[QUOTE="Teflon Billy, post: 1294987, member: 264"] Good question. The answer is for someone to read a post of mine that says "generally speaking; women are like this..." and not react as if I said "Generally speaking; women are like this [i]because[/i]..." Look at Barsoomcore's post, I'll quote it here... See, he goes on and on for an entire paragraph--ostensibly responding to a post of mine--without touching on any point I made. But he at least finishes up with... ...which, to my mind, at least shows that he knows--and admits--that he didn't address anything I had said. He got to ruminate on the specialness and uniqueness of each human being. It's nice. It makes you look good to self-styled Iconoclasts. However, to do it by way of quoting my posts first and pretending you are countering something I've said is cheap and ennobling rhetoric. Let's take a look at your post, the one I said was irrelevant... You chose to list a bunch of points about social conditioning vs. genetic predisposition to which I replied that the causes were not relevant to my post. The kind of response I would consider to be relevant would be one that said something like "You are totally, 100% right Billy ;) " Seriously, the kind of response I would consider to be relevant is one that addressed what I said, as opposed to one that uses my post as a jumping off point for refutation of points I didn't make.
