  • Poll closed .

Zero people have said that Luka has declined. You can’t make up an opposing point for the other side and argue against it. And no, if you vote for the other team it does not follow that they must believe in the phantom argument you made up.

Yeah that was poorly phrased by me.

However you made up an argument of your own there and put it in my mouth, so pots and kettles...
 
KqWIN said:
Yeah…those things are totally equivalent lol.

Biggest difference is I admitted my poor phrasing, when you tried to lol your way out of yours.

Also, my post is fixable by switching one word, "how" with "if", making it perfectly reasonable... and more in line to what I intended to say.

Your post needs a bit more work to turn it from trash to reason.

Your statement accused people of believing Luka has declined and for those reasons. No one said that, it must have been implied for you to criticize it. If you misspoke, you misspoke. But if you didn't, it would require that what I said (or something very similar) had to be true. That's why I said what I said. Otherwise, why would you make an argument against something no one said? You can't make a poor statement, and then say I made a bad post for responding to the poor statement. If I gave someone the wrong directions, I can't be the one blaming them for going the wrong way.

So... if someone makes a comment that doesnt make sense you can (for instance):
1) Ask him what he means by it
2) Trash him without asking

You chose number 2 and now you try and stand and fight on the mountain of righteousness "because I forced your bad behaviour".

I suggest you buy a new moral compass.

Haha. Sorry, but if someone says something I disagree with I will say I disagree with it and why. That's kind of the point of a discussion isn't it? If you're upset about that....honestly I cannot bring myself to care. I'm not going to ask a poster and validate that what they said is what they wanted to say. I guess my moral compass doesn't allow me to assume everyone must be treated with kid gloves. I could not care less if you misspoke (even though I don't think you're revised point has much meaning anyways). But I find it comical that you want to blame others for misunderstanding something you acknowledge was poor.

My nephew says nonsensical things all the time and I don't take it at face value because he's 5, but in an effort to improve my moral compass I will remember to treat you the same way.

So asking for clarification is not for intelligent adult conversations but only to be used with kids? Got it.

Its funny that you mention 5 year olds, since kids at that age are very quick to argue and contradict if they see the slightest reason. I wonder what that reminds me of...

Also dont worry. I'm not at all offended by any of this. Just keep digging in your quest to maintain an infallible image.

You are probably the only person I have seen that is upset that I took their word for something. Plenty of people disagree with me, don’t think anyone has asked me to clarify and why would they. That’s a comical request. I’ve also misspoke many times, but that’s my bad and the the fault of the person who I was misleading to. But it’s all good man. From now on I’ll ignore you because I do not care enough to verify that whatever someone says is meant to be said.
