Well, seeing there is no other Matthew that i'm aware of in this thread it was logical for me to think that you were talking about me, and you agreed yourself. So why did you say
I could have been talking about someone else...many people have monikers instead of their real names...you just assumed I was talking to you, hence the comment; I just happened to be talking about you.
Did you say this simply to post it? heheh
Considering you said something about me talking about you, no, it wasn't for the sake of posting, it was a response. You said something about assumptions, and so did I...you're not too good at rhetoric, are you?
Please, you started the name calling and getting all defensive. All I did was laugh. If you don't like it, tough, I can laugh at you all I want. This to me seems to be another example of how you think your above everyone else "What?! You're laughing at me?! Stop that at once I declare!"
Hehehe
It's a violation of the rules, and while I violated the rules as well, you did it first in an attempt to start a flame war - which you did - and I know name calling doesn't hurt your feelings. I called you names to show that I'm not all that serious about this whole thing and also to show my opinion of you...
As for me being above everyone else, I asked you directly not to mock me. I don't know if you know anything at all about harrassment laws (odds are you don't), but once someone asks you to stop something you must stop otherwise legal action can be brought against. Now, while I wouldn't do that because it's a frickin' message board, it's the same thing, and I asked Andrew to have a talk with you because, quite frankly, it's annoying as I make few posts on this board and any chance you get you take a cheap shot at me.
You implied earlier that I was targeting you and was posting just for the sake of posting, and I was just pointing out to you that I was posting becuase I disagreed with not just you, but also others, and i felt like throwing my 2 cents in.
I explained why I said you were posting for the sake of posting and you WERE targeting me with your 'argumentative' comment. Everyone on the board is agrumentative; I just tend to have different points of views than everyone else...which apparently is evil!
Hehehe, nice contradiction (Saying I contributed to the discussion then saying I "posted only for the sake of posting")
I never SAID (you quoted me) that you did not contribute to the discussion. I know it's a contradiction, that's why I had the clarifying statement next...
No, becuase I said more in that post than just that. And I can share my opinion of why people like to cause lengthy debates. Just like you're entitled to comment on my debating skills, which you said before I mentioned the arguementative thing.
I made one post and didn't mention you at all. I comment on your debating skills because you always try to sound smart but you don't make sense, and also, your arguments are set up illogically. Your debating skills DO suck. Look at this one, you're trying to be clever by saying I'm contradicting myself when I take care of the contradiction in the next sentnece and POINT OUT that I KNOW it's a contradiction...sheesh. As for the argumentative comment, it was completely unneeded, and, therefore, posted for the sake of posting. Do you understand anything that I'm typing?
I couldn't care less if you have a large or small vocabulary. It's, um, irrelivent
Seeing as you were making fun of my uses of 'daft,' 'dolt,' and what not, it IS relevant. If you're gonna be a smartass, at least spell the word right...
I thought the paragraph before was your last thing . Hmm. Anyways, I don't care if you swear. But you critisised my posting style before saying I sounded like an asshole, yet you can't take it when someone "mocks" ( ) yours. And, since when have you the authority to give warnings?
*sigh* OK, look at the topic of the 'one last thing' paragraph. Now, move to the next one. Surprise! They're talking about the SAME thing. You ARE an asshole. I've talked to you personally on msn, and you are an asshole. When do I have the authority? Since I had the right to say 'don't mock me.' You're mocking me, not anyone else; if I was warning you when you were making fun of someone else, then yeah, you could say that, but it's different because I'm the butt of your...weird and not really funny to anyone but you....jokes.
Why would I make fun of them? I respect them
And that sums it up right there. They make long arguments. They use 'big words.' But you respect them when they're just as argumentative as me. You don't respect me, hence the rude argumentative comment. The comment was, therefore, intended to start something or at least 'hurt my feelings' or something...I don't know why you did it, but I can make an accurate assumption since I know how you like to start stuff on the board (remember how you used to ask me to 'back you up' in discussions where you made comments like the one you made to me? You did shit like this all the time...).
Your last comment sums it up. Andrew wants a board respectful of others, and I'm not getting the respect I deserve. I've been here for a long time, and you've been here a while as well. I'm not saying I deserve more respect than the next person, I'm just saying that I don't deserve some 18 year old who's still acting like he's 14 annoying me when I make my one or two posts a day (unless some retard is being an asshole).
And a quick thing on your debating skills: you DON'T know what you're doing about when it comes to debating. I do, and I can accurately criticize those skills; it's more constructive criticism than anything else. It bugs the hell out of me to have a debate like this when the other person is so ignorant that they think they're being clever and point out supposed semantic problems when they're just completely missing the point, which is exactly you are doing. Don't say "you're just acting smart again;" I've taken gobs of classes on debate and rhetoric and semantics and so on, and it's obvious you don't know a damned thing about them...
Just post on the board and leave me alone (that's twice now I've asked you to stop this shit). The quality of posters has gone down, no thanks to assholes like you. I might leave the NBA board if I have to waste my time with pointless discussions because someone's ego needs a boost with a cheap stab at another board member.
heheh

. You say I'm mocking you? But how? By laughing. Lol please. And you say I have an ego
