[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1732660, member: 2205"] Actually, no, he didn't do that. I'm not sure where you're going with this. If you're [i]not[/i], as you seem to be saying below, advocating tolerance of the worst kind of social inadequacy at your table, what are you arguing about? Are you not saying the same thing then? Well, that's a dubious honor. It's not so much a really popular article as an obscure article that he happens to believe in. In which case I have no idea why you're arguing with him, and telling him things like "if you're complaining about it, you must be the worst kind of cat piss man out there." That's not even dodgy logic, that's no logic at all. That's merely a personal attack, and in light of your supposed agenda of intolerance, it makes no sense whatsoever. Why are you so defensive, that you'll jump to unsupported and unsupportable conclusions to shout him down, without even addressing his points, then? All of which is going... where again? Your entire argument, as near as I can tell, is "I don't like your attitude, so I bet [i]you're[/i] cat piss man, and anybody you don't like is probably someone I will like, i.e., I'm rubber and you're glue, etc. ad nauseum." If the substance of your argument is actually something different than I'm understanding from that distillation, please spell it out for me again in plainer English; somehow I'm missing it. See, yet again, instead of actually [i]addressing[/i] the argument proposed (wow, what a concept!) you merely decide to meaninglessly insult the other guy by calling him a nerd. I've seen better arguments from my children. I mean, are you seeing where we're losing you here? [/QUOTE]
