| Posted: | | | | Quoting surfeur51: Quote: I'm serious. You just do not see things like I do, as I generally have hard time when I try to understand your way of reasoning. Those differences should allow better discussion, but unfortunately they don't. This has nothing to do with reasoning and everythig to do with the meaning of the word 'quote'... quote: 1. to repeat (a passage, phrase, etc.) from a book, speech, or the like, as by way of authority, illustration, etc. 2. to repeat words from (a book, author, etc.). 3. to use a brief excerpt from: The composer quotes Beethoven's Fifth in his latest work. 4. to cite, offer, or bring forward as evidence or support. 5. to enclose (words) within quotation marks. What you did, in your original post, meets all 5 of those definitions...which is why I said, in response to your claim that you didn't quote anybody, "you can't be serious." Quote: BTW, you have much to say against my "attitude", but you never wrote anything about the reason of my post: people who consider other users as "merde "(in French to bypass automatic censorship). Probably in my case you agree... I am sorry, but you have it backwards as I said nothing about your attitude, for or against, and only addressed, what I saw, as the reason for your post...that reason being to get a rise out of Bad Father. Never, not once, did I say you were a bad guy for doing so, just that it was what I thought you were doing. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| Posted: | | | | Quoting TheMadMartian: Quote: Never, not once, did I say you were a bad guy for doing so, just that it was what I thought you were doing. You think so... Do you forget your post following Silence_of_Lambs nice statement: Quoting TheMadMartian: Quote: I see Silence saw it that way as well. Quoting Silence_of_Lambs ( post just before yours): Quote: It's obvious that the unfriendly atmosphere was, despite of his statement, exactly what he wanted to achieve.. You play easily with subtleties of your language to always explain what other users want to say, or justify yourself, always taking words in a specific post without taking the entire meaning of a long discussion. I cannot play that in your language, I'm not good enough in English, and anyway I do not want to play that sort of game. End of the story for me here, whatever you will write to explain you are right and I'm wrong... | | | Images from movies | | | Last edited: by surfeur51 |

Quoting Silence_of_Lambs (post just before yours):
Quote: It's obvious that the unfriendly atmosphere was, despite of his statement, exactly what he wanted to achieve.. No, I didn't forget what I wrote. I said your post would add to the unfriendly atmosphere, which is, pretty much, what Silence said...meaning he saw it the same way I did. I did not, however, say you were a bad guy for doing so. If I did, please be so kind as to quote that post, rather than the one that said nothing of the kind. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| Posted: | | | | Quoting Katatonia: Quote: This thread is a train wreck.
I want a goat for Christmas, and I shall name him Pedro. Pedro shall be indoctrinated in the ways of FUBAR. I shall feed him burritos and Budweiser. Wait, scratch that...no urine beer for Pedro. Dos Equis. He shall be the most interesting goat in the world.
Gimme my damn goat.

In other words, solving most of the problems with our species. With the size of the universe, there must be life out there. And the proof of that life being intelligent is that they avoid being discovered by us. | | | Hans |
