Aaargh. This drives me fucking nuts.

[cali]

someone here writes something and when others disagree they say: ooh, judging from the reactions, I struck a nerve. the truth hurts, doesn't it?

Well, fuck that. It's dishonest. it's cheap. it's impossible to respond to (you're in denial, don't you know) it's rhetoric at it's sleaziest.

[blondeatlast]

4. Look at it this way, cali. That asswipe managed to unite some of DU's bitterest warring factions.

And if I know the OP like I think I do, that ought to piss it off but good. :bounce:

10. Ah, hell. Have a beer.

They don't even have a profile or take PMs.

Coward.

Have a beer on me.

:toast:

12. thanks, don't mind if I do.

My beer snob 23 year old son gives me a hard time because I actually like Rolling Rock.

[redwitch]

16. I have a beer snob almost 23 year old son.

I like Rolling Rock too. :-)

13. "This drives me fucking nuts"

That's a short drive cali..lol

[varelse]

14. Isn't that part of "internet 'debating' 101" or something?

I've yet to see an online forum where that tactic is not in frequent use, precisely because it is so easy to implement. The only effective reaction to it is to stick to your point and don't let them use it to sidetrack you.

[JohnnyLib2]

15. One lil ol' rec from me.

With a chuckle. :evilgrin: :kick:

[HughMoran]
