you what I have to tell you in your face & then I'll walk out w/o words. Hopefully it'll all go calmly, it takes a lot to get me really fired up & yelling @ a mf

I find that surprising. Thought you would have been just the type.

OMG, seriously??? NO, I'm very direct/stern when I'm angry. I think I've only had a screaming match a few times in my life, and just once when I wasn't a teen

I tend to stay away from people who are overly dramatic like that, the shit gets on my nerves

You have a straight to the point humour here that's fantastic though. It's not quiet, but it is fantastic.

Thanks!
