TraSoul82:
Just like you were wrong when you stated that any extremely skilled martial artist can beat any street fight every time.
That... was/is definitely my opinion. I won't fault you for not seeing that, because I didn't preface my statement with 'In my opinion'.
And when others sit idly by while you 'police' message boards, making sure that everyone comes off as consistently intelligent or consistently ignorant/unintelligent, that makes everyone else agreeable while you come off as the a-hole giving out his opinion without anyone ever asking.
You've got a lot of correcting to do, both online and offline, if you've made that one of your missions or purposes in life, bro.
knightngale: who the hell asked you?
Go back to the Lakers thread, man.
It's amusing (and by 'amusing', I mean 'unbelievably frustrating') whenever I get into it with someone and 9 people think they can piggyback onto the argument by bringing up previous arguments, like that's even remotely helpful or fair (or mature
). After over 10 years, maybe I still don't get how important internet discussions are to people.
Be easy, y'all. I'm not out to get you. For crying out loud, I just want to have some peaceable discussions, disagreements, and debates. People always get so 'sens-a-tive', then jump out when they see me debatin with someone else down the line. Fall back, calm down, and be easy. No one gets any points for any of this.
Now I'm going to sit back and see if you're going to respond to what I just said to knightngale, or if you're going to answer my question about where MC OTAKU said that he was comparing Butterbean to Tyson and Genki Sudo to Bruce Lee, something I said that he never said (and you're saying I am absolutely incorrect).
It's all good man... I really do what I do just to see how people react when they're asked to explain themselves. It's not really a"mission." It's more of a hobby. One thing I do have to
@ is having a message board admin accuse me of internet policing.
I'm sure you can see the irony in that. But anyway, I don't have a beef with you or anything and I never have. This isnt the first time we haven'tseen eye to eye and it won't be the last. But I've seen you look for common ground we have like when you brought up how you were cynical like I am andI looked for common ground when you made the post about relationships (or lack thereof) with mothers. So there's really no need for falling back or calmingdown from my standpoint, cuz I'm not worked up over anything. I type the way I speak, its just that it comes off worse over the net. Maybe I'll tryusing more laughing emoticons or something.
As far as "comparison" discussion goes, I'll just say that just because a person doesn't state that they are comparing someone/thing, thatdoes not mean a comparison is not being made. I'll just leave it at that. Like I said, I'm not gonna argue the point any further.
...
What I will argue is that Bruce Lee is now more worshipped than he is respected. He was a man, and any man could go down on any given day. (Trying to steer theship back on course).
