I understand your point of view.

That doesn't mean I agree.

No, if you don't agree then you must not have understood and I need to explain it at more length. See, what I was saying was...*filibuster*

Happy belated birthday! Hope it was a great day.

Happy belated birthday! Hope it was a great day.

Thanks! It was fun.

Is this about putting the silpat in the dishwasher?

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Not at all. I had no opinions about the silpat and was looking to you for guidance.

Sorry if that wasn't clear.

[digitalemur.livejournal.com]

Oh it was totally clear, I am kidding around. And it was a good question! I had not gotten around to exploring the question of do silpats go in the dishwasher or not. There is going to be more baking now that I have a dishwasher.

Except secretly you do agree because everyone thinks the way I do because there's no other way to think about anything and people only disagree with me because they are crazy and evil.

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Heh.

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I'm having a good one, actually. :)

Is it your birthday? Happy birthday!

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Oh, nifty! Happy birthday! The one I have listed for you is X days after the lunar new year, so I'm never quite sure... ;-)

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

It's true. It's hard to get anyone to pay attention to that one, however, so when people wish me a happy birthday on the other day I thank them. :)

[digitalemur.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah! I totally forgot to wish you a happy birthday at any point yesterday, happy birthday I hope you slept well, I'm glad you didn't have to drive to Amherst with tin snips to rescue me after all.

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

I'm glad, too. :)

And thanks!

If you say that you understand someone else's point of view, other people will assume that you agree with them.

[digitalemur.livejournal.com]

Isn't it awesome? I use that to avoid conflict with my neighbor when she wants to share her views about the blacks and the gays and the Spanish.

What I meant was, if A says to B that he understand's B's point of view, then C will interpret that to mean that A agrees with B, and C will hate A for agreeing.

This leads to very long thinky thoughts that I'll not clog up your LJ with. Happy birthday-ish-kind-of-occasion, though.

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Thanks! (for the happy birthday wishes; you're quite welcome to add thinky thoughts)

I tend to use, "Noted and logged."

[achinhibitor.livejournal.com]

That's been around long enough that it sounds like "Noted, logged, and ignored."

Hey, felicitous natal day!

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Thanks!
