gosh, you guys are so cute..........

you are all frequenting an internet message board. the only purpose of its existence is to foster discussion. i have come here many a time in the past year or so and nobody is talking about anything interesting at all...... the whole lot of you tend to just circle jerk about how you're all super and you all think the same thing about most everything.......

the vast majority of individuals on this message board are not actually saying anything at all. verbal diarrhea. and then along comes Mr. Devils Advocate, and you don't know how to handle it....other than continue to insult me in some odd hope that i'll leave you alone? dude...it's an internet message board...you're free to come and go as you please...you're all here of your volition.

Strangle them with a sock and put em outta their misery?

Wow, this is the single most surprising and out-of-character post you've ever made. I'm genuinely shocked. Here was me thinking you'd ignore anyone who had expressed enough interest in your posts to want to discuss them further and go on another rant about how stupid everyone is, but no, you haven't, you've responded eloquently and concisely not shirked one iota from answering any legitimate query anyone may have had. I am impressed. Well done. Have a biscuit.

If you have no answer to the multiple rebuttals, except to simply stamp your feet and repeat your reductionist assertions ad nauseum, then just say so.

If you do have the name of anyone who has at anytime, anywhere, in any way given the arguement you are supposedly rebutting, then please post it.

please please will you two put them both on ignore? it's like watching nureyev do the hokey cokey.

That's what they want. They won't get it.

i had assumed that what they want is to fill this forum with their asinine brand of logical reductio ad absurdum, and entertaining them has never done anything but accomplish that.

They'll do it anyway. If I don't respond to them, someone else will. I figure if anyone's going to take them on, it should be me, because I won't back down.

oho. flaming sword, huh.

well, i have more fun reading you when you're not fighting the same battle over and over. it's funny sometimes how indignant they get and what you make them say, but there's only so much mileage you can get out of their tired, TIRED TIRED TIRED bullshit.

Well, the fact that it seems to be irrelevant to them what you say, and that they're so good at selectively ignoring the bits they don't have answers for, is kinda funny to me. Mainly, I want other people to see. A lot of people don't seem to be up to arguing with them, and the problem is that they'll always choose to take on them rather than people who know their script and how to avoid it. I just like making it obvious, that's all.

oh, it's obvious. when they make threads, the threads are stupid. stupid people post in them. i don't want my stupid marbled with indignant clever people yelling WHY ARE YOU ALL SO STUPID?

I dunno. As I say, they're very selected with who they take on. If those people were clever, they'd know not to bother calling them stupid.

huh? *falls down hole marked 'UNSUBSCRIBE'*

Oh, that was meant to say "selective". Basically, people who call them stupid every time they make a thread like this may well be intelligent, and quite often make a valid point while insulting them, but they can't be that smart. If you're going to call them stupid, there's no point in making the valid point, because all they'll do is focus on being called stupid and reduce it to another bout of liberal bashing.

right, and that always happens. i just don't read the threads unless i really want to get depressed watching people tie their opposite shoelaces together.
