Sure, Dio. I just singled that line out through blind chance. It’s purely random and spectacularly arbitrary, and not representative of you in any manner whatsoever.
Um, I’d just like to say, that, um, I can be assed. That is, you know, if anyone needs someone who can be assed. PM me, it’s really not that big a deal; I get assed all the time.
I was specifically responding to his suggestion that Diogenes has a “my post is my cite schtick”. That, and I think generally he’s become a real nozzle - even over and above what might be expected given that he’s from St. Louis.
See, these kind of discussions are just comedy gold. I mean, Dio’s a reasonably quality poster about 75% of the time. If he’d just get over his habit of choosing random topics to declare himself the all-knowing master of all definitions and truths, disdaining all cites, he’d be worth listening to and engaging with more often–as it is, even when I agree with him I cringe because you just never know when he’s going to start arguing like the over-tired parent of four-year-old-twins (BECAUSE I SAID SO, THAT’S WHY) instead of the intelligent, educated adult he acts like much of the time.
Also, why the FUCK is Google giving me an ad for a petition for Congress to fund a specific military aircraft?
Are you seriously claiming that Dio DOESN’T sometimes staunchly declare he’s right, regardless of cites contrary to his position? What color is the sky on your planet?
