But by declaring that a simple question makes me insane kind of points out how valid your "liar" claims are.

The question you asked was "Rum to what end?" How was anyone suppose to figure out that you actually meant was "Are you picky about what rum you drink?"

And yeah, I'll drink crap Bacardi off the rail if I have to, but if they have something like Sailor Jerry or Black Seal I'd much prefer that. Depends on the bar whether I'd even bother to ask though.

See why does everything have to be  a war with you. Simple answer to a simple question.

Why are you content with your ****** communication skills, and fight so hard against criticism or suggestions of ways you can improve them?

This is not talking where you can see facial expressions and hear sarcasm or hyperbole. This is static typed speech.

Right, which is why your ability to communicate clearly is even more important. And yet you seem to think the lack of visual and inflection clues makes it less important.

The fact that the kids invented a kind of verbal shorthand for online conversations shows that an overt technical rules system doesnt encourage conversation.

If I say something you dont understand just ask.

LOL w/e

Baseball thread's up there, fool.

This is what, year 4 of you two doing this?  You should pick a date and start celebrating an anniversary.

I have offered to stop all the personal antics and stick to serious debates about watercooler issue but Anton refuses. He heeds this feud!

Oh, you want to debate water cooler issues? OK. What did you think of Nigel's giant "**** you" to the voters last week on SYTYCD?

I think it showed a certain amount of balls to reject the format and decide that everyone did well.

There are going to be weeks when multiples suck badly and then 2 teams can be eliminated.

I think his decision may have made bad tv, but good dance sense.
