Ummm...let's see. My only argument has been that I am not obligated to buy food from your snack bar. Not that I won't, not that people shouldn't...just that I'm not obligated to. That's the proposition that you've been arguing against. So if your argument is that I'm obligated to buy stuff from you whether or not I want it, how is it that you are not arguing that I owe you money? That's precisely what you are arguing.
In truth, you are becoming a bore (as well as a boor, which you've been from the beginning). You're also a bit out of your depth, as evidenced by your propensity to call names and assassinate character rather than just engage in debate. I will continue to respect your opinion when respect is due (and typically it is). Your person...well, that's another matter.
So now that you have lost the argument, you resort to outright lying....all the while doing precisely what you wrongly accuse me of....very nice, Skarp. You're better than that aren't you? If you can point to an instance where I have called names and assassinated anyone's character, please do so....or shut up.
First of all...I'm not going to "shut up." As I said before, browbeating is a tactic that works for you with other people. It won't with me. That said, let's inventory your comments shall we?
First post out of the gate: "
You people are frickin' amazing..." It's not enough for you to disagree with the arguments being made...you level a personal comment (for those new to English, "amazing" means stupid, classless, ignorant, or some combination of the above in this context).
Second post: You're argument is "stupid," your argument is "dumb," you don't know what you are talking about, your opinion is garbage because "you've never run a friendly." Aside from the fact that my argument isn't dependent upon knowledge of how to run friendlies--apparently the only thing you do know anything about--it again isn't enough for you to just make your own counter-arguments. You have to render judgments on me personally (which judgments, by the way, are made out of thin air...you don't know the first damn thing about me). If my reasoning is flawed, by all means point that out. But your constant need to belittle others as know-nothings and elevate yourself as some kind of guru are tired and pointless (not to mention fallacious--appeal to authority was categorized as an argumentative fallacy even before Aristotle walked the earth).
Third post: "You're whiner who has never actually done anything himself." "The people who have supported you are 10U posters (i.e., "idiots")." Apparently anyone who disagrees with you is stupid.
Fourth post: "Veterans are too busy laughing at
you to post a response." So the people who have posted in agreement with me are stupid...those who have remained silent of course support your position and are laughing at me. Any factual support for these claims? Of course not...you don't need any...you're a
veteran.
Sixth post: "Us veterans will console oursel[ves] with the wisdom that teams full of
people such as yourself get weeded out fairly quickly." People such as myself? What kind of people are those? You don't know me, and you don't know anything about me. You certainly don't know how much much money my team spends at snack bars, how we leave the dugout, how respectfully we conduct ourselves while attending friendlies, etc. The only thing you know about me is that I disagree with your opinion that you know how I should spend my money better than I do. I disagree with you, and
you can't have that. 'Cuz you're a veteran.
Personal slights as a substitute for sound argument are second-nature to you Sam. I don't think you even realize it when you do it. Don't worry...I'll let you know. Now swim along little one...see if you can make it back to the shallow end.
