I likened his response to that of an 11 year old girl. Likening something with something else is NOT the same as labeling something as something else. It's so clear, yet you refuse to give up - to the pathetic extent to which you call me a liar.
So now i'm pathetic. you're a very reactionary person, aren't you.
What i find most pathetic is that you did, quite obviously (and this is what frustrates me) and BLATANTLY, call him an 11 year old girl.
don't turn this on me - you said it, you defend it.
You seem to think that I'm hiding it or trying to cover it up. The fact is, you don't know anything about me. I'm not the kind of person who runs and hides from things. Why the hell would I be afraid to admit something on an internet forum? In fear that some prick is going to cry at me?
I don't know who you are but the impression you've left on me through this recent course of events is not a positive one.
I don't know why, i don't know how. all i know is what is written in front of me. and that is you saying one thing and doing another.
While I generally have no problem with you, your persistence in telling me I'm a liar based on NO fact and simple an opinion is pushing me. I don't even have a problem with Coventrysucks, I just think he needs to take more care when speaking to people he doesn't know.
I agree CovSucks is a very abrupt person who does not tolerate fools lightly. And i don't have a problem with you either. i have a problem, however, when you choose to be petty and non-constructive with your comments.
I'll tell you once again, I'm not the kind of person who sits on his ass and simply accepts blatant rudeness and disrespect - even from someone on the other side of the globe.
And fair enough too. but you've not gone about things in the right way.
the best revenge is to prove your argument without name calling.
Now I'm not going to sit down and once again rebut everything you have said, because to be honest with you, most of it is rubbish anyway.
For example, I said that the inference you used as a proof was grossly incorrect. So you respond with "are you telling me you wrote a gross inference?". That doesn't make sense.
Sure it does. I used your comment as proof. then you tell me my proof is a Gross Inference.
This is first year debating stuff.
I refuse to waste time responding to that caliber of rubbish, no offense.
None taken. but one man's trash is another's treasure.
What's even worse is that your whole argument is based on your subjective opinion, which is that I'm lying - and you refuse to believe otherwise. That kind of attitude renders the argument useless anyway.
I'll refuse to believe otherwise when you admit that you said what you did. at the moment all i see written in front of me is that comments were taken out of context and have been grossly inferred. no personal responsibility at all.
I stand behind calling you a liar because i mean it. and i'll back that even if i'm proven wrong (which believe me, when it comes to someone who's opinion i generally respect, i'm happy to be wrong) but at the moment nothing is coming through to change my mind.
I'm going to be away for the next 3 days - so I'm not going to have the opportunity to continue this argument immediately. But so far, It's been interesting and dare I say entertaining. I've been attacked by two moderators, one of whom thinks that an actively racist-hating Brit was surprised by the existence of racism, and the other who had the story upside-down, admitted error and resorted to simply calling me a liar. Good times
So you've been ATTACKED by two moderators. nice way to shift any responsiblity for the issue off yourself.
And you leave the debate with simple name calling - not only that but some pretty severe comments which i hope to god you can back up because calling someone naive is a pretty big call.
It strikes back, in fact to my original issue. you calling someone a name and then not backing it up. If your going to do it thats fine, but have the guts to state why and give evidence as such. otherwise you've learnt nothing from out little chat.
As for my argument - you can break it down any which way you like, the fact is you have not, in any shape or form, managed to fiddle with the language to prove my point wrong.
Good times indeed, and i hope you have a pleasant time away
