My points above , if I introspected about them , I suppose I`m really projecting the undesirable values I see in named individuals I know and anonomysing them via a numbered list .

And I thought it would have been all one individual. Actually, on the web, I would expect an abundance of all.

^ I'd love to sit at the kitchen table over cups of tea, and just listen to you talk about anything. Especially sarcasm, that is over the internet. More specifically, how to tell if the other person is being sarcastic or not. And if they are, how do you react. Rise above it, or, give a reply.

Yeah right ...like thats going to work ;)

Good luck with that. I fail that test continuously. Comes from being terribly naive.

To me , they`re undesirable traits and I attempt to avoid discussion with people with them , its not a who-do-I-dislike-slag-off-something-about-them list and as you note , they`re not exactly rare .

How do you tell ? Just listen and have a think as to whether they are misinterpreting opinion as facts at certain points and whether their story/waffle/rant/email makes constant and consistent logical sense , bullshitters just can`t tie stuff together but usually try to use diversion techniques to cover holes , just learn to spot them . I have to do this sort of stuff for a living - it does get tiring .

^ Thanks for that! Being as gullible as possible, that might help. I think, just lately, I've started to get a clue.

So, Sartori, I just wanted to make sure to point out a couple of threads that might be of interest. There are just so many nowadays that I thought you might miss them.

Soundtracking your Sunday afternoon

The Soundtrack of your life

The second one is quite a bit of a challenge (so much so that I don't know how far I'll get), but fascinating once you start thinking about it.

^@Pet: Now that's what I missed about you. You say what's on your mind and no fucking MENDACITY.

You and another GMB user, Sartori. I secretly wish I could be that strong.

Thank you. As characters in my novels are apt to say: "The goddesses hate lies."

Perhaps I'm too old to care what people think.

Anyone who claims that he NEVER bullshits is probably being sarcastic, and your reply should be- pull the udder one.

Pet

Is 'bullshit' a verb?

KatRobin

Probably not, I made it up? Which proves my statement!! A bit like saying I've never told a single teeny weeny white fib in my life!

KatRobin

But liars I truly despise
