from you're spelling
See? It's an easy mistake to make.
from you're spelling
you[u]'re[/u]
niftz: I take it you're illiterate from your spelling - perhaps you're not aware but basic education here is free.
You're in the wrong forum to be using personal attacks. There's no need for that. You seem truly perturbed by this situation. Perhaps you are the kind who thinks they own the world around them and has been taught a lesson too. Nonetheless, if you're into personal attacks on web forums, SkyscraperPage is what you're looking for. Begone little twirp!
What you view as in need of psychiatric help, I view as standing up for myself.
Where you want to run away from situations squeeling like a little girl, I won't tolerate that kind of behavior towards me.
He was very aware that his elbow was digging into my back several times. I assumed that he would have realized it the first time so I didn't say anything. It was after several times that I turned around and looked at him as if saying "Excuse me!". When he didn't remove his arm after that and dug his elbow into my back a couple more times, I verbally asked him to remove his arm.
That's when he escalated the situation. What was a fair request turned into a "Phuck off!" from him. Now you'd probably switch seats and go throw punches into the air when you got home angered at yourself for being a loser who can't stand up for himself, but I got out of my seat and walked around to his. He continued his big shot façade with his "pfft!" face and was truly disarmed when I told him to get up.
We exchanged a few words, he continued being disrespectful. I noticed we were arriving at Spadina so I took him out of the equation.
I could have waited for him to throw a punch at which point I could have beaten him unconscious... I didn't. I knew that he was a poser in a costume as Buildup pointed out. I knew that what he needed to see was that people don't tolerate that kind of behavior. Period.
He was taking up at least four seats on a busy streetcar. His sprawling legs into the aisle, his arm on the back of two seats on his right, and another arm on the seat next to him on his left. People tired from a busy day at work were standing up when they could have sat down on their way home.
Now you tell me who's in need of psychiatric help? Stand up for yourself little wuss! Raise your kid to grow some balls (unless of course it's a girl).
I don't go around the world being a vigilante but I do stand up for myself when the situation arises. I won't avoid a seat because some dude thinks he owns four or five seats around him. If he smells... ok, he wins.. I'll go stand elsewhere.
(...) but this was hardly as extreme as it sounded in your first first post.
That's an odd thing to be saying, as I haven't made any personal attacks on you or on anyone else - yet you seem to have made plentyYou're in the wrong forum to be using personal attacks. There's no need for that.
Not at all. I simply think that someone escalating a non-violent situtation into a violent situation is a far more serious crime than someone taking up a bit too much space on a seat (though how people actually fit into those bus seats I don't know ... I sit squarely in a double, and my arm is against the window/wall on one side, and I can see my should is pretruding an inch past the middle of the seat on the other site - and I'm only 5'8"!You seem truly perturbed by this situation. Perhaps you are the kind who thinks they own the world around them and has been taught a lesson too.
There is absolutely no reason to be calling people names. So you attack people and call people names when they are simply trying to to help you? This seems most uncivil.Begone little twirp!
You quite clearly have anger issues (this was evidenced in your earlier post where you said you tried to provoke situations like this). This just isn't acceptable in society, and presumably will lead to a situation where you will injure someone. If you think this is acceptable, you need help. I'm simply trying to politely help you.What you view as in need of psychiatric help, I view as standing up for myself.
I don't get it. What's the difference between "Phuck off" and "Fuck off"? Is this some slang thing? Perhaps there's an aspect to this exchange I'm missing.What was a fair request turned into a "Phuck off!" from him.
Since when was a typo consistent with illiteracy? And it's generally considered anti-social in a discussion group to be making spelling flames. It's interesting that you attack people on buses for anti-social behaviour, yet you carry out such acts yourself. I'm unsure the "joke" about mis-spelling my name as niftz (though perhaps that's just a typo of the type you accuse me for illiteracy). You've consistently used American-forms of spelling rather than Canadian (such as behavior versus behaviour) - I thought you might be a recent transplant, and not aware of what was available here.niftz: I take it you're illiterate from your spelling - perhaps you're not aware but basic education here is free.

No it wasn't. You have misinterpreted the situation. I was concerned for the well being of those around you. Though I had forgotten the earlier comment about you being on medication - had I remembered that, I'd have not said what I said.Telling me to get a psychiatrist is a personal attack.
Snide? How was what I said snide? It was simply an observation - you make it sound like there's something wrong with being an American?Your snide comment about me being American and needing Canada's free medical assistance was an attack.
How is open season on a member of this forum fair game? Isn't that a violation of the terms and conditions here?After that, open season on nfitz was fair game if you didn't notice...
Can you please stop with the verbal attacks?I'm not the only one who thinks you're a schmuck.
... okay ... it's only a word.It's an attempt to avoid vulgarities. I first used "F" but found that I had to pronounce it to get my point across since you didn't get it the first time.
I've used both the contraction you're and your wrongly and rightly here ... it's lazy typing and not bothering to proof, not illiteracy. And I didn't make any judgement about your spelling - I simply assumed you were American from your spelling, - there's nothing wrong with American spelling, and I didn't make a judgement about it. Not sure where you're getting that from.Tihs is a typoo. Consistently misusing (or not using) the contraction "you're" just shows lack of knowledge. I wouldn't have brought it up but your snide "American spelling" remark was met with mine about your own spelling. If you're illiterate, don't go preaching about somebody's spelling.
Agreed - and interesting. I'm curious, which part of Europe? Most parts I've seen use British spelling over American spelling. (I'm genuinely curious here ... don't read anything else into it - language differences fascinate me).I'm a proud Canadian. However, I grew up in a part of Europe where American english is prevalent (not the UK). i.e. "Centre" / "Center"; "Colour" / "Color"; "Behaviour" / "Behavior" are interchangeable for me. I know the differences and neither is incorrect so I use either as I see fit.
That is certainly not how your first description sounded - at first it sounded like you had assaulted him.I could have dealt with it in a violent manner (i.e. slapping him for being disrespectful). I simply "escorted" him to the door and got him out of there, avoiding a worse outcome for the fellow.
I'm ignorant here ... I don't think there was a noun in that sentence (after I) that I'm understanding the meaning, or at least context of ... a "special class" at the University of Toronto??? Is Ed a prof??I'll ask Ed to create a Special Class on UT for you.
Hey, if you'll stop sounding like a thug, I'll try and stop sounding like a schmuck!Now in the interest of carrying this thread forward, I'll stop my retribution towards you if you can stop being a schmuck.
