That's not the final word on the meaning, it's just a piece of information regarding ambiguity.

You took all this totally wrong and have TOTALLY showed your pussy here.
Insecure, not only do you have to be right about the body styling specifics, you have to assert greater knowledge about sentimental value, once you get it through your head that that was the subject of conversation.
99.9% of this is you not letting go an irrelevant point, then adding bits to try to prove superiority on the way out the door. I asked you early on why you were so cranky, and you insisted on asserting it was because I was stupid, crazy, insecure etc all along the way as I tried to explain the conversation I was actually attempting.
I responded in kind, but only after your intention was clear.
I've peppered my retaliation with efforts at conciliation and compromise. You didn't understand the conversation, and I didn't understand why you interjected. Not once have you posted without appending a dig or putdown, . . . but again, I'm the dripping cunt. [Reply]
Once again me telling you I know about sentimental value in a vehicle isn't me trying to show superiority to you, it's trying too make you understand what my intentions were here.
You are awful insecure here today, you're better than this dude.
I seriously thought you were mistaken on the body style break off point, that's why I said they were different.
Then you showed me pics for some odd reason, like I didn't know what they looked like.
I said I knew what they looked like, Hell I own at least 7 of the two different styles. I could have taken ten steps and seen a couple pretty nice ones. One of each style sits less than fifteen feet from my desk.
You took all of that like I was putting you down somehow.
Ok guys I appreciate both of your input on this and I will give you my view on this..you can read it and tell me to fuck off if it is needed
Baby Lee your first message could have been confusing for some with the way you opened..it kind of seemed like you might have been saying you had a truck for sale
Sauto I can see how your different body styles could have been taken as a dick post cause it didn't expand on by what you meant behind the different body styles
I think you both are pissed over a simple misunderstanding [Reply]

I've already explained I wasn't trying to be a dick, how the fuck am I supposed to know he knew the year they changed?
I'm not mad at all, just ftr. More amused. It takes a lot more than idiot banging away on a keyboard to piss me off [Reply]

And I also took 'body style' as it's common use - the generation of the model in question. I don't know anybody that uses 'body style' to refer to vehicle type. As a term of art, sure - that's what you select when you're on autotrader or something and want to narrow things down.
But who actually uses it like that in a conversational setting?
But hey, I find it amusing in a "what the fuck happened here?" sort of way. Carry on, gents. 50 odd posts in a 4 hour span over...well, nothing that I can discern. That's impressive. I think I might have approached something like that in some miscelaneous row with Hootie when he was being a fratboy douche or Hamas/Frazod in a Cardinal thread, but that's about it. It's tough to fire off that much bandwidth in that short of time over that degree of 'slight'. [Reply]
