Quartz

Seriously mate, what is the point of you?

You’re a pathetic Brexit cultist.

You insist against all evidence that Brexit means Brexit without any irony about how dumb that sounds.

You simply refuse to address any evidence that all forms of Brexit harm, and insist there’s a majority for a hard Brexit despite all evidence to the contrary.

People like you are ruining the UK. You’re on the same level as climate change deniers, flat earthers and Trumpists.

Can you just go away, please? Your contributions, if that’s what we can charitably call them, to the Brexit debate are just corrosive and the opposite of helpful. The Straight Dope is about fighting ignorance, but you are doing the opposite.

Looks like SOMEONE is setting themselves up for an insult tip.

He might even pile on, criticizing your Hollandaise as having “no discernible lemon.”

(A comment that is the most memorable insult I have ever read on this message board.)

Here’s what I said (and what he reported):

Given this recent performance, that’s entirely too charitable. Here’s what I should have said:

This isn’t the first time we’ve had this conversation, either. I’m so sorry for wasting everyone’s time responding to him.

I reported the “Reported”, because that kind of passive-aggressive fuckwittery should fuck right out of GD.

I bet he hit report to tell Bone that he didn’t like the way the debate was playing out.

He’s a pompous twat who has been bugging my tits off on here for fucking years.

He seems to have absolutely no comprehension of the complexities of Brexit, and in previous threads he’s “stepped away” when challenged by those who do, rather than make any effort to learn. (kudos to you all btw - you’ve far more patience than me)

It’s infuriating behaviour, it really is.

Hah, I had missed that.

No doubt the OP has said a whole load of nasty lies about me but since he’s on my ignore list I don’t see them.

You guys just don’t like people disagreeing with you. You don’t believe in democracy - unless the people vote the way you want.

I have a very simple position on Brexit. It’s apparently too simple for everyone. Your lack of comprehension is your problem, not mine.

That’s brilliant. I am adding “your Hollandaise has no discernible lemon” to my list of put-downs for my mortal enemies.

Your position leaves no flexibility on trying to avoid likely very significant damage to your country. Democracy is not a suicide pact. If the majority voted for nuclear destruction, responsible members of government would still try to avoid nuclear destruction. Representative democracy means that elected representatives can and should do what’s best for the country, even if it might conflict with majority will (and especially if there are indications that the “majority will” determination was highly flawed, and that the present majority will might well be different). That doesn’t conflict with the concept of democratic government.

IIRC, Quartz is also the guy who suggested nuking Argentina to defend the Falklands. Also, nuking Vietnam, Korea, and Iraq.

EDIT: In this thread: https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=819358

I’ve read many of your posts and have never come away with the impression that you are all that happy with people who disagree with you. Just sayin’.

In any event, I don’t have a dog in this fight except to say that I’m mildly amused by your lame evasions to avoid answering the yes or no question “Did the British people vote to unilaterally abandon all EU treaties and trade deals?”

Quartz is a limited person with a simplistic understanding of the world. He gets frightened and angry by the modern world and likes to make the simplistic statements, but runs away when they are shown to be stupid and wrong, I think of his silly pat on head argument about Cameron…

It is all sentiment and superficiality.

But at least Dibble and I can be happy he’s forgotten his never ending series of hand wringing about the whites in southern africa…

I didn’t evade it. There was no vote on that question.

Oh, I had no idea he’d blocked me. Bit rich seeing as how he claims we don’t like people disagreeing with us. Funny!

Can someone tell him we are happy with disagreement, but we expect our counterparts to actually debate with facts and evidence and not stamp his feet impotently and expect his fantasies to be treated as equivalent to reality?

Once again, climate change deniers, flat earthers, trumpists come to mind.

And your problem is? The threat of nukes is currently the only real deterrent against Argentina should they become aggressive. And nukes would have stopped the Korean and Vietnam wars very quickly.

Which means a Brexit with free movement and single market membership intact meets the referendum, at least, far more than hard Brexit does.

Someone tell him that?

Man, if only there was some way to know what “brexit” means.
