Still this quote battle is occuring whether you want to pretend it is or not Ask everyone else on pianostreet whats happening between you and me. QUOTE WARSSSSSS lol, well they might call it something .... else... lol. Still the activity uses many quotes and responses to quotes, which is much much quoting
Yes, since you are not even bothered to look up a definition of a word and instead what to say you don't know what it means
So yes you will have to remain ignorant.
Yeah but there are ways to insert yourself into a convo without looking like a control freak trying to tell someone how to behave and what they can and cant do, i.e: you telling me that I shouldn't tell j_tour what to play while ignoring my motivation for typing exactly what I did.
Yet you tried to when you said: "It is for j_tour to decide what repertoire he practises - not you". A rather unnecessary comment from you trying to tell me what to do.
When they ask a question about repertoire they get a suggestion, if you want to try and kill that discussion then you are merely butting into a conversation without anyone asking you to and providing useless commentary that no one asked for. I don't feel the need to explain to you what I meant by what I said, you have chosen to interpret it all in your own way and thus come up with a large story all of your own making. That is why I told you to stay out of conversations that have nothing to do with you.

I am saying you can gep have exactly the same timezone locations which can be viewed via the profiles. You said simple that it was wrong and refused to accept that this information is valid.

Well, one supposes that someone has to. You can check for yourself which timezones UK and the Netherlands are in and, if you accept what you find (i.e. that they are in different ones), you have presumably concluded that we are in the same country or in two countries in the same time zone which, as I have stated, is not the case; if you don't accept what you find, I cannot be held responsible. Who cares, anyway?!Best,Alistair

Since always. No now you are going further than I bothered about. I am saying you can gep have exactly the same timezone locations which can be viewed via the profiles.

in the end I am right, You and GEp have exactly the same timezone as proven by the information in the profiles. Anything else you say is inconsequential since my interest is rather obvious and you simply want to go further. I have been right all along with what I am saying.
So who really cares?
I have no need to look up the definition of a word with whose meaning I am well familiar - and your sentence seems to have gone walkabouts here...
I have no more idea what "kibitizing on the sidelines" might be or to whom than I have of who it might be that does not "welcome" it, whatever it might be.
I will have to do nothing of the kind, although we are all ignorant of something.
I did not say what you should and shouldn't tell him; I merely pointed out whose decision it was as to what repertoire he practised.
I referred to your motive in telling him what you did as being questionable, so it had hardly gone unnoticed.
How is stating what is for j_tour to decide equivalent to telling you waht to do?
Ah so YOU are now trying to tell ME what to do and what not to do AND which conversations have nothing to do with me! That's OK for you, then! How badly cracked is that mirror?
I can't be bothered to wonder
I have already stated the facts. The Netherlands is in a different time zone to UK, regarless of what any profile timezone information might tell you. That's a fact.
However your fingers might or might not be employed, you really do enjoy the sound of them on your keyboard!

