Don't avoid the issue by arguing about semantics. I'm trying to meet you halfway.

One problem: I never said that.

You inferred it with your posts.

I must admit, I'm curious as to what you would see as a "compromise" to your personal attacks.

Well maybe meet me half-way and admit that you were perhaps overly harsh with your statements that roommates should not be able to negotiate with other roommates over living conditions within the house. I agree that you can't change a person, however, as part of the household, there needs to be a certain order, and therefore compromises need to be made.

At which point, I should call my roommate as a witness, hmm?

Actually, I would like to hear his stories about living with you and your pet rat. Then we can put this whole thing to rest, because I'm pretty tired of having you push me around like I was your roommate or something.

I have much better things to do with my day then sit in front of a computer and argue with someone who is uncompromising and hard-headed.

Well of course I picked up on her scent. She's the one that claimed that Sugarmegs had no right to tell her roommates to clean up after themselves which I find to be completely unreasonable.

I kept quiet for a while, but she just kept compounding her view until I was left with no other discourse than to challenge her on the issue.

Why did you answer a question with a question instead of an answer?

I find it amusing that you feign some sort of control in this conversation. Why can't you just answer my question rather than trying to avoid it and placing the onus on me to explain myself? Need I remind you that this whole conversation is not about me, rather about your poor inter-roommate skills?

Sniffer, what are you qualifications as a psychologist? "Opinion" isn't evidence unless you can demonstrate expertise.

Why do you keep feeding me these great lines that just serve to reinforce my point?

And your evidence is ... ?

I will hereby present the evidence of why Arcane would most likely make a sh!tty roommate based on statements she made in this very thread.

Exhibit A:

"The only person you can change is you. Either move out or learn to like cleaning up after them."

Analysis: With this statement Arcane has clearly established that roommates opinions don't matter.

Exhibit B:

"So? If intelligence is a factor, why aren't you licking my boots?"

Analysis: With this rather blunt statement, Arcane is displaying her superiority complex over someone she has most likely never met, and therefore has no proof to back up her bombastic claim. We can conclude that this attitude will be extended to any individual she comes in contact with.

Exhibit C:

"Then keep that in mind while you're cleaning up after them."

Analysis: This demeaning statement's only purpose is to yet again establish hierarchy within the house, of which Arcane sees herself as out-ranking anyone who claims fault in her ways.

Exhibit D:

"Are you saying that you can, and should, change people to meet your standards when you live with them?"

Analysis: Unwillingness to compromise or form any sort of environment which leads to cohesiveness and mutually acceptable living standards.

Exhibit E:

"You can change -your own- bad habits."

Analysis: "fu©k you"

Conclusion: Arcane would most likely make for a sh!tty roommate.

Ok, this thread has gone from Sugarmegs asking for advice on how to deal with messy roommates to Arcane's militant verbal crusade against the rights of creating a cohesive agreement with roommates for maintaining proper sanitary conditions. I don't know about the rest of you, but if my roommates were messy, they would hear it from me, and I would expect them to acknowledge my problem despite Arcane's dismissal of this approach as being too draconian.

You obviously fit the messy roommate profile Arcane, or you have some other deep repressed feelings on the topic. Either way, having you as a roommate must suck.

History repeats itself. Anyone remember game 7 against the Sabres in 1999(?) when Ron Tugnutt gave up the game winning goal when the puck went right though his glove? Rough luck... hahaha
