We've got a handful of christians and other religious people. Anyone else, if they are, tend not to say so because the large atheist/humanist community will jump on ya.

Most are nice, won't start arguments or bash your faith. Benign in particular will. Apparently we're "mystics" now

He literally won't budge an inch, respect you, even let you live in peace.

Those cows won't know what hit 'em. They won't know what hit them even after it hits them, because they're cows.

LOL Let me get this straight.

I only replied to ONE post.

She came and HAD TO ADD ON TO IT TO KEEP IT GOING.

Then it gets turned back at me.

Such classic moments like this at MacNN makes me smile.

Way to go guys.

You sure know how to call the kettle black.

A lil' touchy today? It's true though, andi pandi made a point about you, and you proved that point. Done, why is that so hard to take?

Laughing at the silliness makes me touchy how? No need to project ideals or emotions upon me that don't exist.

The only point they proved is that they too cannot leave things alone. You are helping them prove it as well.

Good job.

If you're arguing against Zimphire, you're both silly and projecting.

I was counting down the seconds until you used that word 'project' or any variation of it. The depth of your initial reply to me seemed a little 'touchy', was just saying out loudly a basic fact.

if you want to twist this around into us being a point proven, well, that's up to you, but you could have taken andi pandi's post with a little humour, sadly not.

I am sure you were expecting it since you did indeed do it.

The depth of your initial reply to me seemed a little 'touchy', was just saying out loudly a basic fact.

I am telling you now, I was not being touchy. My friend Rebekah was sitting right next to me when I was posting in this thread. She asked me what I was laughing so hard about.

if you want to twist this around into us being a point proven, well, that's up to you, but you could have taken andi pandi's post with a little humour, sadly not.
LOL I wasn't twisting anything around.

Thanks for proving my point again.

What you guys are basically saying is

"I am sick of Zimphire NEVER letting me get the last word in, and I want to so badly!"

Now that may not be the case, but it's coming off this way.

Oh God I can't believe I have been baited by one of Zimpy's posts in which I have to re-format the bugger cause he cuts the damn thing up with all his rhetoric.


Your words: 'The only point they proved is that they too cannot leave things alone. You are helping them prove it as well.'

No one is bating you. I am just replying to your posts. But if you need to feel like you are being baited, go ahead.

in which I have to re-format the bugger cause he cuts the damn thing up with all his rhetoric.

Rhetoric? Was that a compliment?

The art or study of using language effectively and persuasively


Your words: 'The only point they proved is that they too cannot leave things alone. You are helping them prove it as well.'

No, When I was told I can't leave things alone, I wasn't the one keeping it going on.

That is not twisting.

That is showing what is really going on.

As a matter of fact, I stopped replying after that "FAG" picture.

Let me give you a example.

Replying to a post that is replied to you is not "not letting it go"

But posting in a thread when no one replied over and over again, without anyone responding is not letting it go.

So if someone replies to a post of yours, and you reply back saying they have a inability to let it go, what you are really saying is "I wish he'd let me get the last word"

Which is being hypocritical.

And you keep adding to that point with every reply you make to my posts.

Oh **** off. You replied to my one comment about a point being proven, and you start your little molehill of whining from it, if you didn't intend to bait, then why reply?

1. I wasn't whining. You are projecting again.
2. Replying to a post, esp one directed towards you is not baiting.

Point proven, again, again, again...
Yes indeed.

But not the point you think is being proven.
