Farview said:"It's private" and "it's none of your business" means exactly the same thing.
And so does "I can't tell you". It's what you say and how that makes it polite or not.

Farview said:"It's private" is a more polite way to say "fuck off"?????
If we were talking face to face, you would have heard the inflection in my voice, I wasn't trying to be a dick.JoeBannon said:And so does "I can't tell you". It's what you say and how that makes it polite or not.
Well, you didn't really have any business asking the question.JoeBannon said:It's private isn't rude like fuck off, so no. Saying it's none of your business is because you're telling the person who asked the question they have business asking the question at all.

Farview said:It couldn't be any more rude than asking someone how much money they made.
Farview said:Well, you didn't really have any business asking the question.
I was reffering to you asking me how much money we made.JoeBannon said:But you weren't asking a question.
OK, so let me get this straight: You can ask me rude and personal questions, but I am supposed to make sure I'm being polite when I don't answer them????!!!! Why do you have rights and I don't?JoeBannon said:I do if I wanted to know. I can ask any question I want, that's my right as a individual. Example, I can ask for your SS#, even if there isn't any real reason, I still cann ask if I wanted to know.
Farview said:I was reffering to you asking me how much money we made. In the context of my post where I told you it wasn't any of your business, I did tell you that it wasn't very much. In that context, you should have been able to surmise that I wasn't trying to be a dick, even in light of the rude question I was answering.

Then, why did you accuse me of being a dick?JoeBannon said:And yes, I did surmise you're weren't being a dick,

Asking someone you don't know personal questions about money, sex, etc... IS rude. Look it up in any etiquette book (website).JoeBannon said:Asking for your SS# isn't rude. What if I just wanted to know? Asking when the last time you wacked off would be rude, unless I wanted to know. Your doctor my ask you ;-).
Why would you remind me that I don't have to be a dick when I wasn't being one?JoeBannon said:I said you don't have to be.
Make up your mind, are you, or were you?JoeBannon said:I'm was an English major

Farview said:Not to expect consequences for boorish behavior is just down-right stupid.

Farview said:I mentioned check, I didn't mention amount.
Farview said:Anyway, it turns out that you are the dick in this thread. Fuck off!
English major my ass.JoeBannon said:But isn't not a private question.
Take my advice, fuck off.JoeBannon said:You're just being a tool now.
