[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 6260934, member: 2205"] Oh, I disagree. You play games quite well. You throw out phrases that are [I]only[/I] used pejoratively, and then claim that the obvious inference of what you said isn't really what you said at all. You in fact, call such a strawman, even though I deliberately explained my reasoning and asked for you to confirm what you in fact meant so that it could in no way be interpreted as a strawman. And then you drop all kinds of passive aggressive swipes about "semantic games" in several posts in a row rather than simply answer my questions, or even attempt to engage me. You even claim that in a direct response to me, that you weren't even talking to me after all. See, in the real world of real conversations that are meaningful and interesting? All of those things are called "playing games." And they're seriously annoying when you're expecting real conversations that are meaningful, interesting and engaging. [/QUOTE]
