And to go further down my line of thought, if they could have planned the way the event was orchestrated, there wouldn’t have been a bottleneck either. From the most recent newstory, this was a huge event, and it’s organizers should have planned much better, a stampede was almost eventual. 
I did no such thing.
:rolleyes:
no u
You seem to have confused the Pit with elementary-school recess, lissener. Grow up.
What next, sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming “lalalalala!!!”? You made the assertion, so you back it up. I’ve made my position abundantly clear: that merely holding a position of authority does not necessarily mean that one is well-qualified to do so. Nowhere did I state that simply because one holds such a position it should be assumed he is not qualified, or that statements made by such an individual should be discounted merely because he holds a position of authority. How dare you call me specious and cowardly while attacking such a disingenous strawman.
whoosh
:dubious: You’re claiming that I’m being the childish one here? That’s rich. I didn’t realize that a simple denial of a false accusation was childish.
Yes, I guess the subtext of “:rolleyes: no u” has escaped me. Fact is, if you act like an idiot often enough, you can’t claim to be pretending to act like an idiot and expect to be believed.
Well, except by other idiots, maybe. Not being one, I wouldn’t know for certain.
My “no u” was put forth as the only possible response in keeping with QED’s “I did no such thing.” Sorry I was not more explicit.
For *whatever *it’s worth, your characterization of “no u” as standard lissener “idiocy” is just ignorant. I’ve been accused of many things, probably most frequently of OVER responding; of not letting something go. But “no u” is about as far away from my standard posting style–even granting the idiot aspect–as you can get.
(I suggest, respectfully, that if you feel the need to comb over my posting history to prove me wrong, you should do it in another thread. I submit that this hijack has run its course in this thread.)
I’m rather curious as to the thought process which led you to this bizarre conclusion. Please, enlighten me.
Then you lack imagination. A possible response would have been to recognize that “Not all As are Bs” is not equivalent to “No As are Bs.” Zabali_Clawbane’s statement was that a high-ranking official’s account should be taken as is, while Q.E.D. provided a counterexample showing this this is not necessarily so. I didn’t interpret Q.E.D.'s statement to mean all authority is useless and I think you are an idiot for doing so.
I just assumed you were sliding back toward whatever abyss that got you suspended last year. As such, I’m not surprised by anything you’d write.
Actually, that was NOT “the only possible response.” You’re bigger than that(I think). Using current teen-lingo would be acceptable to my daughter, but maybe not everyone on this board would find it even understandable.
If it’s “about as far away from my standard posting style–even granting the idiot aspect–as you can get.”, then why not let it remain there?
Because I was commenting on QED’s style.
I was implicitly trying to suggest that QED’s “response” was no better than “no u.” Fine, my implication failed. Mostly through overexplanation, at this point.
Are you seriously modding me for saying “no u” in the Pit?
No, it failed because it’s nonsense. I asked you once to explain how my simple and direct denial of your false statement was, in any sense, childish. You have yet to address this. Or, in fact, anything that either I or Bryan Ekers have said to you since then.
Oh, put the cross away, for fuck’s sake. He’s not “modding” you in any way, shape or form. It is perfectly clear that he’s addressing you as a fellow poster.
no u
Fine. I’ll just have to take your continued refusal to address me rationally as a concession of defeat, of sorts; your failure to present any cogent arguments can only mean that you have none to offer. We’re done here.
:rolleyes:
Dude, this whole thing started because of my pointing out that YOU refused to present any cogent arguments (“I did no such thing.” “But I came here for an argument. You’re just contradicting me!” “No I’m not.”). So you lost first. Bwahaha!
Man, you really make me wanna go “no u” again, you’re such a lame loser.
O RLY?
Last word.
when did the emotional age here get lowered to 5?
