Racist, funny or who cares?Follow

I honestly questioned myself on keeping that sentence in there 3 or 4 times because I knew you would respond with that, but I gave you credit to believe that you would at least respond to the rest of the post. /sigh, I guess I was wrong.

The point I was focusing on was the following:







I didn't expect you to list any examples because you would just respond with "You don't get it", "You don't get it", which would just keep us in this circle. I only gave you an opportunity if you felt so bold about something. Just as you refused to explain your earlier contradiction, you could have stated your opinion and not explained it. You chose not to simply because you have nothing, given that you still responded to my post.

When there are posters on a thread who disagree with each other, but are not debating each other, only me, then what do you call that?


All you or anyone else have said is "You fail to comprehend a basic point", which is a whole lot like saying "You're misunderstanding me". Yet, somehow me saying that makes me stupid, but when you say it, it makes you right. You haven't provided anything that I haven't already provided to the discussion. As a result, this is nothing more than a "You don't agree with me, therefore you are stupid". I can just as equally say "you don't understand the most basic point". Does that some how now make me right and you wrong?

It's not an "inability" on everyone else to understand. People understand my points. I've learned that people either A) don't actually read all of my posts and then respond or B) trolling.

Most of the time, when we're engaged in a circular thread, it's because of one of the two reasons. Posters openly admit all of the time of not reading my posts, so how can you turn around and believe that they "understand" my point if they didn't even read it?

Once posters have actually read my posts, the topic typically dies off quickly in comparison. Take for example, me and Sir X in this thread. We both misunderstood each other, but once we understood each other, it was over.

In the remaining amount of times, the posters are just trolling because people choose to react that way to me.

Other posters probably don't like to argue as much as I do. If I have the time, I will almost always debate about it. Internet forums are one of the few places where I'm guaranteed to find something worth arguing about. I've learned that people I know don't always like arguing about stuff.

So, I'll spend 20 pages debating about something while others might just give up and say "eff it". Add in the trolls, the people who generally disagree and the people who just respond for the sake of responding and you have your answer.

Their words not mine.

Besides, I said most of the time, not all of the time. You asked why "my" threads are the way they are, long and drawn out. There are many times where someone is wrong, succumbs and it's the end of the topic, but that's not the majority reason nor what you are referring to.

In reference to circular threads, which was your concern, it's drawn out typically because people admit to not reading or they are trolling. That's not to say there aren't any confusion involved, but that is the minority for why the topic is drawn out the way it is.

Alma, not many people here are actually debating with you. We're wasting time. This is a message board where most people visit while they have some downtime at work.

Read above.



That's the thing. It isn't a "problem" for anyone, yet you are trying to paint the scenario as if there is one. I state a position, someone disagrees. I don't agree with their position, S/he doesn't agree with my position. That's how debates commonly operate. There isn't a "problem". There are factors of people not reading, misreading or misunderstanding, but that's all common in debates as well.

Other posters probably don't like to argue as much as I do. If I have the time, I will almost always debate about it.

Let's see.

1. I don't create arguments that I don't believe to stir emotions, so I'm not a troll.

2. "People who generally disagree" is applicable to everyone as we all don't agree on everything.

3. I may argue for the sake of arguing, but I have my points and bring my arguments. They are not "+1's" just to say things like "Is this thread still going on?", "Wow, I haven't read anything in this thread," "I don't want to know what's going on.", etc.

So, to answer your question, no, it doesn't describe me.

It was a "yes" or "no" sort of thing. Or, as I said, you just talk too much.

He likes to repeat himself. Copying and pasting arguments from 3 pages back and reusing them again. He always assumes we missed it and needed to be shown again, which is funny because if we missed it the first time, we're probably not going to read it the 2nd time either. Or, more likely, we disregarded it as dribble the first time and will do the same 2nd time around. It's possible he's dumb enough to do this thinking we'll care the 2nd time around, but I think in all honesty, he's just doing as everyone else, responding for the sake of it.

Wow, I'm glad I'm not reading this thread. You'd think that with THIS many posts, there's actually be some drama in here.
