The other day, a friend (HAM) made a comment about another person (HAirr). The comment made me (GalFisk) realize that I had a passive scrund of a sort about myself. What was the comment, and what was the scrund? | ||

Was the scrund about your name? Your ancestry? Something about your actual personality? Was the scrund something that could apply only to you? Or to other people with a feature/features in common with you? Interesting puzzle...and on a tangential note, I quite like the acronym Hairr. More female- (and vegan-)friendly than HAM. =) | ||

Was the scrund about your name? Your ancestry? Something about your actual personality? This. Was the scrund something that could apply only to you? Yes. Or to other people with a feature/features in common with you? It would be possible to have a similar scrund about other people. Interesting puzzle...Thanks.and on a tangential note, I quite like the acronym Hairr. More female- (and vegan-)friendly than HAM. =) | ||

Was the scrund about your attitude/opinion on something? Political views? Religious views? Moral views? Interests of yours? Is belonging to some sort of group relevant? To a group in a broader sense, as in introverts, extroverts, vegetarians etc.? | ||

Is the group people who share the common opinion on something? Yesish. Was it your scrund that you belong to the group? or that you do not belong to the group? I had never thought of myself as belonging to this group, and had never even thought of such a group existing, but his comment made me realize such a group must exist, and that I belong to it. Would you have made similar comment about HAIrr as your friend did? No. | ||

Is it correct to say that the comment expressed criticism? If yes, was this criticism about HAIrr? About general sort of people, including HAIrr? About any specific quality/feature of HAIrr? About what HAIrr did? said? In the puzzle statement you said that the comment was about HAIrr. In your post above you say that it was about someone else. Was it about both HAIrr and someone else? Is someone else relevant to the puzzle? Is someone else related with HAIrr? Does someone else share a common quality/feature with HAIrr? | ||

Ok, this is starting to confuse me, lol. So the people involved are you, Galfisk, your HAM friend (can we call him Matt?) who made a comment about a HAIrr (can we call that person Pat?) which made you realize you had a passive scrund about yourself. And another person (HAM? HAF? HAIrr?) is also relevant now? Could you recap please? | ||

Correct. And another person (HAM? HAF? HAIrr?) is also relevant now? FA, se below. Could you recap please? RECAP: My friend Matt made a negative comment about Pat. This comment said something both about Pat, and about Matt himself. (FA cleared: the "other person" is Matt.) I overheard the comment, and realized that I belonged to a group of people I had never even thought of. What defines this group is having an opinion-ish that is, in very general terms, the opposite of what Matt expressed. | ||

Was Pat present when Matt made this comment? *is trying to think of something this comment could be relevant to, and drawing blanks* Even if it's irrelevant, are they on your skydiving team? Inquiring minds want to know. (Have you got a banana number two yet? Poor banana, having to go away...) | ||

did you not realise that you shared these views/characteristics with Pat until you heard them criticised by Matt? or did hearing the criticism polarise your views? did Matt realise that you were similar to Pat in this way? did Matt think he was being complimentary or positive towards Pat? indifferent? | ||

New member Username: Galfisk Post Number: 3760 Registered: 9-2009 |
did you not realise that you shared these views/characteristics with Pat until you heard them criticised by Matt? FA (see below), but otherwise correct. or did hearing the criticism polarise your views? No. did Matt realise that you were similar to Pat in this way? FA again. Pat and Matt (which is the title of a hilarious TV show btw) share the same view/characteristic which is contrary to mine. did Matt think he was being complimentary or positive towards Pat? No. indifferent? No. | ||

Would be a member of the group: - person who has many friends? - person who has a few close friends? - person who easily contacts with people? - person who gets on well with everybody? - person who likes to go out with people? Was the comment along the lines of: "A doesn't like me, B doesn't like Pat" - which made you realize that you are liked by everybody? | ||

This! - person who likes to go out with people? Was the comment along the lines of: "A doesn't like me, B doesn't like Pat" - which made you realize that you are liked by everybody? ***SPOILER*** Matt said, about Pat: "We don't get along." I tried to put myself in his shoes, and found that the feeling of not getting along with someone was foreign to me. I had never thought about it, but it seems that I get along with everyone I know. I did not when I was young, but I guess I've grown up (: Good work all! |
