Yeah, geez, Frink.  Haven't you learned by now that if you or anybody or anything or any idea ever has any kind of conflict or problem or disagreement with twooffour, the problem is never him, it's you.  Always, always, always, always you.  Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever him.  Geez, it's SO OBVIOUS! 

Wherever you got that idea from, Gaff.

Speaking of unintentional irony (once more, duh), here's a question:
You're having a debate with somebody, and your opponent bluntly tells you that you're wrong.
Which is the more pleasant thought, that he just happens to treat you this way because of the specifics of the discussion, or that he treats everyone like this, independent of the specifics, at all times?

Which one rather conveniently excludes the possibility (in your mind) that the "problem" may, at least partially, be on your part?

Yep, you're right.  It is "easier" to believe the person is just always like that, regardless of the situation.  But considering that pretty much everyone who has weighed in in this thread has come to the exact same conclusion, independently, through individual conversations with you... doesn't that tend to make you wonder if maybe, just maybe, that at least some of the problem lies with you?  Or are you the one who would rather take the more pleasant thought?
