**brazil84** , are you constitutionally capable of _not_ being the last poster in threads like this? Every time I go past the BBQ Pit page, if I don’t see you listed as the last poster in this thread, all I have to do is wait a bit before you turn up. ---

brazil84, do you think that there was a secret meeting where everyone voted to pick on you? Do you think EVERYONE is complaining about you as a joke? All of these people are making the same comments about your posts, threads and debates yet you are the only one who doesn’t get it. ---

Every time I go past the BBQ Pit page, if I don’t see you listed as the last poster in this thread, all I have to do is wait a bit before you turn up. Well, acording to his, eh logic, if he leaves the thread he lost the argument, so he keeps going and going and going… until everyone else is bored out of their minds and he can claim victory over the barren battlefield. Kind of reminds me of that scene in Dracula: Dead and Loving It, with Leslie Nielsen and Mel Brooks trying to have the last word. ---

The problem is that you are applying your own logic and thought process to this. Stop it. Your filters are broken and you are wrong. How does the saying go? “When everyone tells you you are drunk, you sit down.” I am sorry but you are wrong on this. All of these people are just being honest with you. ---

I try to answer your questions, and yet you evade mine. What does that mean? What does it mean that I admit it promptly when I make a mistake, while many posters do not? What does it mean that I conceded – in this thread – that **What Exit** may have been acting in good faith when he accused me of misquoting him? (and by extension, accusing me of being a liar)? And yet, as far as I can tell, **What Exit** has made no such concession about my accusation. You should consider the possibility that I’m sober and you are drunk. So to speak. ---

Your dictionary is outdated, I’m afraid. I’m bowing out of my discussion with you, because not only do I think you’re resorting to counterproductive argumentation, but I think any effort to get you to see that is doomed to failure. Either the vast majority of the rest of the world is drunk, or you are. Daniel ---

> [@brazil84](#): > > :Look, when you opened a pit thread about **Leander** , I don’t think it was babyish. He repeatedly posted jabs about google and you eventually called him out on it. It’s a normal reaction. If you want to call it a “temper tantrum,” then fine. No, see, there are subtle differences which you might discover if you compare the two threads. Much like you, however, **leander** was utterly incapable of admitting (or even apparently realizing) when he was defeated. In the end, you both look like jackasses. ---
