JMK wrote: PG and I never said that we thought that *we* were super models or anything, however, ig *did* say that he felt that he was attractive. I beg to differ. If there was a lineup of 10 men and I was asked to pick the most attractive, well, he would probably not make the list. *shrug* At any rate, I fail to see how I look or how PG looks is relevant to Ig's comment that he feels that he is attractive. It's highly relevant. In order to make disparaging remarks about someone's physical attractiveness one should have some "talking room". It's akin to a person calling another person "stupid". In order to call someone else "stupid" one must be smart by comparison. Ig's features are regular and proportional, his skin is good, he's got plenty of hair and he's in good shape. There's no reason he shouldn't consider himself attractive. Carmen Ok, I understand... you are attracted to arrogant, all-knowing men. That is ok, if you want to live your life that way. Personally, anyone that posts in a NG that they are attractive is begging to be beyotch slapped..... |

It's fine if he wants to fight back but he should completely ignore comments by those he claims to have kf'd unless he decides to take them out of his kf and have the balls to confront them directly. Attractive is in the eye of the beholder. There are no rules. It's quite possible that physically a person can possess the typical "attractive" qualities but their personality is such a turn off that even if they looked like Mel Gibson they would be unattractive to those who know enough about them. Then again that would require a bit more than superficial thought. Jenn |

In the culture he came from his style of discourse is the norm. Americans and Canadians are raised differently by and large, so it gets interpreted as arrogant. Carmen |

It's fine if he wants to fight back but he should completely ignore comments by those he claims to have kf'd unless he decides to take them out of his kf and have the balls to confront them directly. That's a rather myopic POV. The right to self defense comes into play - and then only *after* he's been attacked. He'd be foolish to allow someone to attack him and ignore it if it comes to his attention despite his killfile. Under those circumstances the person who knows he's killfiled them and attacks him regardless is attempting a cowardly sneak attack. Attractive is in the eye of the beholder. There are no rules. It's quite possible that physically a person can possess the typical "attractive" qualities but their personality is such a turn off that even if they looked like Mel Gibson they would be unattractive to those who know enough about them. Then again that would require a bit more than superficial thought. Odd you should choose Mel Gibson. He's a very good example. Physically he's attractive but otherwise he's a waste of air as far as I'm concerned. The fact that I find him to be a worthless excuse for a human being does not negate the fact that he can lay claim to being "attractive". For me to deny he's attractive just because I find him vile would be dishonest. *That* would be an example of superficial thought. Carmen |

I disagree, but then again when I had him KF'd he attacked me regularly. Eventually I did get sick of ignoring the attacks - all of which I was aware of because of replies by others or because a few friends would forward things to me since they thought it was unfair/uncalled for. I took him out to respond. Now I don't bother with the KF and amazingly the nasty comments have decreased. Attractive is in the eye of the beholder. There are no rules.

Carmen I don't find Mel Gibson particularly attractive and never did, but again we are entitled to disagree. It doesn't make you any more correct than me. I'm not sure how judging the attractiveness of someone based on more than ones appearance would make me superficial, but whatever works for you. Jenn |

Ignoramus2437 wrote: Despite that, good looking people are consistently rated better than bad looking people, if test subjects are asked to judge intelligence and other abilities, by photographs. And we all know that there is a bias/prejudice against fat people. Just because a person isn't fat doesn't make them attractive. I know that from experience as I was definitely less attractive at my thinnest than I was at times when I was heavier, just not from a Hollywood perspective. I'm certainly not going to argue one way or the other anymore because my point is completely lost on you. You might live your life in a lab or a study setting, but I like the real world with real people. Regarding killfiles, I have been around usenet for 10 years. Usually, when killfiling is loudly announced etc, that's drama queening and such announcements are usually lies. I killfile posters when I find reading their posts not worth my while, and try to not make a big drama about it. Hence, I do not announce who I killfile etc. There is a country song "if your phone does not ring, you'll know it's me". i I have been around usenet for 12 years, BFD. You like to bring that out when it works for you, but then when your inappropriate behavior is pointed out to you, you claim all kinds of ignorance - how convenient. When it comes to drama queening I certainly am not going to argue with you since you are the professional in that department and put most people around here to shame. All I said was if you were going to make comments about other people, even in self defense, it's chicken**** to keep them killfiled during that exchange. I always took you out of my KF to confront you directly rather than play the childish games you like to trot out. I'm not afraid to tell you exactly what I think of you or hide behind usenet tricks.
