By the way, it's called realistic.

I agree, it is realistic to believe that you are arrogant.

You display contempt for the study of argumentation

Omniscient? You don't know nearly as much as you think. I have no contempt, I was making the case that you spent more time/space in this thread discussing the form of your arguments than actually discussing the information that is pertinent to this debate.

I believe that my response did not force you to respond to it. Therefore, if you choose to read it, and choose to respond to it with a comment of your own, who is really responsible for the alleged waste of time? The choice was yours, and you chose to waste time.

It was my choice to read it, but I could not know what the content was until I read it. So I was sort of at an impass, I gave you the benefit of the doubt, and I was mistaken. I thought that perhaps you would have something pertinent to say but, alas, I was incorrect. You decided to blather on about something that was inconsequential.

Not at all. I didn't get you. You got yourself.

I have had little opportunity here at the FR to have discourse with any remotely as arrogant or offputting as you. Congrats.

I'm sorry if you have made this misinterpretation (no doubt without reading all the posts), but this ends up re-inforcing the point of the wise man about how a man feels about what he does not understand.

I and a majority of the other folks who followed this thread made the same "misinterpretation", but that wouldn't matter to you considering you have a command of all knowledge, according to yourself.

Why would you be around? I thought that the 'yap yap' was bothering you? And I knew it was not a threat, but it did seem like someone who thought too highly of himself and his presence.I would be around, because I have been around here for the last year. I will be more clear so that you will know exactly what I mean this time. I will see you around at some later time, in some later thread. I try to be positive around here, so even though I found your contributions less than desirable in this thread (and likely the same will occur on another thread of this content) I will say that I enjoyed the first part of your homepage. ISLAM is a TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. and I appreciate that you reference the truth about mohammed. So hopefully the next time I see you will be on an article about Islamism so we can be more cordial before we become combative again.

To be clear: I am done with this thread re: LtdGovt and I will be around, just not in this specific thread. got it? Good day.

I agree, it is realistic to believe that you are arrogant.

A person would be arrogant if there is a significant positive discrepancy between reality and self-perception. You haven't provided any evidence for that.

Omniscient? You don't know nearly as much as you think.

True, I have thought a lot more in my life than I have known. But since our mind is processing thoughts all the time, that's natural.

I have no contempt, I was making the case that you spent more time/space in this thread discussing the form of your arguments than actually discussing the information that is pertinent to this debate.

So your argument was that the subject of argumentation has nothing to do with the subject matter of this thread. However, you were making an argument that has even less relevance to the thread. And I fail to see why you would be so concerned about the health of a topic that is one week old.

It was my choice to read it, but I could not know what the content was until I read it.

Absolutely. But... within two seconds, you could have known whether you should see my response as 'pertinent' or not. However, you chose to waste more time by continue reading, chose to waste more time by accuse me of time-wasting, chose to waste more time by read my response to your accusation of time-wasting and chose to waste even more time by defend your allegation. If there is any time-wasting here, it is entirely of your own making. I bear no responsibility for your own actions.

I have had little opportunity here at the FR to have discourse with any remotely as arrogant or offputting as you. Congrats.

Wouldn't this be an example of something that is offputting? No wonder you haven't been able to discourse with such a person, because that would be... you! (Oh, and no offense, but I had to fire back.)

I and a majority of the other folks who followed this thread made the same "misinterpretation",

Let's first establish what we were talking about. Namely, the accusation that "you spend more time defending the style and semantics of your arguments rather than the substance". You claim that "a majority of other folks who followed this thread made the same 'misinterpretation'". However, there is no way for you to know this, unless you're omniscient. You...

1. don't know how many people have been following this thread. Unless you are somehow subconsciously aware of what they think, this statement is worthy of ridicule.
2. don't have the response of but one person to support your interpretation
3. Conclusion: you can't possibly know the thoughts of:
a. the persons who responded in this thread
b. the persons who follow this thread but did not respond.

You accuse me of being arrogant and of feigning omniscience, but that might well be projection.

but that wouldn't matter to you considering you have a command of all knowledge, according to yourself.

I said so? Then please do quote me.

I would be around, because I have been around here for the last year. I will be more clear so that you will know exactly what I mean this time. I will see you around at some later time, in some later thread.

Good. I particularly hope to see you in the evolution threads. It's interesting to discuss that subject.

I will say that I enjoyed the first part of your homepage. ISLAM is a TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. and I appreciate that you reference the truth about mohammed. So hopefully the next time I see you will be on an article about Islamism so we can be more cordial before we become combative again.

Thank you. As you well know, nothing in life is all good, so we shouldn't expect it to be that way. The best we can hope for is a combination of good and evil.

To be clear: I am done with this thread re: LtdGovt and I will be around, just not in this specific thread. got it? Good day.

Acknowledged.
