I thought we were talking about your friends.... "And even personal ridicule, when done cleverly by friends is a treat" But more importantly, your response: And when they get angry, they've lost. :-) It's lovely. Was a response to a message that said this: Regardless, people frequently take offense when they are the objects of scorn...... So really, we are not talking about you enjoying seeing people lose who don't use logic to defend their position or who use insults, we are talking about you not wishing to wound people. Your words: "I appreciate good ridicule." "But at least I do not wish to wound anyone" Some definitions: dictionary.com Ridicule - Words or actions intended to evoke contemptuous laughter at or feelings toward a person or thing Scorn - Contempt or disdain felt toward a person or object considered despicable or unworthy At this point, I would still stand by my original assessment of your SI persona and I would add disengenuous as well.
