Spoiler tags, dumbass!

It's pretty damn funny to see all the hype building up around the release of the patch. It reminds me of the hype that was created around a certain game, sequel of a GotY, which, despite being a great game, failed to rewrite The Book of CRPGs as we know it. You see, when the game was released, fans everywhere were disappointed because it was just another game. I have a feeling this patch will be just another patch in that it will just fix some of the game's issues, but not all of them, and it will not greatly improve the game's overall quality. Due to the overhype, fans everywhere will feel disappointed again and the tide of posts demanding some random stuff from OE or LA will resume. Ah, the busy life of a hater...

Whoa, what's this? GoA hijacking a thread? Women sure do have a bad effect on you, matey.

No, not really.

Qui-Gon Jinn was unable to cut through a blast door in TPM, and he had to stand still pretty close to it for quite some time to even try. So no, lightsabers can't cut through anything like a hot knife through butter. Then why didn't he do that when the Jedi came to kick his ass? He didn't even try, he just ran in fear to his Sith-lab. Everything had to be Sith with him, didn't it?

Oh, my! Darque's in a posting spree! Run for your lives! :ph34r:

Hmm. Ok, you got me there. That's what I get for trying to appear pompous in a language that is not native to me. Luckily for me, I no longer have to submit school papers. ) Nope. I didn't admit his underlying point actually stands. I admitted that it might stand, from your far-fetched perspective, or whatever. I didn't wish deviate from the issue by discussing that issue at that particular moment, and that's why once more, I chose my words carefully. ) No. You are not understanding it correctly. Someone adamant about an easy yet wrong argument is indeed stupid. Someone who has joined recently or has not had much participation in the discussions here is indeed a n00b. Someone who mixes, takes out of context, or purposefully makes malicious (and erroneous) interpretations is twisting. And if that someone also uses rhetoric to hide personal attacks, he is being surreptitious. Hope that clears it up. But yes, I try my best to have a dismissal ready for any contingency. You have my permission to use it as a siggy. But if you do, you will be showing to everyone that you don't know the difference between having friends and being popular. And that won't make you very popular or earn you any friends. Everyone's entitled to their own fantasies. And I already elaborated in a previous quote. Can you prove I chose my username for that particular reason? Didn't think so. Next. So? It disarmed your entire argument, and you admitted yourself that I was right. What are you trying to prove? I'm not as sneaky as you are, I tell what I want to tell plain and bluntly. Don't try to find second meanings in my posts. Obviously it's you who is confused. Read it through again, take a glass of hot milk with a drop of honey, and call me in the morning. Really, is this your concept of baiting the troll? Discussing rhetoric and trying to make you fall for fallacies isn't quite my idea of "fun".

Yay! You finally got to use that totally irrelevant little bit of info you memorized for some odd reason you can no longer remember. :ph34r:

Uh, he's posting nothing but facts. He wasn't joking about the time zones... "

No, that's not quite what I meant.

Sounds like a... taxing... way of meditating.

Just to play devil's advocate here, religious proponents don't usually claim that their postulates make sense. If they did, they would leave the door open for logic based attacks that would tear their doctrines to pieces. Instead, they rely on Faith, Divine Virtue, or any other of their rhetorical gimmicks. It doesn't have to make sense, you have either been granted the divine boon that is Faith, or you haven't. So claiming that "it doesn't make sense" isn't enough. Alas, nothing is.

Of course I'm arguing for argument's sake. I'm bored as hell. That doesn't imply that my points weren't valid, though. I haven't made any contradictions as you seem to be attempting to infer. And while his underlying point may stand, the argument he made is still invalid; no matter how hard you try to fix it, it's still broken. So don't put words in other people's mouths. No. My opinion played no part in the sentence at all. The original point was that his opinion simply wasn't shared by everyone else as he seemed to think, a fact that stemmed from the premise that he is not the whole forum. No matter how many inexisting fallacies you try to call or how twisted your discourse may be, you are not going to drive me away through confusion. You are mixing things here. I don't have friends in the forum, which has nothing to do with my popularity here. And I do know that at least one person doesn't consider me abrasive, because there is a post in this very thread that says so. Search for it yourself, I have enough work already going through the twisted rhetoric you consider "arguing". And it's 100% true I have no lovers in the boards. Your point? You said that, not me. Those are just random numbers to me. It's called choosing your words carefully. Keep trying and some day you might learn to do it too. But so far, I am right, and you are holding to assumptions and interptetations of my posts, while I just have to point to the literal meaning. Heh. Not much subtlety there, pal. "I'm not saying that's you, of course, but I'm going to go to great lengths to imply exactly that". Nah, not good enough. Well, you are progressing from simply twisted logic to surreptitious personal attacks. Running out of patience so soon? I see. So if the joke wasn't aimed at me (since you are implying I'm the butt of the joke), it was aimed to somebody else. Let's see, that can only be you or the other readers. If it was aimed to make you laugh, well, people who make jokes for themselves are somewhat sad. And if the point was to be funny in the eyes of the other posters, you have effectively assumed the "attention-whore" stereotype that every troll strives to accomplish. I don't know what's worse.

Gold.

Well, it's a pretty good pic of "Darth Ninolous" indeed.

Care to elaborate?

It's a mess indeed. But the funny bit is that you can't really prove them wrong. Sure, they made up some random stuff about the nature of existence, but go ahead and try to prove them wrong using that very pragmatism with which you see everything else through.

Cool. I was rather bored. On the contrary. He made a baseless assertion which could only be proved if he was indeed the whole forum. Something obviously impossible. Thus, his original statement was flawed at the base. You already dealt with this on the last quote. Since it was part of the same sentence, it was meant to deal with the same point. Your attempt to strenghthen your post by duplicating points has failed. I only pointed to the fact that his opinions aren't universal, as opposed to young infants who actually believe their reality is the only possible reality. This was in consonance with Nur's assuming his opinion was automatically shared by the rest of the forum, which is obviously false. And I dare you to point a single post of mine in which I declared myself "leet". You mistake observation of the obvious with criticism. This statement could be applied in the same measure if I said "you are a poster", and you answered "Indeed I am". You really need to do better. I never stated he needed the 'net to search for friends. But since he pointed to the fact that I don't have any friends here, it's only logical to assume that he thinks that he (or someone else) does. If he didn't, the criticism wouldn't really be applicable, thus making the whole point moot. That is a pretty good example itself of a reductio-ad-absurdum fallacy as well. And not a very funny one at that, if that was your intention.

Only he didn't say he's an atheist. He probably isn't judging from the content of his post. And hey, who knows. Perhaps in three or four thousand years, they will believe WWII to be a myth, too. Oversimplification rules, eh Nur?

And for the next Pope...

Just to clear up a few fundamental concepts. You are not the whole forum, thus your opinion on what the whole membership thinks of me isn't law. This works in a similar way as an young infant assuming he's the centre of the universe. Draw your own conclusions. I know I don't have a single friend here. Neither do you for that matter. The difference between you and me, my socially challenged friend, is that I fully acknowledge this fact, while you delude yourself. I find it rather sad that you chose the 'net as a means to find friends, and perhaps it's an indication that in fact, the lone loser here isn't me.

Pragmatism at its finest.

A rather short-sighted comment, might I add. In fact, His Sanctity has done a lot of great things, such as having a pivotal role in the catastrophic disintegration of the USSR, and magnifying the great impact AIDS is having in Africa due to the Vatican's ban of the condom. Rest In Pieces.

Not for the likes of you, that's for sure.
