What's your gender?

Alas, it is life. I've been engaged in heated arguments before (and they were great), but this was nowhere near heated. I was having a lot of fun exchanging ideas among intellectuals, but hey, different strokes...

Basically they're all simple lines that he memorized and has been recycling like a robot since junior high.

ok now your starting with the personal attacks which isnt nice n does bring about bad feeling, which is probably better avoided. plus dont knock power rangers i used 2 love it!! about 10 years ago thoug hehe

this is just ridiculous. when did i say i "transcended"? i tried to exit the discussion nicely, and you dragged it on. so i became curt, and now you insult me, painting some ridiculous picture of a person you don't know a thing about. are you so proud for "winning"?

in all honesty i don't even know what we were talking about anymore. i said you were being overly negative about women, and you turned it into a run off debate. you're right, i don't like arguing, it gives me no particular pleasure, and as such i generally spend more time listening than talking. so that makes you somehow better than me?

if it floats your boat, find someone to throw egos at that enjoys it as much as you, and please get off my ass.

Actions speak louder than words. Your "exercise in futility" and "too long didn't read" statements were extremely pompous and assonine.

When you're in an argument and you are throwing stones, make sure you don't live in a glass house.

My main purpose was to taunt him into coming back. The way he arrogantly left the discussion with so much as "im offically leaving... you two carry on." It's belittling and he should learn better ways to resolve an argument rather than back out with passive animosity. It's okay to say, "I was wrong." Just own up to it. Don't persist on living by blind pride.

i wasn't wrong, i was BORED. to be honest i was about ready to call YOU a pompous ass, but i decided not to be so rude. i may have some issues, but noone's perfect, and it seems to me you may have just a few of your own. you really enjoy riling people up, don't you? keep it up and i can start calling you a troll.

ok before this conversation had a point, now its just plain ridiculous maybe u both just just agree to dissagree and let bygones be bygones because neither of you are goin to give up.

your both rite and wrong if kermit wants to leave the conversation then let him its a free world he can do wot he wants and if he wants to be pompus let him equally if ghostman wants to be arsy and wants to argue his points then so be it


i dont mean to send so upright and self rightcous but please dont you both think you r goin a bit far now?

i still don't think i was being in any way pompous. i was being blunt, and a little rude with the "tldr", but not pompous. i never claimed to be better than him, and i never put him beneath me, he just made that up hoping i would come back and say something stupid.

yeah but maybe u just gave off the vibes that u were putting him beneath u and thought u were better than him. its difficult to get over what people really mean on a message board

if he was confused then he could have said "do you think you're better than me?" and i could have repeated "wth are you talking about? i just don't want to talk about this anymore!" anyways, i guess we really can move on now.

in response to the topic, i'm male :P
