Posted by terRAPIN station on Mon Nov 16 13:10:49 2015, in response to Re: Today is fifty years since the big northeast blackout, posted by BrooklynBus on Sat Nov 14 20:40:17 2015. But he denied that there was a blackout fifty years ago just because he never heard of it and that was wrong and incorrect.No, that's not what happened at all. He took a subtle and light-hearted swipe at you for making the assumptions you made and the wording you used in your original post. He likely knows full well that there were previous big blackouts. But don't feel bad. This method of response has also tricked up a select few others here who have misinterpreted the response and gone on to raise all manner of holy hell serious business, to the amusement of many here, but to the detriment* of the forum overall, IMO. *It becomes a detriment once the trickee** refuses to listed to the explanations of the tricker** and others about what the meaning and intent of the reply really was (i.e. the source of his misunderstanding). **Bad terminology - implies there is intent to trick when there is not necessarily such. My apologies for using it. |
