Because you like to stir the water and tend to get into it with just about everyone.
Ok, so why did you stir the water in my "4th Parts" thread, if you think this is so bad?
I wasn't talking about a "reason", I was talking about "justified reason not based on a hypocrisy", and, well, have a look at the previous sentence.
you mentioned that arguing with people on forums is stress relief for you, for most people it isn't
Well I'm not going to argue with scientific studies, but there may be a misunderstanding here:
I'm pretty sure that "arguing about meaningless stuff", or watching movies, or whatever else, is a form of stress relief / escaping from reality for "most people".
It's certainly not the only component, and neither is it for me - but I certainly welcome an opportunity to get into a flamewar, if one offers itself (as one did by yourself a few days ago).
So if we can say that arguing about things that are entertaining and rewarding, is a form of "entertainment", and flaming around about who the bigger douche is, is "stress relief" and ego fapping, then... what have you (pl) been doing the last 5 days? :p
Nobody likes to see things get heated in a discussion just because someone compared the "silly fun" of The Phantom Menace to the "silly fun" of The Men in Black.
Yea, but the unambiguous implication was that it served as a reason why the two movies were kinda equally good, which is pretty damn stupid.
Here's a subsequent post by a guy with an awesome track record joining in with a visibly shittier attitude than myself, telling me to "read more carefully" while it's obvious he hasn't done that himself. And oh, to be less OTT while I'm at it.
...
And I've seen plenty of people who "like" getting "heated" when someone claims the prequels to be on par with the title of this site, and cites some idiotic fanboyish reasons for that. Members of this board, of all, should know ;)
guys like Ziggy who wish you'd get banned are just unrighteous bullies with double standards. That answer should have been obvious to you, but due to some crossed wiring in your head or something, it isn't
But... I did say that Ziggy was an unrighteous bully with double standards! :PP
When you are in the right, it isn't normal to have this many people agitated at you.
It is, sadly, very "normal" both in real life and on the internet.
On the internet, maybe less normal on OT.com than on TFN.
But improbable things happen all the time, eh?
Although, I'm not sure, what in particular am I supposed to be "in the right" about?
You'd been arguing against my "warping of established definitions" for some time, but then we both calmed down, and suddenly what I'd been saying for days wasn't as preposterous anymore... ain't that nice :D
Don't you think just expressing your contrary opinion respectfully
I express it respectfully if I think the contrary opinion deserves respect. It often does, sometimes it doesn't.
Anything else would be dishonest.
