Subject: [Derren Brown] Fwd: Re: 3 of diamonds
That is very reasonable...
I won't make this as long as your little speech, but I will say that
this was a very tedious thing, with me to blame aswell. I think I was
misinterperating everything you wrote in reply to mine as a dig at me
or something. I've had very bad experiances with USENET, so I think I
subconsciously associate this as a similar sort of thing.
People on there have said similar things to you, but have meant it in
a way which you obviously haven't...
Please accept my apology, however, what you wrote did seem a little
formal, heh...
I will continue to discuss things all Derren (as I totally love him
IN A NON-HUMOSEXUAL WAY), and at times where I seem that I'm just
opposing something that's being said with NO insight!! I'm either
joking, or am too lazy to write down explanations as to why I feel
that "It can't be!!", heh... - I can contribute consructively, when I
want to! :)
Anyway, thanks for clearing all of that up with me...I hope we can
get along..
And that newsgroup I suggested was made up...I said 'honest' to hint
a sense of sarcasm.
One that I hate however, and loves pointless stupid debates with
silly incompetent geeks...
sci.crypt - A cryptography newsgroup (i've only posted on there a few
times)