Who cares, anyway?!
So this forum's profiles are factual on countries timezones and all other information sources as to countries' timezones are false? If that's your belief choice, be my guest. I did mention, incidentally, thatm whereas gep's location is mentioned in his profile, none is mentioned in mine, so you'll have either to take my word for the fact of my UK location or not, as you wish. Not my problem.
you said: YOu have no idea what "kibitzing on the sidelines" means. So do you know what the word Kibitiz means? So you know what the meanin of "on the sidelines" means? Surely you can put it all together? Yep, it is not a good idea to insert yourself into a conversation that has nothing to do with you.
Yes, since you are not even bothered to look up a definition of a word and instead want to say you don't know what it means when it is VERY easy to go to google and type the word in. So yes you will have to remain ignorant.
Yet he asked for an opinion and got one, so your interjection was highly inappropriate and not asked for and totally inappropriate to try and tell me what to do and interfer with what was asked for by j_tour. My response was a good one, you read it in a weak manner and failed to understand the meaning of what I said, you never asked me to elaborate and instead went off on your own interpretation which was unncessary. And yet you did not ask me what I exactly meant by it all instead want to interfer with my communication with j_tour.
You should focus your attention on what concerns you
you thought I was being mean to Sorabji and felt the need to respond.
Because if you see I made a suggestion and you said I have no right to suggest anything to him and he should decide for himself, as if you are saying my suggestion should be totally ignored. It is not a good idea to put peoples opinions down especially when it is in a discussion which didn't involve you, it equates to silly sideline kibitzing.
yet you can be bothers to write more unnecessary posts here? I can't be bothered to wonder why
Inconsequential, the fact remains that the timezones are exactly the same in the profiles and there is no hour difference where there should be. I have tested this on many other people from all over the world and all their times are correct.
To your utter joy I am sure!
You want to tell me that your timezones (you and gep) are not the same in a previous response to me, let me refresh your memory:I said: Quote from: lostinidlewonder on Today at 10:41:08 AMI wonder why you are on the same timeline as ahinton??? AHHAHAHAAH!!!!You responded with your misinformation:Quote from: ahinton on Today at 02:16:46 PMHe isn't.
After some battle you decided to actually look at it and noticed that I was correct that the profiles show that you both have EXACTLY the same timeline. This is all I was pointing out and I am 100% correct.
You are rambling on and on. I am simply interested in the fact that your time zones are EXACTLY THE SAME, even though you are supposed to be living in different zones. That is a basic fact. I am actually laughin so hard now with your total avoidance of this clear fact that is so simple. You are trying to bring in all sorts of things which is inconsequential. It is very very simple. Look at profiles of ahinton and gep, supposed to be in different countries on different time lines yet... what do we have here? wow exactly same timeline!!!!
Of couse I know what "sidelines are"; I had not encountered previously "kibitzing" and that is perhaps less than surprising as its place appears to be in American English and its origin Yiddish. It is not, however, for you to decide who any conversation has anything to do with - and your use of such a term is not a valid deciding factor in this.
No, not ignorant but honest. I told you that I was not familiar with the word and then looked it up.
All nonsense, not least because I stated that it was up to him to decide what repertoire he wasnted to practise and, as I mentioned, your suggestion that he learn some Sorabji instead of Schubert was of questionable motivation.
Oh, I do, believe you me; I do!
I didn't say that; I merely questioned why you introduced him into that part of the conversation, especially given what you have said you feel about much of that composer's work.
It is for j_tour to decide what repertoire he practises - not you.
How serious a suggestion was it that he try some unspecified Sorabji instead of some Schubert Impromptus?
If it was that private a conversation and you wantged to keep it that way, why did you not use the PM facility to conduct it?
Well, that at least is a relief, however small!
Again, so you are claiming either that Netherlands and UK are in tghe same timezone or that either gep or I cannot be located in the countries that his profile shows and in which I claim to be located?
Not a whole lot of that around here!
And he isn't.
In saying that he isn't, I made no mention of profiles;
I merely referred to facts and added that the profile timezone information is wrong for gep but not for me.
For what I seriously hope to be that last time, gep's timezone as shown in his profile is an hour behind his actual one whereas mine is correct for my location even though that location is not shown there. End of.
