Prop 8 OverturnedFollow

That works.

Which is more than I can say about certain people's lines of reasoning.

That's not algebra. That's first grade addition. You could train a dog to do it.



And that's geek gibberish. It's nonsensical, inappropriately angsty and based on some error in your comprehension which made you rant about FFXI posters on Allakhazam. It came from nowhere and indicated a lack of coolness in you. A real distinct absence of awesome. That's the very fUcking definition of geek gibberish, a term I invented earlier today and which you now practice alone.

Hehe, I don't know why, but that geek gibberish thing really gets under your inferior skin.



Huh? So your point was that grammar is a thing, and you fail at something less difficult like maybe spelling? Weird point. I can help, though, with your spelling. Repetition is key, homie.

Fixed.

This thread is giving me a headache.

Back on topic, the proponents have 3 more days to file an appeal. Gay marriage resumes in CA as of the 18th, unless the 9th circuit opts to bump it up to the top of the docket and issue the stay despite the decision by Judge Walker and the request of the State of CA (which really has no interest in wasting more money on this, being in such massive state debt and all.)

I can't explain an example until I give you one, so you'd have to say "give an example and explain it"
So here's an example with explanation:
There's no turning the table except maybe in your world, BT is just making fun of you and you don't even seem to get what he's saying half the time.
It took you quite a few posts to figure out that you used "repetition" instead of "reputation" if you've actually figured that out yet, I'm not entirely sure. You didn't really seem to get that BT was making fun of you with that.

You also constantly twist and turn what you're arguing about so it's almost impossible to get what the **** you're talking about each post.
It might be easier to follow if you took the time to form coherent sentences, read over your posts a few times before posting them probably helps you get rid of the messed up sentences.

What Joph said.

I'm not going to argue further with you Alma, have fun in your reverse world delusions.
And take some ******* English classes please. You desperately need them.

His phrase was poorly worded, but none of your logic is sound, and all most of your posts contain numerous spelling, grammar, and phrasing errors.

edited for me actually reading through.

I'm nowhere near perfect at English but at least I don't make mistakes like "He probably still haven't figured that out".
And English isn't even my native language.




Oh and for the record, your posts never made sense, It's not an "all of a sudden" thing.
If you read what people posted here you would have seen quite a few that say that you're not making sense.

In all honesty, and I'm seriously not trying to be an ***, here is the problem as I see it:

A thread is created and Alma posts in it with a point, statement, or argument that I disagree with. When I engage him with it, he runs roughshod over the entire thing, pointing out semantics and over arcing tangents that either have been already discussed, the meaning of which is already agreed upon or understood, or are largely irrelevant to the point at hand. You can't stay on the topic of the discussion, because he insists on pulling it around to this or that avenue. When you try to drag the conversation back to the point, kicking and screaming, he insists that you have to defend a point that he has made up, or your argument is not valid. Just like Samira said, it's how he will dominate and control a conversation. And she's absolutely right, there's no point in engaging in a discussion because it ends up being ridiculous and pointless.

For my part, I try to stay strong and not engage, but sometimes a post seems so glaringly wrong I can't help myself. Then I feel obligated to stay in the dance and I get caught up in the pointless branches for far too many pages, thinking I can somehow get my point across. I'm never really sure if I do or not, though, because Alma has a tendency to find some random point that he disagrees with and latch onto that. At first, I think, "Once I can explain this part to him, he'll get what I'm saying and we can get back to the meat of it." But that doesn't happen. So, seeing no end in sight, I will finally bow out.

Yes, his grammar and spelling can sometimes be bad, but I can usually figure out what he's saying. Honestly, we can all have issues with that. I think the biggest problems are that he's rather condescending at times (i.e. "that's not what's going on here. See if you can figure out why." If you disagree, then say why you disagree. If you think a point is wrong, say why it's wrong. It's something that always makes me roll my eyes at gbaji, too) and talks to you like you are a child, and that I can't figure out his thought processes to see beyond a point he makes (i.e. "we can figure out why same-sex marriage is illegal if we look at why our government got involved in marriage in the first place." That makes no sense to me).

There's my two cents. It's probably not helpful, but oh well.
