Quote:I just don't get your 'you state opinions as fact' thing. It makes no sense at all. I mean... one of the facets of your arguements with people (and I DO NOT just mean me! I read enough of your debates with other people to know that you act pretty much the same with other people once they 'annoy' you...) is how you are so sure that your opinions are the absolute truth and that the other person's are stupid and wrong! You do that SO OFTEN that hearing you of all people complaining about me not saying "IMO" is just silly and absurd... its the pot calling the kettle black, in short.
I did start doing that more often after having seen you do it for so long, but I have been trying to change that. You're not willing to do the same.
Quote:Except unlike you I don't insult people much at all.
Now that is a huge lie. You don't go out and call people "poopy face", but you always insult people's points of views whenever you're in a debate. Instead of saying "you're dumb" you'll say "I don't know how anyone with half a brain could think like you do", which is just a longer way of saying "you're dumb".
Quote:And as I've said a billion times, why does it matter if I say IMO or not in a discussion of videogames? Unless we're discussing Deer Hunter or something, most any opinion I have on a game is obviously an opinion... but to debate them you have to say that they can be argued, which requires arguing against opinions. I don't get your complaint here.
You don't have to add IMO to everything, you just have to stop acting as if your opinion were fact. Like when someone said that they liked goldfish crackers you didn't say "I hate those", you said "Those are terrible". Big difference there. If you can't tell the difference between those two statements then you have a real problem.
Quote:Reading the chatlog, I can see why you were confused... sorry, I just didn't want to go out and clearly say 'Bleakstare = Biggah' unless you'd figured it out already...
I don't care.
Quote:That just isn't true! You do that all the time! Or at least I can sure rememeber you acting like that in debates with others...
Only when someone annoys me, but that's usually just you and DJ.
Quote:No, that's because no one can actually find this place...
Even the people that know where this place is won't post because of these stupid debates!
Quote:Funny, I generally think that MSN chats are better and less contentious than post ones, most of the time...
"Most of the time"...
Quote:So because she doesn't want to get drawn into admittedly pointless arguements and doesn't see the value of defending what DJ calls 'just a point of comment that I want to make' DJ is childish?
I'd say that its just different... more annoying in many ways sure, but not 'bad'. Just different in a way that drives you nuts.
No, I don't care if DJ doesn't follow-up on her posts anymore, I just don't respect her for not being able to tell me directly when she has a problem with me. Going to someone else to talk badly about another person is extremely low.
And damnit, it's spelled ARGUMENT, not ARGUEMENT!!
