Learn how to argue, CalifBoomer

CalifBoomer: Your incomprehensible rantings have become completely tiresome. You present your opinions as fact. You are just wasting bandwidth. I cannot, even with the most charitable reading, discern a rational point in any of your threads.

I don’t know if you understand this, but I create my posts for the purposes of rational discussion and understanding. I do use a bit of rhetoric to spice things up, but that’s just for fun. At the core of every topic I create, and every response I post, is a genuine desire to explore a question in the bounds of rationality to improve my own understanding.

I cannot discern that quality in your writing. You seem to know you are right, beyond all question, and anyone who disagrees with you is obviously promulgating heresy and lies.

I fear it is no longer possible to engage in rational debate. I shan’t respond to your comments in any forum.

Well put.

I agree.

Bravo! :smiley:


“Semper Ubi Sub Ubi.” =-)

The scary part is, he posted two really well-thought-out and intelligent posts where he actually conceded a few points and changed his mind on a few more. I, for one, was nigh impressed.

However, he seems to be lapsing. I think only time will tell if he’s reformed or not.

I’m still waiting for an answer Here

I think you put it best, CalifBoomer, when(in thread you linked to) you said:

Well, I’m not sure about the sarcastic part, but the rest seems to apply pretty well.


Profanity is the crutch of the inarticulate mother-fucker.

You’re still waiting for an answer? Okay.

And so, in answer to is question:
No, but you’re an idiot. Logic is a science, and it is immune to your beliefs. The point is that if you refuse to acknowledge that logic can and does produce legitimate findings than you are in effect stamping your foot and insisting you’re right like a child throwing a tantrum. Which makes you look quite foolish.
Who writes some of your other posts for you, anyway? You know, the ones where you seem to have half a brain at least?

Lixicon:

Looks more like you’re the one throwing a tantrum. Why do you ‘rational thinkers’ all go apoplectic every time you run over your tails with your circuitous ‘logic’?\

That was CalifBoomer in the 12 Steps to Submission thread. It was a completely unprovoked attack, as it was his first post on that topic.

But it wasn’t a tantrum. And there is, as he mentioned in another thread, a lack of civility on this board. Not by him, though.

You can’t make up stuff like this.

My sides.

I don’t know, Wally. Califboomer’s always been perfectly civil to me!


Eagles may soar free and proud, but weasels never get sucked into jet engines.

Hm, got to love the humor here. So you assert that logic is flawed-claiming it’s circuitous-(which is of course only a valid criticism of logic if you accept logic as a valid criteria for judgeing things) and hence that logic is something that isn’t reliable? (yet another logic based value)

Um, in that case I’ll just abandon logic-criteria to justify it. Logic is better cause the IPU said so. There we go. Now, how would you argue with that? Be careful not to use logic…

You guys just dont get it. CaBoom is right.
All of you are just irrational and leftist. Dont you see he has the power to overwhelm this whole group with his intelligence?

For me, I’m giving up and agreeing with everything he says.

Califboomer:

No shit? How so?

Well, I have been disabused. That made about as much sense as a monkey trying to fuck a football.

I was merely trying to point out that logic will always be logic. Though it may evolve as any science does, it will still be a science.
This may be what you meant by saying what you did-“Logic is a a belif?”-but I was trying to point out that how redundant a statement that was coming from you, based on what FrankD6 had said.
Do I have to draw everything out in crayon?
I was remaining objective, and you lamely say I was throwing a tantrum?

Once again, you’re an idiot. Plain and simple. You only sound like you have a modicum of intelligence.

And it’s Lexicon, dumbass!
