So someone told me that his friend told him, that he (the friend) has looked at the CR a few times but doesn’t like Popa because she is cynical.
Do my posts come across as cynical? This bothered me very much.
No, it didn’t bother me that I might be cynical, or might be thought of as cynical. I certainly am sometimes cynical in real life, and on the CR there are far worse things I am. It bothered me that I wasn’t self aware enough of my posting to know that it is frequently cynical.
I don’t think my posting is usually cynical. I think this friend legitimately doesn’t like my posting, but doesn’t know how to define what bothers him about it. (maybe he should ask syag, they can brainstorm together)
March 17, 2013 2:28 am at 2:28 am #938136shnitzyMember“she is cynical”?!?
March 17, 2013 2:36 am at 2:36 am #938137popa_bar_abbaParticipant“she is cynical”?!?
I know, I had the same reaction. Why did he think I am cynical?
I should add that it is appropriate to link to cynical or non-cynical posts when you state your opinion.
March 17, 2013 2:51 am at 2:51 am #938138Torah613TorahParticipantHow odd, one of my friends said the same thing, only it’s a she. And I told her I never thought of it like that.
Maybe it’s only people who only read your more famous topics (like the infamous women aren’t Jewish)
March 17, 2013 3:09 am at 3:09 am #938139sharpMemberPopa: You? Cynical? Why would they say such a thing? I’m a bit surprised.
March 17, 2013 3:12 am at 3:12 am #938140🍫Syag LchochmaParticipantbrainstorm? Do you underestimate me or overestimate yourself?
Just tell me where to send the list.
March 17, 2013 3:23 am at 3:23 am #938141shnitzyMemberI meant both parts.
she is cynical…

March 17, 2013 2:00 pm at 2:00 pm #938144popa_bar_abbaParticipantsyag: post it right here. It’s open season on popa in this thread.
March 17, 2013 2:07 pm at 2:07 pm #938145☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI think your YCT teshuvas thread was pretty cynical (leitzanusa d’A”Z).
March 17, 2013 2:11 pm at 2:11 pm #938146🍫Syag LchochmaParticipantpopa – I don’t do things like that, sorry.
March 17, 2013 2:13 pm at 2:13 pm #938147aidelParticipantVERY cynical!
March 17, 2013 2:13 pm at 2:13 pm #938148FerdParticipantPopa is the best thing since sliced bread. And Popa is not cynical.
March 17, 2013 2:19 pm at 2:19 pm #938149popa_bar_abbaParticipantDY: Why yes, that thread was.
Syag: It’s ok. I don’t believe you think I’m cynical anyway. I think you don’t like my posts for other reasons, but, I think that it unfortunately is usually a misunderstanding between the twain of us.
March 17, 2013 2:27 pm at 2:27 pm #938150🍫Syag LchochmaParticipantI don’t really think I misunderstand you, but that’s fine. I’m happy to live and let live. As long as you don’t marry my daughter.
March 17, 2013 3:01 pm at 3:01 pm #938151playtimeMemberHa! so ’tis poppa_bas_abba
this is a historical occasion
March 17, 2013 6:23 pm at 6:23 pm #938154shnitzyMemberaha. “arbitrarily cynical”. Herein lies the answer to said query.

March 18, 2013 3:38 am at 3:38 am #938156popa_bar_abbaParticipantyeah, this is sort of what I expected. My posting is not cynical. I’m still self-aware.
But today, I said something really cynical. The flight attendant announced that if you return someone’s smile today, you’ll have Irish luck. So I said to the person next to me “you mean like I’ll have a civil war rip my country apart for hundreds of years?”
March 18, 2013 4:37 am at 4:37 am #938157sharpMemberWas that you, Popa? I was wondering who the retard next to me was, poking me in the ribs like that, grinning from ear to ear…
March 18, 2013 7:37 am at 7:37 am #938158popa_bar_abbaParticipantoh yes indeed
March 18, 2013 10:28 am at 10:28 am #938159Torah613TorahParticipantI’m glad you got over your self-doubt.
March 18, 2013 1:08 pm at 1:08 pm #938160gavra_at_workParticipantIs water wet?
March 18, 2013 11:34 pm at 11:34 pm #938161shnitzyMemberHey move over, someone just spilled something on my seat.
March 19, 2013 12:34 am at 12:34 am #938162yytzParticipantIf I recall correctly, you (Popa) said a while back that only one in a thousand gerus candidates should be accepted. I’d say that’s pretty cynical, since it assumes the worst about the sincerity and intentions of nearly all gerim.
