can't we just be like mature adults

Buddy, I spend most of my time around kids, getting to carry on conversation with mature adults is something I always really look forward to on evenings and weekends. The way you behave doesn't make me feel like I am among adults, it makes me feel like I am on high school detention duty, because that is the only other place I've come across behavior quite like yours. Even the nastiest of drunks I've encounter are far more pleasant than you.

You seem like a typical angsty, know it all teenager who can't see beyond his own opinions. Probably a college freshman, if I had to guess.

Actually, I take that back, I don't hate yours - your recent posts on this topic were awesome :D

Don't you see how ridiculous that is? Just because you happen to agree with what I am saying, my post is "awesome". If you happened to disagree with it, then you'd be telling me what a dunce I am.

I said it's awesome because it's well articulated, and backed up.
I wouldn't say this about a "yo, you know how tings are in Saudi Aravia, those are all crackpots man", even though I'd agree with its core message.

EDIT:
You know bloody well that I've never called you a dunce simply for "disagreeing", so quit pretending otherwise.

Your guess is correct!

Actually, I'm pretty pleasant when I'm drunk. As well as sober.

You seem to be confusing the "yelling, cursing and shaking fists around" kind of "nasty" usually ascribed to drunks, with the "smartass who likes to substantiate why other people are stupid" kind of nasty - and you really shouldn't, because a drunk who's drunk enough to be distinguished as such, certainly wouldn't be able to maintain a coherent train of thought.

who can't see beyond his own opinions.

Don't get me started on "opinions" again.
If someone has a more or less well-substantiated opinion I disagree with, I'm usually pretty civil about it.

Claiming that I haven't read Frink's post, and then later denying you said that, isn't an "opinion", it's dishonesty.
Dissing me in my thread and then claiming I started it, is hypocrisy.
And I have a low tolerance for that.

Well our "arguments" aren't exactly adult conversations, they're pissing contests about who said what, and who the douche is.

I have no delusions about how childish that is, but that doesn't excuse you for being so sloppy and dishonest about it.

The way you behave doesn't make me feel like I am among adults

Arguing with you makes me feel like I'm talking to a dyslexic.

it makes me feel like I am on high school detention duty, because that is the only other place I've come across behavior quite like yours.

Claiming someone to be a moron without backing it up, not admitting your own mistakes i.e. (I hate to brag about it, but I had no problem with that Lost Fan-Edit thing, did I), are typical tactics that are considered "stupid" and "immature" on internet arguments of ANY kind, and are also frequently found in schoolyard bickerings between 8year olds.

Always remember, you have to be making sense on the internet - but that doesn't mean you can't be childish!
