Change of tactics!

Please note: no, Paul, this is not about you! OK?

I have been posting on MyT for almost two years and I’ve just realised that I am suffering from a tremendous handicap; the shameful ability to see both sides of the question. Furthermore, and I hate to admit it, I am just too freaking polite for words.
Well, I do maybe, according to some, have an appalling tendency to lapse into over-egged irony, which can give rise to some interesting misinterpretations. I can also be “patronising”: hey, I got something right then!

No more, however, I am fighting back. Henceforth, I will take offence at each and every opportunity, sulk for days if I am wilfully accused of anything to which I decide to take exception and ……… I shall shout, rave and throw hissy fits. You cannot stop me, I just won’t listen. I’m a very very angry bunny mouse. So watch out!

You, dear Readers, here, will be exempt from this; but if we are to have our accounts deleted from MyT, we may as well go out with a bang and not a whimper!

  7. Araminta, my good woman.

    With the utmost respect, I do not believe that you have done sufficient research or, indeed, have the necessary intellectual rigour to be any good at what you are proposing to do.

    I pride myself, however, on having consistently been the most contentious and stroppy blogger on MyT in my time and I am magnanimously prepared to help you to realise your goal.

    Lesson 1. DON’T FORGET TO USE CAPITALS OR TO REPEAT YOURSELF AGAIN AND AGAIN. SO, DON’T FORGET TO USE CAPITALS!!!!!! AND EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!! AND CAPITALS.

  8. Mr Mackie, my dear sir, WHAT!!! “Utmost respect”, what an insult! HOW VERY DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME IN THOSE TONES!!!!!!! TONES . Ahem, thank you so much for your kind offer of tutelage, I could not wish for a better role model 🙂 NOW, stop wasting my time with your patronising offer and this conversation is TERMINATED. END!!!!!!

    How am I doing ? :)-

  13. Hello Nym: no, I probably cannot, and you are very kind. It’s just a bit of a reaction to some of the usual unpleasantness on MyT, and not meant seriously. I doubt any us could really change dramatically. We are what we are, although it sometimes appears that people do become very angry about the cyberworld.

  14. Lesson 3. For shame. My plant, pseu1, has appealed to your nobler nature and you fell for it straight away.

    Your homework for tonight is to learn Lady Scottish Play’s lines from Act 1 scene 5.

    ‘The raven himself is hoarse
    That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan
    Under my battlements. Come, you spirits
    That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,
    And fill me from the crown to the toe topful
    Of direst cruelty.’

  15. Don’t change a thing Minty, you are what you are, we are all different on MyT and it would be a boring place indeed if we all sang from the same hymn book.

  16. Hello OMG: but I so want to just run riot and make a scene 🙂 Sob.

    The only person who TRULY understand how I feel is John Mackie and he’s making me feel like a complete and utter failure 🙂 Oops sorry about the errant smilie.

  18. Lesson 4. My work here is done. I think that I may have over-ironed the eggy (or the converse thereof) enough for one night. I’m not going to push my luck.

    Thanks for this blog, Ara. Smiley thing!

  19. Minty. There is no problem in throwing your liberty bodice of and running barefoot amongst the rhubarb, step out of character now and then, why, I posted a serious blog the other day, yes me OMG! several MyTers thought the sky had fallen in.

  20. John, my dear. Is there any hope for cultivating a better, I mean worse, Bilby? I despair sometimes at my ‘niceness’ (a pathetic word) which most find despicable (a great spitting word!)?

  22. Tee hee, John and OMG: I know your game, you are testing my resolve. WELL IT WON’T work.

    Oh well, I may as well bow to the inevitable and say thank you, you’ve been real sports. I may break out eventually, but it will probably be short lived.

    Do they do evening classes in assertiveness?

  25. Oh, well of course you are probably ri……. hang on OMG, HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW THIS? Can you prove it, if not I suggest you are talking RUBBISH! Huh, well, that told you then 😉

  28. Minty MBE young padowan,

    Study the words of Grand Moff Mackie he will teach you well and show you the path that leads to the DARK SIDE. When you have mastered all that Mackie can teach you, I may be interested in taking you on as a student.

    When you can walk the rice paper and bring me grasshoppers danglers then you will be ready young mouse.

  30. Blimey, Furry, it sounds like a long slog. Do you think I’m worthy?

    What do you mean you cheeky Mustelid, reckon you can teach me anyfink? I know it all, sort of 😉
