Certainly if I wanted to be precise I could use to/too correctly…but when I’m typing I generally don’t bother to proof read it except to look for the words underlined in red…and to/too generally doesn’t register. Frankly I don’t care, as I told Hentor…at a guess most posters are able to automatically translate the gist of my posts and what I was getting at. For my part it’s neither your spelling nor syntax that I have issues with…it’s the content of your posts (or lack there of) and your posting style. > > -XT As usual you are clueless. Someone else said we were using to,too and two wrongly. I actually defended you by saying it was an insult to claim our arguments were deficient because of that. I felt confident that both of us knew the proper use and the difference. Sorry if you found that offensive but you are half pissed off before you read anything. Perhaps when you reach your 20s ,you will get a little more control. ---

_sigh_ [QUOTE=gonzomax] As usual you are clueless. Someone else said we were using to,too and two wrongly. [/QUOTE] Yes…I was there. They didn’t say ‘two’ that I saw, but essentially Hentor brought this up on (IIRC) the first page. And I commented on it there. Another poster then brought it up later on as an interesting aside that not only have I not mastered this vital piece of English syntax and grammar but you don’t seem to have either. > [@](#): > > I actually defended you by saying it was an insult to claim our arguments were deficient because of that. I defended myself, such as it was worth my while to do, back when Hentor originally made the claim. It really is no big deal from my own perspective…I simply don’t care about the distinction between to and too enough to be bothered with it. > [@](#): > > I felt confident that both of us knew the proper use and the difference. Well, that was really big of you gonzo…sadly it was in a lost cause. I really don’t care. It would only be a gotcha for Hentor if I was busting your chops in this thread concerning your grammar and syntax…which of course I’m not doing. Probably the reason he moved on from this thread…he was sounding like an idiot by continuing to try and bring this up. > [@](#): > > Sorry if you found that offensive but you are half pissed off before you read anything. Um…I DIDN’T find it offensive gonzo. That was the point. It’s you that seems to be all worked up about this little side line. I don’t really give a shit about it to be honest. Your powers of projection though are truly amazing… > [@](#): > > Perhaps when you reach your 20s ,you will get a little more control. Perhaps one day you will learn the fine art of reading comprehension… Ok, probably not at this late date. -XT ---

I guess who ever reads the responses to you had the day off. I did not assume you were unable to understand it when someone made it clear to you. That much is possible. ---

No I actually never heard a stupid expression like that. Of course I would ignore it because childish taunts are immature. You would revel in it and think it was debate. But that is who you are. For that I pity you. ---

I don’t think \*\*gonzomax \*\*is a real person. I think he is a software construct of the type known as a 'tardbot. Consider the ingenuity of the program writer to so convincingly mimic the responses of a differently-enabled writer on such a wide variety of topics. Every post of gonzo’s that I can remember reading sounded exactly like something a trainable mentally retarded man of about 50 might say. ---

Why? You think I strive to be like you. Nothing but snotty remarks and insults. If you ever had a decent argument, your childish insults would detract . Try to be an adult. No remarks at all. Just deal with subject matter and let your incredible arguing skill carry the day. That would elevate every discussion you get into. ---

To be honest, I’ve given him the benefit of the doubt for a while and figured he was just really stupid… but I can’t believe that’s the case any longer. Things like, for instance, spending much of this thread tossing out insults and then “forgetting” that fact so he can babble about how juvenile insults are? Lying through his teeth and claiming that his own words were a fabrication of another poster than then, when his lies are proven, changing to subject and again pretending later on that people have been “dishonest”? Taking statements that clearly went “I do not think you are a bigot” and responding “ah-hah! You are wrong when you called me a bigot just now!” No… he’s not this stupid. He’s not confused. He’s not senile, or mentally retarded. He is just a troll. ---

What are the characteristics of victory? To XT getting off insults is victory. I hope it pleases him to demonstrate the best of being a teenager. But adults actually grow up and deal with subject matter. Apparently we have dopers who like to prove that children come in all ages. If I insult you I win. Gimme my prize. ---
