I reluctantly accept your wager
Only one, though. She can only exude so much in one day.
I’m not sure I can put it even more simply, but I’ll try. If over 50% of the readers of this OP tell you “you are wrong, it doesn’t mean what you think it means, you are full of shit, your conclusions about OMG are unwarranted, and you are a doofus”, will you stop the inanity?
Let’s find out.
PRR, you are wrong. It doesn’t mean what you think it means. You are full of shit, your conclusions about OMG are unwarranted, and you are a doofus.
Right, ok. Carry on.
I’m wrong about what? I stated my opinion (that OMG is trolling, that he doesn’t believe what he professes to believe, and that is why he refuses to make a wager about the election results)–how can my opinion be wrong? You might disagree with it, but that is just another opinion.
What is “it”?
U 2
so this means what? You disagree with my opinion? What a shocker!
U 3
Carry on, Donald.
OOH! Good one!
Yeah, the best I could do in the face of your rapier-like wit. After “U3” I was just devastated. :rolleyes:
Whatever. This is a waste of time. I’d sooner visit the Argument Clinic.
Fail.
Buh-bye. Don’t let the door…
FTR, OMG summarized his POV in post 55 of the election outcome predictions thread: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=669306&page=2
Incredibly adaher, who by now must have made hundreds of largely unsubstantiated posts in the elections forum, hasn’t as yet manned up and stated his predictions. Now that’s quality horsepucky. Then again neither has pseudotriton ruber ruber: both sides do it!
Well not really: prr hasn’t given the Elections forum the blanket coverage that adaher has.
Really? I think Obama will win, and I’m willing to bet my sig-line on that. Which part of that do you think I haven’t stated clearly yet?
That he doesn’t give a fuck about you or your bet.
Possibly. But I think if he thought he’d win, he’d be all over it. As I said, if I offered him the same bet but with lower standards, like Romney not getting 200 EVs, he’d view it as a chance to make me look foolish at little risk to himself. He could propose the most abasing, self-insulting sig line, and get me to wear it for 90 days, or whatever we agreed, and bear almost no risk of having to bear it himself, so I think that would be attractive to him. I think it’s the risk of having to wear it himself that deters him.
Oh, so you admit you’re a troll. That clears a few things up.
I certainly cheerfully admit to employing hyperbole in this thread, as have many others. And I do so swiftly, openly, and clearly. Report me, by all means, if you think that I (and I expect all the users of hyperbole) will be found to be trolling in this thread–even the Mods have a sense of humor. Such a shame not everyone does, John Mace.
That’s a heck of a sense of humor you got there, Pseudy!
But at least now we know you don’t believe what you post. That actually explains a lot, too.
I’m hearing nothing from the Mods, and after all your ceaseless effort in pressing and pressing on the “Report” button too.
Or is it that you don’t think you’d be taken seriously in reporting me for trolling? Nah. Couldn’t be. You said I was trolling so you obviously reported me to every mod you could think of, and I’ll be hearing from them soon. I’ll come back to this thread to report every so often on my communications with the mods you’ve reported me to.
Hey PRR, you hear from those mods yet?
