It's simple.

You, Ode, like to win every single verbal spar you take part in. It annoys me because I usually don't care who wins or losses, but heck, I feel everyone has a point.

(Okay, okay, I like to win sometimes too!)

Being that you're annoying in that way, I cannot be nice to you. BUT, being that I was right about something recently regarding you the equilibrium is established and I can be nice to you again.

*reads Ode's reply pm*

Oh, I see.

Against evidence to the contrary, you're trying to argue that you're right...again. *sighs*

Back to being mean.

My dear Viv, you have missed the point completely. While I do like to win all the verbal sparring I engage in (everyone likes to win, after all), the real reason I insist upon arguing that I'm right is to prolong the debate. I enjoy far more the actual sparring than I do the outcome, it's all done to keep the debate (that's the best word I can think of right now) going.

I'd also like to point out that IMO everyone does have a point, and I do not deny them that right, even in victory.

If you being mean

to me is the price it takes to keep the sparring going, then to me it's all worth it, so long as it stays all in fun.

I am not arguing that I'm right, BTW, as you said you are supposed to keep on teasing/abusing me, I merely pointed out that Georgi would not appreciate you killing me. It was your assumption that led you to think that meant no more being picking on me, don't you go putting words into my mouth.

I have been constantly on the defensive with you lately, and I obviously misunderstood you. I thought you were accusing me again. I sincerely apologize for jumping to conclusions. As you can see, I was nowhere near this Scaydecam thing, and should be further proof that I was not responsible for VivcamLive! either.

Awe...I've clearly been transferring my anger at Ode to others!!

I'm sorry McBane. *hug* It won't happen again. *hug*

Do you forgive me?

As for Dangermouse, it does not help too much with the babes, but IMHO, I don't really need too much help. Don't you agree? **Ok, I really set you up to slam me here, so be gentle**

Rofl!! *Viv sputters as she's sipping her water and begins to choke at the funny statement*

(Hmmmm...though you've never denied WATCHING Vivcam live?)

Indeed. Ode should be tarred and feathered for the amount of trouble he tries to get me into.

As you can see @Viv, I have plainly been a victim of Tybaltus's attempts to turn us against each other. He is obviously trying to make me out to be some sort of scoundrel, which I evidently am not, as I'm certain McB can testify to.

I would also like to point out that evidently I am not bringing this upon myself, Tybaltus is.

How sad when two friends are driven apart by a third party, probably twisted with jealousy over the once-easy rapport they shared...

Lastly, good night @all, I am going to bed, as it is 12.07 AM over here. *hugs* to all the ladies (even the mean ones), and no hugs to all the blokes (sorry guys).

Thanks for being gentle!

As for the denial, let me ask you a question first. Lets suppose you are walking by an art exhibit, and you realize you are walking right past the Mona Lisa. Would you stop and look?

Beauty such as yours cannot be ignored. I must confess to taking a small moment to savor the majesty that is Viv.....

**Hmmm, perhaps I laid it on a bit too thick..**

Some sort of a scoundrel, you are. You admitted that somewhere in AC's bar, I think.

And McB would stick up for you because you both hail from the SLURR catagory.

The rest of Ode's response speaks for itself, I guess. I have nothing to add.

Later Ode. Take it easy.

**looks fearfully over his shoulder** I agree, Don Tybaltus has tried to get poor Ode into trouble before. Its a shame really.

I instill fear in others. As I am quite the daunting figure, as you can plainly see.

*blush* That almost makes me think it's okay, as art can be appreciated in such a way...

But I don't think that's why YOU'RE looking. Hmm...maybe I'll have to sign up with the T'lainya company for protection (though she's having a similar problem last I heard!)

Okay, I went to find the original, but couldn't. I believe I made a comment about? Killing the perverts in general. I believe YOU jumped in assuming I had been talking about you.

What an interesting case study, eh?

This argument boils down to (for me):

A) Lets be honest, whatever I said wasn't directed at you and was said in jest. My threat of punishing? Killing? WAS A VERBAL TEASE. Let's also be honest if anyone can think of any other SYMER who is least likely to hurt another.

I may SAY I'm going to hurt someone, but will it ever happen?

Heck, my sister can beat me up and I've never won an arm wrestling contest.

B) My point has ALWAYS been that I should be able to tease you regardless of who you're with or who your friends are. They are not important, as I am not teasing THEM. I don't care if you're part of the rolling thunder, and though I like Georgi and am happy about that, it doesn’t matter in the context of teasing YOU. (‘Course now that I’ve got permission FROM her, logic says I should be able to go ahead even by your standards)

From my point of view, you were trying to deflect this teasing by thrusting Georgi at me instead of taking it like a man.

You’re now trying to pick on one little comment (my jest about killing) as opposed to my entire arguments point? No, no, my friend, my point has ALWAYS been that I should be able to pick on you as I always have regardless of outside influences.

Not any.other.point.

@Ode to a Grasshopper:
You're not going to win any argument like this with Vivien . . . or any other woman, for that matter. Accept it. Move on.
