Almost there, one more page Lib.
[…shrug…] Whatever floats your boat, I reckon.
To each according to its reply.
Libertarian’s post was astute and reasonable and I’d love to see Collounsbury’s rebuttal of it done in a similarly intelligent and readable style. It won’t happen though. He’ll be trashed in a venomous and caustic reply littered with misspelt words and affected faux britishisms.
My dear Libertarian, 'twas a nice try old man but Collounsbury’s style will give him the points decision (at least in this forum) upon the closure of the thread.
AFTER you posted a vague statement about 300 posts with an vague allusion to a “similar situation.” I know I know, it’s my job to go wading through your posts and try to guess what “similar situation” you are talking about :rolleyes:. I will concede that I could have figured out your point if I’d puzzled over your statement for a few minutes. But it doesn’t change the fact that YOU made a mistake and YOU chose not to explain it in a clear, simple way.

Oh quit dodging. The fact of the matter is that you refuse to back up your statements. I wonder why :rolleyes:
**I think that sums it up rather well. From your point of view, Great Debates is your personal playground. You go there to impress the girls (and the girlie boys), **
Girlie boys? ?? ?
Oh silly me, I thought that when you said “If it’s so bloody clear please do illustrate.” you meant what you said. Now I understand it was just Incredible Collounsbury Subtlety. :rolleyes:
Quit weasling and take your lithium.
This being the pit, Coll can perfectly well rebut by calling the rebutee (word?) a doodyhead who dresses funny.
BTW: Your prediction seems to have proved to be dead wrong re: the style of Coll’s reply.
My my, some people do get bent out of shape about the strangest things.
I obsiously disagree, but that’s neither here nor there.
What is there to rebut? Lib has his vague characterizations which the Fan Club will reflexively agree on, others will not. In what manner does one ‘rebut’ subjective readings? Words and phrases like frequent, or know so much about so little… Nice style and all that, worthy of me really that particular phrase, but effectively a silly thing to ‘rebut.’ Rather like lecturing someone on why they should like a certain movie or book.
Oh my. Bothered are we? Sorry my writing pokes you so. Well, not really.
Oh yes, Lucy, my dear little whinging fool, run along. Your obsessiveness about me is really unseemly. Thank god you haven’t a picture to whack off over.
(Let’s go for ten folks, I like even numbers and fear we may finish on 9, which I consider unlucky, although only for the sport of it.)
Lucwarm, if I asked very nicely, would you please stop using the rolleyes smiley so often. Pretty, pretty please?
OY! What’s your beef with the number 9 then?
Are you…Nineist?
I have long believed that odd numbers are evil and should be abolished. You might very well ask how one studies fields like economics as I have with such a belief.
My answer is, it sometimes proves to be a barrier, having an irrational aversion to odd numbers, but I learned not to jigger the results solely on that basis.
So, I am an ‘odd-ist’ although an extremist on those grounds. Odd numbers are all very well in their place.
It’s a tic. Gets all twitchy round me. Think of your office chimps and the receptionist.
Well I think that’s this whole thread settled then you should certainly be banned from the SDMB for your self-proclaimed extreme prejudice against odd numbers.
Consider where would the world be without odd numbers?
No more 7 Up
No 7/11
No more 7th Day Adventists…
okay you may have a point about the odd’s.
By the way, insofar as it may push us to an even number, I am reminded of the famous tale of Juba, the idiot.
Nice tale about how Juba goes to market with a donkey, with his son, and all along he gets criticized. First riding the donkey with his son, he gets criticized for riding the donkey with both on the poor beast, … well the tale goes through all the possible variations including Juba carrying the donkey. Really very amusing tale in the end.
No 9-11 either.
Of course I do, always have a point.
Blatant post padding. Or is that page paddding. Yep page padding, the aliteration is much better, even if I can’t spell aliteration.
Well if it’s so bloody obvious, prove it.
Obviosuly I meant blatent.
Heh, this is the pit I don’t have to cite a thang 
I’ve loved using that smiley ever since Thylacine told me its a lesbian kiss
And of course one for the boys :o
