Chicken Suits for the Droll
Guruchaz | Sunday, January 21, 2001 - 02:11 am  <wakes up thinking he smells a dawn BBQ> I took some time away on Sat, the 20th, for various reasons. One, to recharge and reassess some thoughts. Two, I had other things I needed to get done. _______________ Now I'm back, so line up because I'm about to give everyone a free shot at me without baiting, testing, or retaliation. Ok, maybe a little testing. I pose two questions to you. Don't assume anything. What qualities do you find favorable with me and why? What qualities do you find unfavorable and why? With the exception of maybe New and Joni, the rest of you have been around long enough to assess me I'm fairly sure. <going back to bed> |
Guruchaz | Sunday, January 21, 2001 - 02:13 am  (Digi, I must be sleepwalking. Could you move this to the Discussion area please? Thanks.) |
Misslibra | Sunday, January 21, 2001 - 02:32 am  Guru you still up ? |
Misslibra | Sunday, January 21, 2001 - 03:22 am  I guess you went back to bed ... Guru asked ... What qualities do you find favorable with me and why? What qualities do you find unfavorable and why? Guru, you know I don't have a problem with you. Even though we argued like cats and dogs during the election. Our debates were fun at times. And besides nothing else was going on at the time, so it made since to me to discuss who the next leader of the free world would be. Whats more important then that ? Even though some people got tired of the whole political debates. In fact I have sometimes found myself trying to defend you when others are in your case. Not that you needed me to defend you. Your quite capable of handling that job yourself. Who knows those same people may have start disliking me for that reason. I think you are very misunderstood is all. But I can feel where your coming from when you say some of the things you say. |
Azriel | Sunday, January 21, 2001 - 07:15 am  Guru, I like that you will voice your opinion even if it's not the popular opinion. I like it that you will admit when you are wrong and apologize. I like your humor (most of the time ) I don't like it sometimes when you take things to the edge. I think you push people that don't understand you and take you too seriously just a little too hard sometimes. |
Guruchaz | Sunday, January 21, 2001 - 11:23 am  Thanks for your input, you two. I certainly hope the others don't feel like they're being put on the spot. I'm lined up in front of the firing squad. Go for it. |
Merlin | Sunday, January 21, 2001 - 11:35 am  Hang on guru. As soon as I complete my assignments from the interrogator, I will have some input. How could anyone pass up this opportunity? |
Azriel | Sunday, January 21, 2001 - 11:41 am  Uh oh! It could get brutal in here, Gu. Don your asbestos underwear! |
Guruchaz | Sunday, January 21, 2001 - 11:44 am  I'm not donning anything but thanks for the concern. |
Elitist | Sunday, January 21, 2001 - 12:32 pm  Your not donning anything causes me concern. |
Guruchaz | Sunday, January 21, 2001 - 12:40 pm  As well it should.  |
Elitist | Sunday, January 21, 2001 - 12:47 pm  Unfavorable? On the board and chat, especially prior to the game, you can be irritating as hell, persistent and obnoxius, you can beat a point to death, you evade real issues, and you love to bait. If guns worked through the internet I would have taken a few shots at you for the Flame Warrior thread and how it went all over the board, and for those annoying ascii floods you hit us with in chat, over and over again. Favorable? You are intelligent, funny, unafraid to speak your mind, and have a sarcastic wit that I really appreciate. But what I really like is that one time you and I ended up in chat by ourselves on the outside, and we had a really good conversation uncluttered by bullshit, and there was a lot of depth there that I hadn't seen before. Ever since that time I have had a special place for you in my heart . And the fact that you were such a staunch Bush supporter. Oh and that you are really my son. |
Merlin | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 06:45 pm  Unfavorable: It appeared on the other side that you had a point of view, it was right, and no other point of view could be right. Your use of sarcasm and baiting went beyond a point that would result in a manner of degrading the person you were talking to. Favorable: Obvious intelligence, accurate perception of people, lack of fear to speak your mind. Integrity. Sincerity. Your apology to NewAmMush is an example of this. You could have chosen to leave an apology somewhere on the board with his name on it for NewAmUsh to read and just be on your merry way. Instead you came into chat , all players present, all viewers listening, and admitted you had taken it to far. Maybe it was the ashamed look on your face? |
Guruchaz | Monday, January 22, 2001 - 07:29 pm  I appreciate your thoughts, E & M. |
Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 08:10 am  Have been meaning to get in here, Gu. Favorable - you are damn funny a lot of the time. In here, you have oftentimes been the voice of reason and moderation. Unfavorable - Outside on the boards, I often suspected you were a 12 year old boy, lacking all the impulse control so typical of that age. Early on, in here, I had a theory - you really were a 12 year old boy who got his parents engagement picture out of the living room and scanned it in as your own in order to play the game. Your father came along and caught you, and has since been playing the game as you. So, that would make Elitist not your father. Well, then, that would make you your own father... and then Merlin couldn't be your other father... Uh oh, Juju is getting confused again.

Guruchaz | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 10:11 am  LOL! Emotional retardation is a terrible thing. I'm glad that's not your final assessment. |
