Potshots...The Untold Story!!!

[SHATOUSHKA]

nope.

its all you.

since you are the one claiming to pick out a
'pot shot'... you post yours. i want to see
the ones you have made to others.

[SHATOUSHKA]

it is most certainly fair.

you claim to distinguish 'pot shots'... particularly
when they are toward you and your posts. you also
claim to rest on the term 'pot shot' for X behavior.

now... let's not make this thread become a run-around.
we've all seen a bazillion times... the 'wrongs'
done to you by other posters.

its time you post your own.

bring it.

ah but one point is being overlooked. I have already posted that in many instances in the past year I could have described a situation as a potshot, but I did not.

That is the key. As a result, the experience of describing what happened was almost as bad as what happened.

So to know give examples of the others, when I did not get a chance to properly use the term in the past, is not doable.

But you can give examples if you like. You might find that there were some that you view as potshots that may actually be close calls only.

[SHATOUSHKA]

so.... what you are saying is....

nothing remotely like a pot shot doesn't count
because you have only come up with the term recently.

if that is true, then no 'pot shot' given to you
prior to the day you dubbed the term is worthy
of the term.

methinks you are just squirming out of providing
the evidence of you being a hyprocrite.

[Alex]

That's not what I'm saying.

Lets say you buy a really nice sweater, and before you can wear it, a friend asks to wear it.

If you've already worn it, it's one thing to loan it out, but if you've never worn it, that's another story.

I have yet to make a potshot list from the past, I'm certainly not going to aim the potshot at myself first.

And frankly, I doubt you'll find very many, if any.

i don't understand why it has taken 10 replies
to comply...

i expected as much...
but that doesn't mean that i understand the reasoning
why it is so.

the key here, alex, is to use self-reflection in
order to prevent yourself from looking hyprocritical...
at least before someone calls you on it.

now... it doesn't really matter how many you have
made... the fact is that you have made them.
which is what i would like you to show.

if you refuse to do so... then any you display (not your own)
beyond this point is merely a 'pot shot' in itself.

bringing this thread to a close...


unless you would like to list them.... yours.

[Alex]

Actually, I've been completely consistent with my position (insert Shaty's rejoinder that my position is flawed).

Just as I won't repeat a Potshot aimed at me before responding to it, (because that would mean that the insult is posted twice, the response only once), I certainly won't play a guessing game on what you think has been a potshot from me in the past.

I remember many posts, Shatzy, what you think is a potshot is probably a reply to a previous position the other party had in the past, and is continuing
with in the present.

You start, I'll gladly listen and respond.

That is fair.

[SHATOUSHKA]

wrong.

and this thread has now closed.
