New crash study.

Haha, you're a real trouper.

Has a taste (or two) of the Glen Grant 10 year and bought a bottle for more indepth research, not bad at all.

All a matter of taste of course..sometimes GG get it right. Currently in depth researching 'Bank Note" now on my third bottle I have concluded they are very consistent in their product

I'd never had GG before, but at $60 for 700mls thought it might be ok. I'm not a connoisseur by any means but like to give different brands a try.

Didn't even know about the "Bank Note" so that tells ya something as well.

So the truth hurts so much you want my profile deleted? I bet most of my repondants will miss me more than I will miss posting on this site. Even yourself what will you do with your time if I am kicked off the site?

for science. try leaving and find out.

I second Cassina's profile deletion.

Okay, my two cents worth.

A statement is made. Cassina responds to the statement, first agreeing or disagreeing enough to make you think she has listened, but then she pivots and brings some sort of deluded argument into play (it's luck, she crashes often but it's not her fault, or some variation on target fixation or not keeping up).

This is a strategy used by two types of people. The first example is Kellyanne Conway. She answers the first part of the question by repeating some part of the statement, then she pivots and brings her line of bullshit into the frame. For example, the interviewer will ask if she's lying about the terrorist attack in Bowling Green. She will say something like, "the terrorists are getting away with murder, and the fake news is attacking Donald Trump because he's threatening to show how corrupt the media is". She rejects the validity of the statement by repeating some part of it, then pivots, and makes a new sound bite. This is usually evidenced by soundbites like "alternative facts" for example. This is often used as a coached media response by CEO's under threat (VW's CEO, United Airlines CEO etc).

The second type of person is someone with a personality disorder. It's different from someone who is just plain dumb, because they don't redetermine the meaning of the statement. Often, people with narcissistic personality disorder (for example) will take part of statement, twist it, and then pull the direction back to their main hot topics. It's like a pivot, but the difference is that the narcissist is actually trying to establish their point as the "truth" which then makes them an "expert". The interesting thing in this scenario is that any disagreement to the "truth", even if it's logical and rational, doesn't matter because all the narcissist actually wants is the attention - even people yelling at them is attention.


I don't think Cassina is smart enough to be like the first type. I think that Cassina is the second.

The dilemma I see - and this is being serious for a moment - is that newbies might take her advice seriously. My question is, what does it take for someone to get banned from this site? Two candidates spring to mind immediately. Clearly, Cassina. The second is Axkle - I can't see a situation ever where someone threatening to commit crime against someone else's kids to be anything other than a banning offence. Mods, care to comment?

You leave too ... we wont miss you either. And think of all the extra time you'll have ...

[onearmedbandit]

It takes an awful lot to get banned from KB, only a few lucky souls have had the pleasure so far. And I don't recall being involved in any of them.

I have however wondered what would happen if I got high and accidentally edited someones password and forgot what it was.... You know, short term memory loss and all.

Seconded. All those in favour?

You'd need to blacklist their IP address as well, just in case they started a new profile or worked out how to unlock their account.

Perhaps we should draw up a list for the Mod's ...

Submissions anyone ... ???

There's a positive angle on all this. It helps us look clever if we have one or two numbskulls kicking around...

I'd settle for having the standard KB disagreements, abuse and general mayhem.

That's why all my friends are balding dwarves with beer paunches. I look good. Comparatively.

The dilemma I see - and this is being serious for a moment - is that newbies might take her advice seriously.

Then they would be fucking idiots. Anyone who takes advice from the internet that has the capacity to shorten their lives and doesn't check it out with someone in the real world is an idiot.

Newbies and young ones should understand the way of the internet and realise you need a big pinch of salt with anything on there. I wouldn't trust an internet based scotch egg recipe without a second opinion, fuck riding a motorbike based on comments some random person offered up.
