It's always projection with you.

It's also amusing that RF doesn't know the actual meaning of terms he uses. Nor understands the political spectrum. But continue on being a populist who rails on about things you don't know about as exampled in that one thread about "free benefits"

How to win Friends and Influence People isn't on your reading list, is it, Paul?

Obama says he's a center right Republican and Paul says he's wrong.

Bernie says he's a Democratic Socialist and Paul says he's wrong.

I say that Social Security is money paid by the government at the whim of Congress and Paul says I'm wrong.

Two men say they're Jesus....one of the MUST be wrong :

Spoiler:
It's Paul

What is a gnat chart? I don't assume you mean gantt chart because that doesn't apply to the topic at hand. Did you mean org chart? Or were you just randomly inserting project management tools in order to appear knowledgeable?

Swing and a miss bro. Read the post to which I was responding.

So gnat chart isn't a thing? Normally I would assume you meant gantt chart and not mention it, but you are so pedantic and you often edit your own posts (glass houses fear I guess) so I thought maybe it was a thing. Plus a gantt chart wouldn't apply.

Your gaff gave me an idea. What if a gnat chart was a real thing? What kind of thing would it be? Well, gnats are kind of annoying, but really not even that good at being annoying. Swatting at gnats risks making one look a little high strung so they tend to linger, yet, all things being equal, many people would prefer they not be around. Ya know? I just realized that that's a fairly accurate description of the type of dude you are.

And there are people like you all over the place, in all kinds of organizations, pendants who make sure to keep their annoyance restricted to the right people, like how you pile on unpopular posters but suck up to the mods. In an organization a "gnat" would be low impact, low-medium skill, medium intelligence, high intelligence posing, high kiss ass factor person who often expresses their intellectual insecurity through pendantry.

Maybe this could work by subtracting the workers actual IQ from their represented IQ, dividing that by their impact score, and coming up with a "gnat" score. Overlay those score in a heat map on the org chart to show you where all these human gnats are in the organization. Then you know where to look when it's time for layoffs, or you can arrest the rise of dangerous gnats like Pete Buttigieg who aspire to higher impact.

Oh my, Deuces, you really are not very good at this, are you? I even tried to help you and everything. Let me spell it out for you - I was making the error on purpose for comedic effect, because the poster to whom I responded said "vehn diagram", instead of "Venn diagram". Capiche?

Well, they're unpopular for a reason. In any case, I must be really bad at this sucking up malarkey then, as evidenced by the fact they keep infracting and banning me!

That's a terribly unfunny joke. That joke is worse than a pedant misspelling gantt. The inapplicability of the gantt chart to the task contributed to the unfunny.

Trolley's joke was funny. You see how he spotted irony and pointed it out? If you had any comedic instincts you could have just went on here making fun of me because it would have never occurred to me that something that not funny was a joke- just never.

Well, they can't all be winners. A wise, enlightened man once told me that if you don't drop a few clangers, you're not making enough jokes.

I can't believe you saw "gaff" but missed "pendant" & "pendantry". Son, I am disappoint.

Do you make a post about every misspelled word anyone posts? To me it was a joke. You should take credit. You've fallen off a little bit. Maybe Ike's leaving dampened your incentive. Even trolls benefit from a nemesis.

Case in point you just got sonned by d2 hahaha

The comedy value of you correcting someone's spelling while making spelling mistakes of your own was too good to pass up.

Don't forget failing to grasp the very obvious fact that the "mistake" in question was made on purpose. That certainly added to the comedy value for me.

The first three describe my entire career.
If I was fortunate to have the last three I'd have moved right up the ranks.

Pity.
