The Dilemma of the Believer

Re: Frank Apisa (Post 5287860)
Saint Frank, the patron saint of internet civility. If you don't pretend to know what i'm like, what my life is like, you just expose who vicious and hateful you are, taking the opportunity to sneer and smear. I'm surprised you don't choke on your own bile.

Do you admit then, that you don't know what i'm like, that you don't know anything about my life?

Here is what I see on-line (which is the only "you" I can know):

I see an angry, quick-to-take-offence, vulgar, insulting, demeaning, contemptuous, petty individual who apparently enjoys engaging people he considers his inferiors in order to call them out on their inability to meet his exacting standards. You are quick to insult, demean, and show exaggerated contempt for the many people who supposedly rile you. (I guess I left out "mean-spirited")

If you are not that kind of person in non-cyber life...if you are kind, not unhappy, and not easily offended...if you are not contemptuous of the people around you...if you are not the kind of person who would speak with as much disdain as you regularly do here on-line...

...then you are a coward who speaks this way because you know that on-line nobody can kick your ass for your rudeness.



You are correct in one regard, Setanta: I do not know which of these people you are. Why don't you inform us.

Oh, and i'd love to see you attempt to kick my ass. You're a typical internet hero, who talks big when you know your ass won't have to cash the checks your mouth is writing.

Naw, you're the one who brought it up Saint Frank, when you characterized me as a coward. But that was all in aid in your perpetual and pathetic attempt to make me angry. You don't have rhetorical skills, you don't have logic on your side, you have no intelligence to deploy, so you just avoid criticisms by being hateful, by saying vicious things. It's kind of sad to contemplate how little you have going for you.

No, if you hadn't shot off your big, nasty mouth about cowards, the subject would never have come up.

Re: Frank Apisa (Post 5287893)
See, that's what constitutes a snide remark. I commented on the drivel you had posted earlier, so i didn't start an argument. You decided to come in here with your typical sneers and snide remarks, and you have never attempted to defend what you posted--you just went immediately into insult mode.

So you see, the thing is, you don't debate me. You'll never best me in a debate, because you don't do that, you just make personal remarks in the hope of creating a response which you can use to claim i'm angry. I know, you don't have anything else going for you. You're a sad case, Bubba.

You would know the playground better than i, Frank, it's your milieu. Basically, you're just a sorry old man with fossilized opinions which you cannot defend, so you rely on being a provocateur, you just post insults and sneers in the hope of getting a rise out of someone. It really must suck to be you. Glad that's not me.

Re: Frank Apisa (Post 5287923)
You know that i'm "a sad, angry, disgruntled person?" Or are you just pretending to know what you don't in fact know? You're displaying weakness, right?

Whatever you say, Bubba, it seems to be really important to you.

Sure you will, sneers and smears are all you've got going for you. You don't ever debate me, you just attempt to insult me.

Sure, Bubba, whatever you say.

OK, Bubba, if you say so.
