*still thinking about the six (or one) who dislike me...

One comment in particular does stick in my mind, about how "she (that is, me) thinks she's so insightful".

While I do find this whole thing amusing, this one comment is annoying as all fuck. Mostly because it's the sort of thing I hear all the time. I'm saying this ONCE, and I never want to have to say it again.

DO NOT FUCKING TRY TO GUESS WHAT I AM THINKING

Not unless you really know me quite well. If I have ever claimed to be insightful, please, shoot me now. It is RUDE to try to divine the thoughts of others, and their intentions. I don't think I'm insightful, or especially interesting (though the stats disprove that idea....), I just think I'm generally bored and like to type.

Thought I'd clear that one up. You may continue with your daily business.

Some of it is definitely an AS/NT thing, but it doesn't matter. It's still fucking rude. Consider the Iliad. During the fight in the first book, Agamemnon is convinced that Achilles is only arguing so that he can gain power, and usurp him. Achilles is convinced that Agamemnon is greedy for material possessions, and doesn't care about anybody else's honor. They think they're fighting over the same thing, the girl Breseis, but they're not!

They were both "projecting."

Pity I couldn't say that in my essay. Modern concept in an ancient book.
