Hmm. I'll have to think about this one for a bit, Frinky. On the one hand, you're absolutely right. Twooffour is probably one of the most obstinate, delusional, arrogant, annoying, convinced-of-his-own-infallibility people I've ever had the displeasure of communicating with since my ex-fiancee, and considering that she just sent me a half-assed "apology" accompanied by a long, rambling letter of why she was still, in spite of that, completely right and justified about everything anyway... wait, what were we talking about again?
Oh, yeah. On the other hand, yes, I've already long since stopped bothering to communicate with him. Makes me feel all icky inside. But I admit I do get some jollies in watching people like Frink and Mrebo debate with him and watching the hijinks ensue and the crazy rationalizing come out of his keyboard. It will be a shame to see that go away, although I can understand why Frink has finally thrown up his arms and decided it wasn't worth the effort, since, as I just said, I went through the same process.
So all of that said... I'm not sure if I'll take the pledge of not. But I'm certainly leaning in favor of it. =P
"and considering that she just sent me a half-assed "apology" accompanied by a long, rambling letter of why she was still, in spite of that, completely right and justified about everything anyway."
What, are you lesbian?
Anyway, what a laughable post.
Questions like who in a debate is delusional, "convinced" of (rather than witnessing) their own "infallibility" (or should I say, correctness in a given situation), or "rationalizing" (rather than being rational and making sense) - are decided with, guess what? ARGUMENTS.
If you think someone is delusional or wrong, you should MAKE A CASE for that.
Now I don't remember our last argument, but I'm pretty sure I've made lots and lots of cases against your points and tactics - tons of unintentional irony, hypocrisy, failure to comprehend a post, and and and.
You haven't managed to do ANY of that, in fact you've always got lost and lost track, while getting terribly pissed and abusive (far more than myself at the time).
So for you to sit here, backed up by the false security of other users nodding at your post in agreement, and make empty claims about my fallacies and thought failures, means, precisely... dick.
Anyone can say "you're wrong and delusional lol" - far less can actually make a case for that without looking like buffoons themselves (and failing to make the case while at it).
Pick any of our exchanges, I'll most probably do just that - I know because I already have.
