ElvisL1ves, thank you.
Depends on what Mace was hoping you would learn through this.
“Debating through questions” is a useful skill and something you desparately need. Instead of making any assertions, you just let the other guy fall apart all on his own.
“Asking honest questions and accepting the answer” is also something you are in desperate need of. Generally you assume that your view of Republicans, Democrats, religious persons, gay people, scientists, or whoever is accurate–without ever believing anything those people tell you about their beliefs.
Anyhow, might I ask whether you are actually fighting for your integrity at this point or trolling?
I meant to quote this paragraph in my last post. Whoops.
That was likely to have been his reason. However, my point is that at least I held out longer without making statements then Shodan. However, I still intend to keep only asking questions till the 11th, regardless.
Fighting for my integrity.
Good luck.

Too little, too late.
Thanks to all involved. This thread is fucking hilarious.
The best bit is that Scott doesn’t seem to realize that he is getting his ass handed to him.
And yet, you continue to argue as if you’re in the GD thread.
Read more. Post Less.
To paraphrase Gandalf: Most of us are not trying to hurt you, we’re trying to help you.
I haven’t checked those cites, but I didn’t think this was a contest to see who broke down first. My thoughts were you’d go for a week just asking Qs in GD, and if either of you went off track, I’d guide you back on track.
This exercise was supposed to be a learning experience, not a contest. If you want it to be a contest, then count me out. That was not the “original intent” of the idea. And seeing as I’m the guy who thought up the idea, I feel very comfortable ruling on the original intent. 
I doubt whoever took it from you is going to give it back, given how long they’ve had it.

claificcation?
egotitically?
nanswerd?
It’s like shooting fish in a barrel, isn’t it?
I fail to reasoning of see your point. If by ass you mean small donkey-like reptile, then no, I don’t, think it is handed to being me. If, on the other foot, you are suggesting my own ass, handed, and not by foot, but by hand, to me, then I would point out several other, posters, who would agree with me, on this point.
Dammit, I want an activist judge!
:mad:

Oh shit. Stop! My side are killing me and all my cow-workers want to know what the hell is so funny.
Moo?
In those two posts, it looked to me like Shodan was just asking questions. Which parts did you object to? Yes, there were some sentences that didn’t end in question marks, if you want to be literalistic about it, but they were statements in which Shodan was trying to clarify for himself what he thought the other person was saying, then asking, “Is this correct?”
But your comment above is very telling, because it clearly illustrates one of the main reasons you are getting so much opposition here, from all sides of the political aisle. Everything is a competition to you, in which you must fight to win WIN WIN, and best your opponent in mortal combat!
Do you really think that was the point of the exercise?
Sometimes a discussion is not a competition. Sometimes even a debate is not a competition (i.e. with a “winner” and a “loser” at the end). Until you figure this out, you will continue to face the same sentiments here that you’ve been seeing for the last 8 pages (and more).
Cow-worker is a long time SDMBism. I can’t remember who exactly started it, but I think he’s burning your dog.
Woof?
Really, don’t mind me.
