Basically, your argument boils down to "completely misrepresent my position".
OK, if all you want to do is argue with someone making a completely different point to mine, then fine, go ahead. Unless you're going to read my posts and respond to them, this conversation's over. Well done defeating that strawman you built though! That was awesome!

Translation: the other guys "don't make sense" so I'm not playing anymore.

Hah! Way to back down gracefully...

Yep - you just take what I wrote, throw it away, and replace what you would like me to say, and call it a win! Way to go Greg - let's hope you're not training to be a defense lawyer, eh?

It means "Read The Effin' Link." In this case, that would be the links he posted explaining a cartel, oligopoly, etc, which is presumably how he got to the conclusion that no cartel was involved.

That could also apply to the actual case, which I posted earlier in the thread. It might help you understand how/why you're disagreeing with the Canadian Courts' interpretation of our Charter.

The links he links to indicate that the behavior looks exactly like a cartel, which is why, once assumes, he has no response to the question aside from emoticons. Bzzz. Try again.
