Will all spells be attacks?

[Rechan]

If someone keeps saying they disagre with you about something that's an objective matter of fact

Your opinion.

then you can only figure A) there's a miscommunication, or B) they are being willfully obtuse.

Because of course there's no room for disagreement.

The reaction was defensiveness and indignation, which indicates a chip that was on a shoulder long before I got there.

Cute, more ad hominem. There was no "defensiveness and indignation" in my original response, it only came after you started making accusations, inferences, with an insulting tone .

The way I see it, the point of an putting forth an arguement in a discussion forum isn't to win over an individual, but rather to make sure that the readers in general understand whose position has credibility and whose doesn't. Ask yourself if telling people you're just going to dig in your heels and disagree no matter what anyone says is a benefit or a detriment to one's credibility.

I'm not concerned about convincing anyone. And I don't see "credibility" on these boards. All these message boards are is opinion, and opinion about an edition that hasn't been released yet. So I'm concretely comfortable.

The reader is welcome to make up their mind on whatever. I am simply stating my opinion. And considering the insulting tone you've taken, I'm not going to be continuing this. Especially given how "argumentative" I apparently am.

Though I will say for someone who throws around "argumentative", you seem pretty insistent on arguing the point even after you've made your case.

It takes two to tango.

Both of you, quit your bickering, please.
