Clearly there is no point discussing anything with you. You are intelligent enough, but are far too arrogant and immature to have a sensible conversation with. I find it somewhat childish how easily you take offence when none is intended.
This is the part where I ask for a link.
Well I thought I could fit both of them in the trunk but there was only room for the first one so I go out the chainsaw…
Link to Uncivil’s GD OP Faulty Intelligence on WMD.
IMHO, Uncivil derailed his own thread when he posted this:
and then steadfastly refused to consider whether the initial premise (i.e. that the intelligence agencies were responsible, rather than governments) was faulty.
And what the fuck does “FAO” mean?
I hear FAO Blowero is closing, actually. They’re even getting rid of that giant keyboard thingy.
Frederick August Otto Schwartz.
Perhaps the OP was wanting the pitted to go bankrupt.
Not exactly, I never said the government wasn’t to blame, I just didn’t think it answered my original question. And I did say I was happy to talk about it on another thread, which is what I thought it deserved.
Anyway, thanks mainly to SimonX’s links I was able to work out my original theory was bollocks. It seems that the reason the intelligence was faulty is because the Bush administration set up its own biased advisors to re-interpret it. Fine by me, I instinctively hate their guts.
FAO = For Attention Of. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is entirely co-incidental.
Just to be clear what I mean by immaturity, when someone refuses an apology its pretty obvious they aren’t interested in a discussion, they just want to spout their opinions.
Thank you, Desmostylus - that’s exactly what happened.
Yeah, next thing you know, I’ll be starting a pit thread. Oh wait…that was you.
Is this the “apology” I supposedly refused?
That’s a pretty piss-poor apology; right up there with “Sorry you’re such a jerk”.
What’s really cracking me up here is that after all the time Uncivil wastes by sticking his fingers in his ears and saying “That’s another subject - I won’t listen”, he ends up agreeing with me, agreeing that it was the Bush Administration that tweaked the intelligence. He credits SimonX with this revelation, even though AZCowboy and I both said as much on the first page of his thread.
Lame…
Well, you started the flaming on the GD thread, I’m “disgusting” apparentely. So I thought I might as well have a turn to say what I think of your attitude.
True enough. Thing is, unlike SimonX you didn’t give me any evidence or a clear argument why I should trust your version of events. You just stated your position. If you’d made the effort to explain yourself properly instead of going off on a childish temper tantrum you’d have saved us both a lot of time. Ah well.
Man, are you ever full of shit. You didn’t ask for any evidence, you simply said “that’s another subject” and refused to entertain the idea at all. I could give you evidence up the wazoo, but you were too busy having a hissy fit because I wouldn’t agree to assume your conclusion. I’m not gonna rehash your whole meltdown here, or play your “who started it?” game, because I already did so in the thread, and frankly, I’ve already spent too much time on it. Maybe you should just stay out of G.D., it seems a little over your head.
And quit lying - I never called you “disgusting”. I said your arguments were disgusting, which they were.
I see. So its my job to ask you for evidence that supports your position? It didn’t occur to you to supply it?
Thank you for so perfectly demostrating your arrogance. The concept of a reasonable discussion seems to be a little over your’s. The idea is to read the other guy’s post and try to understand where they are coming from, so you can make an intelligent response. You seemed to jump to the conclusion that I was some kind of Bush apologist, but of course you’re too arrogant to admit you might have made a misjudgement.
From original thread:
Nope.
Rofl, and you accused me of a silly semantic nitpick earlier. You can’t have it both ways.
From original thread:
Well, from my point of view the thread (eventually) got me the answers I wanted. I learned that my original theory was naive simplification, found out a lot about the Bush administration I couldn’t have easily got from another source, and that I shouldn’t dismiss points as being off topic so quickly. A result, despite the irritation caused dealing with your immaturity.
‘For the attention of’
(Happy to help - fiercesheep)
I told you all that on the first page of your thread. Too bad you had to waste everyone’s time by being such a cock. You’re not gonna win this one, so you may as well give it up. From your track record, though, I know you won’t.:rolleyes:
Your “job” is to allow people to disagree with you, rather than act like a petulant child and scream, “Waaaaah! You have to start a new thread.” This would be funny if it weren’t so annoying: you dismiss people’s views out-of-hand, then complain that they didn’t expound on them. You’ve got a lot to learn, son.
Ah, you’re the spokesman for the entire message board are you? Once again, thanks for proving my point about how arrogant you are.
Well he does speak for me. It must be hard to keep a good head of steam on that righteous indignation, when you pretty much had to admit that he was right, from the start. So what you’re really saying is you just didn’t like the way he kicked your ass. He wasn’t gentle enough? He hurt your feelings? Cute. :rolleyes:
Blowero , If you don’t talk nice to people you may never find somebody to lick your sweaty ballsack.
Bubba
Since this is a pitting of Blowero is it OK if I suggest he kiss my butt here?
But then how would we know for sure that it was really Blowero?
