Rodney King revisited

Hopper said:
Biley, I'm quite familiar with your game, which is basically to try to bait someone into an argument and then try to give the appearance of "winning" the argument with sophistical ad hominem attacks, fallacious reasoning, bluster, and insult.

I don't care to play your game, and that's why I seldom respond to you and always regret it when I do. You have no desire to honestly discuss anything. You simply want to see if you can either (1) cram your half-baked opinions down someone's throat and/or (2) play to the crowd, acting as though you have "destroyed" someone with your simplistic and bogus tactics.

Why do you address me? Why don't you have me on ignore? If you don't like intelligent discussion, why do you post in my threads? Why do you presume to tell me how to express myself?

Go away. I don't care to interact with you, OK?

Why don't you have ME on ignore? Why do you respond to someone such as myself who has nothing to offer to all the "intelligent" discussions you have going around here everyone is so riveted by? Why do you presume to tell ME how to express MYself? Why do you say I have a 'game,' and you don't? Why do you think you're not cramming your own opinions down people's throats with all your glory hole threads about what Jerry ate for breakfast, or when Deron scratched his balls a certain way, or when Sophocles had a dream about Mark Twain that had something to do with a point you might be making? Why are you so deluded that you think people can't understand you? Why are you so afraid to just say what you think and see where the road goes rather than always having some magical riddle to protect yourself if it doesn't go well?

The irony of Hoppy asking for intelligent discussion is incredibly overwhelming.

This seems to be everything billyshelby wants in a Hopper post. How pleased was he with it?

Scorecard:
tu quoque fallacy: check
False claim (that Hopper requested billyshelby express himself in a certain way): check
False claim (that Hopper said Hopper did not have a game he played): check
Inability to differentiate deductive and inductive teaching methods: check
False claim (Hopper thinks people can't understand him): check

Even more embarrassing is that this is exactly the behavior Hopper described.

If you read a little more carefully, you'll see that Hopper was telling billyshelby that Hopper's posts are a bad place to find intelligence, at least of the sort that billyshelby is interested in.

Now, we all kno9w you aren't that foolish, moevillini. Even Hopper understands that, despite his hypothetical in the other thread.
