Diddums. Everything I said that obviously hurt your feelings was just a comment on the standard of your posting, if you don't want to hear those kind of comments then I think you should try contributing at a higher standard.

No, it's a collection of the juvenile insults you seem to think pass for an argument.

You "win" at arguments by shouting down and insulting other posters, with little to no regard for their responses, it's just another chance for you to belittle and attack them. I'm tired of putting up with your crap.

So, you're right. Congrats.

If you can't win on the facts, insult the opposition.

If you won't even acknowledge the facts, and repeatedly assert that they are different than they actually are, how do you expect people to react?

But I wasn't just giving insults. This is obvious just from reading what's been written. You made a number of mistakes, and I pointed these out. You've decided to read these as attacks because that's easier for you than conceding you were making a lot of mistakes.

Which, again, is part of the problem.


I'm not looking to "win" at the internet. I'm looking to make what I hope are interesting posts with some points to consider, and hoping to read the same from other posters. You came into this thread trying to attack people for having a laugh at a guy who claimed 3% of spending was 90% of spending, and things have gone downhill for you from there. The way to change what's happened is to improve your posting standards, read other people's posts, look to respond to what they've written.

In every thread when you're presented with a dissenting opinion that references your cognitive dissonance and double standards you call people out on it. Of course its insulting to you. They are pointing out a flaw. That doesn't invalidate it. They aren't somehow juvenile for pointing out that you're posting to a much lower standard then is seemingly expected of you. Cheer up. He's trying to get you to actually interface with your beliefs and understand them a tad better. If you were lordhat or even frazzled I doubt he would put the effort forth.

I'd try with lordhat, and expect more success. I have tried with fraz in the past.

T'would seem then, surprise surprise, that something of an impasse has been reached here. I'm sure we've all learnt a lot .

About like morals, taking care of the planet, not stealing and taking unsolicited advice from a man who lies to his friends and family constantly, wears furry underpants and boots and rides a cat into battle. Or something.
