They seem like a reasonable bunch.

Of course we are


Some of us simply have a low threshold on the bulls--t-o-meter.

Alternatively, take that sentence to mean "Some of us don't like to hear stuff we don't agree with, so we stick our fingers in our ears and ignore them".

Some of us don't like to hear windbags, so we stick our fingers in our ears and ignore them...

What a pity then as a nation you didn't do the same when Bush started with his crap!

Two points!

So, now you know my stance on the NRA, what's your beef with them?

If it makes a difference, I try to ignore him, too

Hang on, you're American, right? Then why would anyone in the world give a t*ss about whether you think they're a jackass? Your 'opinions' are simply the result of random synapses firing in the vaccuum between your ears.

That's your best answer and come back. It's not even coming close to addressing what Kraj said. You come back with one of your typical American slams rather than actually addressing it? It's not as much fun to play with someone who can out match you, uh? You let me know yesterday I was no match for you. Your probably right, but then Kraj is a different story, so have fun.

When you re-establish your IQ at a level a bit higher than the 'sleeps with his sister' and 'they should all be shot' comments we'll talk...

So your group, consisting of you, one presumes, doesn't happen to to agree with the whole world. But of course /you're/ right, and they're all wrong. Okay, no probs, I got it.

Saying that 'conventional wisdom' supports your argument is like saying 'God is on my side' when going to war. It's worthless because it is an argument from authority. Try building some of your own arguments and take responsibility for them when they fail.

The sky is still blue even if no-one cared if it wasn't. Much like your supposed jack-assed nature.

I communicated, you misinterpreted. QED.

A simple case of cause and effect. Bad communication causes mis-interpretation. QED indeed.

D'oh, more random synapses... I 'cared' to point out that you misinterpreted something. The fact that you /did/ misinterpret it is, as I pointed out, tough sh*t.

Perhaps a little more 'care' in your communication would be in order. Prevention is better that cure, as they say.

Sort of like "You're a retard. Oh, but I was only kidding" ? Problem with that hypothesis is that I don't overly care how you feel about it.

I think we're getting to the root of the problem here. Your lack of care, it seems.

I can't be bothered to play pedant by pointing out the numerous innacuracies of your own diatribes.

Indeed, why would you care to?

I'm afraid the mere fact that I believe it to be true means you're unlikely to change my mind simply by whining about it.

If whining is so reprehensible to you, why do you do so much of it?

 

[Kraj]

It won't be long before this gets boring, but I'm not quite there yet.

....

Actually, I got about half way through and got bored. Your crap, nomorehype, has ceased to be entertaining and is not even the tiniest bit challenging to respond to. I mean, you've given me nothing to work with here. For as many posts as you've managed to spew out in such a short period, you've managed to avoid being the slightest bit interesting. You're just beligerant. *Yawn*

I'll finish up with a portion of the reponse I had been working on, and then I'll most likely just ignore you:

It was quite apparent from the first time you opened your mouth that you don't give a damn what anyone thinks, especially Americans and especially someone like me. It's just that, in my experience, more often than not when I think someone is behaving like a total ass, the majority of the people here are in agreement with me. I certainly have my moments when I'm less-than level-headed, but I've been complimented on my ability to be reasonable, intelligent and rational by just about every regular poster here (from all over the world, not just the U.S.) at one time or another.

So, though by no means do I speak for everyone here but I am fairly confident that even those here who agree with your general sentiment agree with my opinion on your poor behavior. And if you don't give a toss what anyone here thinks, then why exactly are you even posting here?

Oh, and by the way... I deleted my post as soon as I saw you and Dan had agreed to drop it. That's what a reasonable person does. You could have easily done the same, but you'd rather perpetuate a conflict. No moral high ground for you, I'm afraid.

EDIT: Dan, that response was absolutely delicious.

awww, you just gettin' tetchy. Twas nuttin' more to take notice of than the guy from CHiPS

It's a bit like playing with a half-dead mouse...

Just trying to entertain the troops whilst Rich and Col are in the bed

Now *this* is interesting. I'm happy to confess to being new here, so maybe I read the rules wrong. Are you suggesting that the reason d'etre of this forum is only to score 'points' from each other, so that one person wins and another loses purely based on their ability to deride their opponents argument? Damn, you should have /said/ - I'd have put more effort into the posts! I thought we merely exchanged views...
But anyway, as for your point, I react as I find. Ad hominem attacks were posted /to/ me some time before they came /from/ me.

 

[Kraj]

ROFL....

Just to add to the sheer hilarity of it all, I present to you, ladies and gentlemen, normorehype's first post:

You haven't? Perhaps you haven't been looking very hard then. Here's an example, I didn't look too far for it, just a couple of posts away from your own.

...

"All we have to do is click our fingers..." Now I know you chaps aren't exactly renowned for your sensitivity, but I'm reasonably confident even the Merkin mentality is strong enough to work out that a Brit would find that comment extremely offensive.

Gee, don't be so touchy. I mean, dan-cat wasn't intentionally offensive. It's not his fault if you interepreted it that way...

 

[Rich]

It's a bit like playing with a half-dead mouse...

Mrs Bush would know all about that

 

[Kraj]

Damn, Rich, you're on a roll today!

See the funny thing here is that what Shane is saying is that you're not exchanging ideas, all you are doing is trying to score points. It's interesting how you're trying to turn it around on him.

I also find it hilarious that you claim to be victimized by ad hominem attacks when the post you made which prompted me to respond was one big, ad hominem attack.

Thanks for kicking the entertainment factor back up a notch!

 

[Rich]

Nah, he's just an American

 

[KenHigg]

Yeah - The Chips thing should have thrown up the big red flag of just how smart a bloke you are huh...

Is the 'tetchy' thing some kind of UK slang?

 

[Kraj]

Mmmm.... you're slipping. Sorry, just wasn't up to par, Rich. Care to try again?
