It’s not a subject on which I ingeminate; **the only people who have problems with it are people like you.** \ Although I’d rather not ingeminate the point, I always assumed **Gary Kumquat** was a white guy. But as I said, I don’t want to ingeminate the whole thing. I’m not like some folks; all they wanna do is ingeminate, ingeminate, ingeminate. Wait a minute. What didn’t happen? What did I miss? ---

I was just reading that vaccine thread and holy cow, that’s a perfect example of the sort of high dudgeon **Quartz** loves to fly into. He poses a question, EVERYONE IN THE THREAD points out that the question as written is unclear, and rather than simply elaborating like a normal person he throws multiple snits about how everyone is trying to read too much into the question. He may not be an anti-vaxxer but if he didn’t post that OP with a view to it being some sort of ‘gotcha’ question (which was not achieved) then the only other explanation is that he really doesn’t understand basic human communication. ---

> [@Quartz](#): > > Well, at least they don’t blow. 🙂 Unlike your thread, where you refused to give a position in your own debate, or even define one word that a lot of posters needed for you to define to give a proper answer. BTW, when it was pointed out that giving the child a vaccination against the orders of the parents was probably illegal, you moved the goalposts out-of-state by posting that it didn’t matter because all the lawyers were on strike. Classy move. :rolleyes: ---

I wanted to have a civil conversation about an interesting topic, but it can’t move forward because he won’t define the fucking term and accuses me of having an agenda.

I wanted to have a civil conversation about an interesting topic, but it can’t move forward because he won’t define the fucking term and accuses me of having an agenda. I don’t generally set up rhetorical traps. At a guess I suspect he was expecting everyone to jump on him and go “AHA YOU’RE AN ANTIVAXXER” and then he would whip out his vaccine-supporting credentials thus proving (to himself, at least) that he’s the real hero here and everyone else is just persecuting him. But he managed to step on his own dick and fall flat on his face. ---

I have to insert a tasteless yet appropriate joke for this. What do an elephant and orange juice have in common? They both come in quarts. ---
