Oh teh irony - this thread ain't far from being locked...

(d) someone can't read, and blames others for his ignorance

You used the word "acceptable", implying I was saying otherwise -- I was trying to explain how I was not calling his post "unacceptable", but rather just contradicting him and/or calling him names.

-10 reading comprehension points for you, -5 writing comprehensibly points for me.

Not a chance, funniest thread evar!

It's like special olympics slow pitch softball

You just can't stop. How much further in your mouth can you insert your foot? I'm guessing your about at your ankle at this point.

And again, spin-doctoring to your own agenda (in this case, defending Aaron).

I suppose it does have enough of the funnay to remain open.

I don't think any of this is about defending aaron, particularly.

Dude the only one spinning here is you, as everyone takes a wack at you. I have no agenda. Certainly not one that includes defending Aaron. I did it because you were an ass and he wasn't. It is really very simple. I think you are moving past the ankle working your way towards your knee. We need an emoticon for someone swallowing themselves.

I like this one, but it's not quite the same thing...

Dusty, I think you've gone a long way at proving who the ass is here. In case that's too subtle, it's not immtbiker. His use of hyperbole was perfectly appropriate to make the point he made. It was not inflammatory. It was to make a point that I seens to have been lost on you.

Okay, I think I finally got grawk's point -- I completely misunderstood. He was saying Aaron was not being subtle, I.E. using hyperbole. So in a sense, by my saying that what he was saying was inflammatory, I was agreeing with him. But with you, I'm still lost -- you're saying he was using hyperbole, but that it was not inflammatory -- so which is it? I think you accidentally followed my lead a little bit -- Dan was saying that it's perfectly acceptable to be inflammatory when subtlety doesn't work -- which in this case, was not being used at all (yes?).

I don't think I ever blamed anyone else for my ignorance, I just didn't understand what was going on. I take full responsibility for my mistake.

Oh, and Mike, you want to take a whack at me? Fuck off and die.

Bingo, I think. I was saying he was using hyperbole to make a point and that it wasn't inflammatory.

I'm confused, did anyone actually rape anyone? WTF is going on here? Jeezus.

How's this?

Bingo, I think. I was saying he was using hyperbole to make a point and that it wasn't inflammatory.

No, there was a question in there, I.E. which is it? My point was that hyperbole can be inflammatory.

No, there was a question in there, about which is it? My point was that inflammatory ~= hyperbole.

The point is hyperbole isn't inflammatory, unless you're dense.

hyperbole doesn't equal inflammatory.

Jeez, keep up, it was just hyperbole.

The point is hyperbole isn't inflammatory, unless you're dense.

I disagree. Wikipedia says, "...It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression...", which sounds an awful lot like "inflame" to me. I thought you meant that it wasn't subtle. Let's just agree that hyperbole is a lot closer to inflammation than subtlety, 'kay?

(And yes, the next time someone uses hyperbole, I fully intend to use the line, "stop it, you're giving me an inflammation".)

I'm confused, did anyone actually rape anyone? WTF is going on here? Jeezus.

Well technically you can't call it rape when your wife consented.

Jeez, keep up, it was just hyperbole.

That was my one and only post relating to this little tiff you guys are having. If anyone is 'keeping it up', it's you.

Well technically you can't call it rape when your wife consented.

I'd appreciate if you keep any sex games that my wife and I may or may not take part in out of this discussion.

Oh don't worry, I was referring to the one her and I play.