I knew you couldnt resist and respond to me on your alt account I consider that a WIN!!! You lose!Still i wonder where anyone has said REMOVE YOUR POST but you lol! Oh and do edit your location in your profile, that hour discrepancy makes your attempt to say you are from Netherlands look funny. I wonder why you are on the same timeline as ahinton??? AHHAHAHAAH!!!!
My 'alt' account? Interesting; I have, and always had, but one. Oh, and I do know where I live, by the way. While there has once been a Dutch king on the British throne (or at least, he was a Dutch stadholder married to the British queen of the time), The Netherlands never was part of the United Kingdom, and is not so now. For the record, the UK and The Netherlands are not in the same time zone, and Alistair's is an hour behind mine.
“Multiple exclamation marks,' he went on, shaking his head, 'are a sure sign of a diseased mind.” (Terry Pratchett; Eric)
You took too long to respond we talking about much other things now.
Your times are exactly the same in your profiles which are calculated via your IP. I dunno why this is such a sensitive topic, I am just stating a fact!
I shake my head at your flippant use of accusing people of mental illness. Quoting someone to express this makes it no better. Pathetic.
No you are not.
I do not care what Alistair's of my profiles say about locations or timezones; you are - are very considerable length and in very rude and ludicrous wording - accusing either Alistair, or me, or us both, of lying (about his/mine/our locations).
I've no idea what you are writing about but, since your responses to me were not abusive, I am unsurprised.
Rush to whatever gramatically shaky conclusion you will, I could not care less. But I would never "accuse" someone of a mental (or any other) illness. I do however "accuse" you of having a diseased way of thinking, for while disease is not a choice, acts are. You must be a treat for those happening to live within earshot of you. I've known the like..
mention what you thought was gramatically shaky?
I have simply mentioned something I saw that was peculiar,
Are you crazy???
Let me correct on that. From what I saw of your writings (insofar as parts of it merit such name; and no, I did not read it all) it's largely all shaky in every possible way.
Which would have taken one line rather than acres of keyboard SCREAMING!!!!!!!!.
You might have mentioned the fact, asked how such could be if the persons concerned do live in different time zones, and perhaps someone here could have explained.
There are mental illnesses, which are diseases of the mind. Something different from diseased ways of thinking.
Logging out now; sleep tight, and do dream of all your victories.
Your point being? I am discussing with ahinton and he seems to respond on the same topic. If you can't follow it you know you can simply scroll past it all. Why should you care, this is a Last post wins thread, the game is to win, and I beat you many times already! I can go on and on about the time as long as necessary, if you don't like it, remember the scroll button? Use it! So good! ahha.I like to express things in my own way, it creates more discussion. Your way is boring for me. If you don't like my style then remember the manta... I CAN I CAN I CAN SCROLL PAST THIS! lol. This is the Gep dictionary not the offical one. Disease of the mind means mental illness, clear and simple, now you have learned something so losing to my post shouldn't feel too bad now. Oh sweet sweet winning victory, how i love the taste of it, tastes like salty tears, so so salty. WIN!!!!!
Care to explain that?
Nope. I've already gone into quote wars with other users... right now I can't be bothered. Seems like Lost, Gep and ahinton are getting their flirt on with each other... so I'll just interject every now and then.
More bovine excrement, of which you seem to have unlimited quantities, but at least you now appear to have someone else to whom to - er - do something with it...
Can I ask - why do you sign EVERY post with your name?
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake baker's manBake me a cake as fast as you canI WIN I WIN I I WIN
There is never enough people I welcome as many as possible but if they feel angry they should use that SCROLL button and just scroll past it all. The quality of my post only reflects who I am dealing with I'm glad I have triggered your "bovine extremement" simile response!!! Peculiar again you want to BUTT INTO a conversation I am having with someone else, I guess you enjoy that kind of activity since you have done it a number of times in this thread already.BTW I win guys, you all lose!
*Bob still doesn't know what's going on in the thread anymore, but he found another meme-ish pic.*
Don't a lot of those cultures... eat cats?
I'm very disappointed, because I was really expecting some serious replies in this very scholarly thread.
This thread has become it's own type of quirky since you showed up... your rantings about meat parcels that look like Stalin are most concerning...(Sorry about the Schubert thought).
Were you serious about not being able to learn the Schubert Impromptus or was that just to try and gather some sympathy?
Oh dear... that was a terrible pun.
This is one thread you can't win Alistair. I'm just going to keep posting in this forum and just ignore anything Alistair says from now on...
I miss snow - here in Perth, it never snows.
