I Say We Duke It Out!

I say there aren't any.

I say your bias makes you think there are, when there aren't.

However, if you can stand behind your accusation, and show me to be wrong, I'll admit it and apologize.

Vindictiveness and fervor....?

hey, I learned this stuff in the boyscouts hehe

If you think its OK to call me a fool, why don't i just point out that you are a total goddamned idiot, who relies on the horseshit they fed you in boyscouts. The grown ups here don't fall for that horseshit, but it doesn't surprise me that you do.

You have seen this from the exact same perspective as I have.

If I "think" I am an idiot. I am. Laughing

argumentative? you want argmentative? Twisted Evil

i think it likely that Rex was kidding, and Setanta over-reacted, but understandable in light of his assertion elsewhere that Christians lack a sense of humor. regardless, the 'hypothetical' defense is weakened by Setanta himself not claiming it when he responded to my post.

seriously, i have no bone to contend with you, timber. Laughing

You will have to learn that, to some, the focal point of their spiritual life is just as sacred--if not more --than their family.

Yes, and those people are known as religious fanatics. If someone believes in their god to the point where their family is second to that, I mean TRULY believes it, then their views are silly at best, and dangerous at worst.

Lash, you asked me how I arrived at that conclusion a bunch of pages back, and here's my answer.

My answer is that I think I overstated my point, and I am taking it back. Some people can put the spiritual over the tangible and be just fine. I don't feel like getting into a deep discussion today though, so I'll just say, okay, you win this one, Lash, and be done with it.

I do feel there is something that is worthy of debate in this, but I just can't figure out what exactly it is that I want to say about it. When it comes to me, I'll throw it out there for discussion.

Right now though, I'm going to go play with myself.

Seeya.

Don't play too hard!

Intrepid,

Indeed, Mr. Setanta did not call you an idiot. It was RexReed he actually called an idiot.

I submit such is not the case; in that Setanta never has done any such thing, you are projecting, imposing your preference and prediliction over reality. Setanta has been harshly critical of Rex' (and others') style and substance as posted on these boards, but not of the person of the individual who's interactions here have been subject to his approbation and negative assessment. Close to the edge sometimes, mebbe, but not technically over that edge, at least so far as I've noticed with specific reference to Rex. Of course, its always possible I've missed something.

Ok, so I am reading this wrong then?

FYI, Yitwail, when someone addresses me as a fool, they pretty much deserve what they get.

Spendi is obsessed with schoolgirls--i suspect its a product of his frustrated desire to get into their nickers. It's a playground trick to hope to get my goat by referring to me in terms such as schoolgirl, and is the sort of thing one would expect from a dypsomaniac. I certainly hope Spendi isn't becoming a dypsomaniac, because it is difficult enough to read the twaddle he puts out there as it is.

Duke it out, indeed--this is quite entertaining.

Mr. Setanta,

Wouldn't it just be a better thing to just say, oops!

I made a mistake, I actually did call someone that once? Then it's over. :wink:

I hope you are having a great day, Mr. Setanta.

Did you post this very same thing in another thread? I answered it there, BTW. Still waiting for your answer on which church would actually think it is okay to use God's name in vain.

Timber,

You may read Mr. Setanta's statement as hypothetical. However, I think the second sentence in that statement by him makes it pretty clear he is doing the "if it's ok for you to do it then I can too" thing because he is confirming his first sentence by his last sentence.

Just my opinion though. But, I am not the only one that obviously read it that way.

0 Replies

I submit that no matter how one chooses to read the statement in question, when parsed, the statement is a hypothetical. I submit fiurther you destroy your own argument with your statement " ... I think the second sentence in that statement by him makes it pretty clear he is doing the "if it's ok for you to do it then I can too" thing because he is confirming his first sentence by his last sentence ... "

Now, I'll not deny the snarkiness of Setanta's intent in that post, nor do I dispute what clearly he implied thereby. None the less, as typed by Setanta, the passage in question qualifies - albeit barely - as a hypothetical. That doesn't excuse it, by any means; it comes awfully close to the edge, but technically stays just short of going over it. It wasn't particularly civil, but it was moderately cleverly - if intemperately - done.
