I put it down to the fact that he's so young; so articulate; and some of us so resentful of this.

As I was mentioned in this post,I think I have the right to reply.I agree, I get soo tired of somebody who keeps on trying to get there points across. People need to move on. There is no point in arguing your point in post # 2, and still arguing your point in post #200. That is really tiring and as a moderator, I get tired of it. I Hope it stops. Make your point...and when you reply think of a nice way of writing it.
"I see what you are saying, but maybe I think you are wrong, Could it be...." might be nicer way to debate and not totally refusing to see the other side, or basically calling the other people on the forum stupid because they don't agree with you. I am not only talking about HGM, but also FRS, slowrx7/watery...ect....
remember ohms, any excuse is a bad excuse.
I post with an argument,when I feel it is necessary to clear up a point made by another poster which I disagree with or is implictly subjective but portrayed as objective.I continue to re-post because often the other poster ASKS for evidence which I try & show & also further develop my original hypothesis stated.
However,if the other poster changes his argument(eg from simply using a 1 time example & then saying it is a larger problem) I usually will ALSO point this out - saying it is inconsistent with his original argument.Similarly,if the poster mis-quotes one of my posts I will show it was inconsitent.
Lastly,please find a "quote" of mine referring to any other poster where I call them stupid/crazy/foolish (or even implying it by saying "it is crazy to think" or "it is painfully obvious" or "it is foolish to believe").
As I remember (& I may be mistaken) I have never used derogatory comments nor insults EVER - so Bobby,don't "label" me as such.

What I meant was not actually calling somebody flat out stupid, but in a non-direct way. People arguing about certain topics. You have posted many times (this is my last post on this subject) which is really rude, and basically calling the other persons argument retarted in a non-direct way, you also are saying that I don't care what you are writing about, I am write...again in a non-direct way.
Basically you are saying one thing, but it could mean something else.
The "last post" is simply a way to say that IMO the debate is "sterile" & I will allow others to continue but NOT be involved.Also,this is NOT rude as it is a reply rather than ignoring the other poster (which is if done is impolite).
That is your assumption - it is actually POSSIBLE you mis-interprete the actual post,no ?
.Once an argument has become sterile then there is no point in continuing to debate especially if the other poster does not accept the argumentation or changes his main argumentation point.This is not about Right or wrong...

It's extremely rude. You quite often become emotional about things, and become very sensitive and rude. Then, you find all kinds of things to become insulted about all the time. It becomes pretty darn tiring.

Fair enough,I will stick to BMO forums.No problem.
Problemo?
Or will you?
o
Nobody suggested that at all.Fair enough,I will stick to BMO forums.No problem.
so long as we are clear that even when asked by someone to leave them alone and just stop replying - you wont.
notice you didnt answer why the application of "just dont reply"
is appropriate for you to suggest to others,
but not appropriate for you to impose on yourself.
but no matter , you proved the point for me.
Problemo?
Will you stop bashing HGM, MDM, it's all you've been doing for the last week.
Also notice that after immediately correcting an error regarding "editing"
and replying that i had made that statement unfairly,
you took me town anyway.
subjective selective comprehension
an inability to show repect for others opinion,
endless replies to people who dont want to talk to you.
heres something for you to do
have a look at a few of the closed threads ,
count the number of your posts in that thread
and determine the % of the total.
do that for a few threads.
Im certain the raw numbers easily support
"one of the primary antagonists".
therefore unfit for mod responsibilities.
all he has to do is not reply ....
and he could have asked me to explain that other thread via im.
they chose the public board route
