    I sort of guessed that.:)

    But, I went through your posts and our first encounter was not a very good one (telling you to stay out of that little spat forrealz and xexon were having). So thought you may have been serious.

    It is a big deal admitting you are wrong as it shows humility and an openness to alter your mind. Ignoring how wrong you are is a tragedy of epic proportions (almost).

    I find what I perceive as true humility in Piaf's recent post.

    Many of the other posts strike me as "I'm incredibly, amazingly humble!!" which ironically comes across as a not-at-all humble attitude. Additionally, it serves as a way to further (falsely/self) qualify statements, as in: "The statement I've made is true and factual. This we know because if it were not, I would of course admit it."

    For my part, I've known since childhood that if I were ever to make a mistake, it's highly doubtful I will publically recognize the fact, on any level.

    I have absolutely NO problem honestly admitting that I lack humility. That's one of the many wonderful things about me. When I'm bragging/self-inflating my image, I tend to be straightforward about it.

    Re the forrealz/xexon thing - was that you? I only remember vaguely. Were you wrong to chide me for involving myself, or was I wrong for doing so? I honestly don't know, but it obviously seems unlikely I could be in the wrong - while I think you were recently saying that you recognize that you're wrong in these forums on an approximately once per day average.

    Peacelove,

    P.S: Please don't take any of this too seriously. I'm mostly just having fun.

    Creep :rolleyes:

    Who precisely are you talking about.
    Only peanut has been the most vocal about this.

    I'd forgotten it was you as well, till I went through your posts looking for what you suggested.
    I was a little harsh, to be honest.
    Not my usual self.
    I was right though :D

    Fair enough.

    If i honestly know i'm wrong, i'll admit it. But of course there are the times when you think you're right, but you're wrong.

    That is true.


    I think we need a new emoticon.
    A shaking head, with a raised placard stating: You're wrong.
    That or an award for the most wrong forum member of the week/month/year.
    From what I have read it would be a close call between 3 forum members.

    Maybe because it has multiple meanings abd is slightly offensive for reasons the person saying it only knows.

    It was more your "images" actually - did not think there was a difference.

    there's not a difference. I just never knew there was an option to "view all of user's images" i'm just stupid, it's all good.

    Never admit defeat. You are right until proven wrong.

    Peace
