Ok, to be honest, I don't think its as bad as you're purporting and I don't really mind people not liking me...love and hate aren't really that far off and if I'm the villain, then I'll wear my suit proudly. I didn't want the dialogue to get like this with any of you, alas it has and we all have to deal with it, and I'm fine with it. However you want to dish out the cards, I'm always ante-ing up.

You are the only person I've ever encountered crazy and self-centered enough to think that every single comment and every single post you make, no matter how small or repetitive, demands a response from the other person, otherwise it is some kind of bizarre sign of weakness. Insane.

It was getting a bit "online ******* contest" and for that I apologize...everyone is/was just saying the same thing after a while. Picking and choosing what you respond to is weak...tell me why you/I/anyone shouldn't address EVERYTHING that someone posts to us? That's respect, that's common decency, it shows you have the sack to deal with stuff. Yes it is only an online messageboard, but if all you're going to say is "I'm over it" and reply to only what you want, then that's weak and incredibly underwhelming. Stand and deliver. I do it for everyone...I only expect out of folks what I expect out of myself.

As far as "handling" you goes, you couldn't carry my jock if you had a friggin' pick-up truck. Two pick-up trucks. I have more challenging arguments with my 10-year-old cousin.

Again, probably a bit over the top on my part...just getting frustrated at the end of the night I guess. I'll say it again, the main problem on these boards here isn't what I say, its how you all REACT to it and read things into my posts that aren't even there to begin with. You spin a lot of my posts so that I'm evil, stupid, ridiculous, etc, and rightly or wrongly, I won't back down.

As far as you're concerned my only 2 options are to agree with you and guys like you while perhaps kissing your ***, or leave...and I won't do either. I don't just blindly accept things that people (that aren't in the know mind you) tell me...never have, never will, especially if my opinion is different. I just don't conform, kowtow, etc just because dalter says so...you may have other HDers under your thumb, but not me...you're not my god.

Colonels. .that. . 'You haven't responded to every word in my post' thing isn't so much a sign of weakness in others, but a rather convenient excuse you use to avoid answering questions yourself when you know the answer would go badly for you. I respond to everything...asking people to do the same is somehow blasphemy or sacrilege...give me a break man...that routine is tired.

FOr instance you thinking its unfair to say that you should take to heart your own 'advice' of being less blligerant and perhaps learning something. You're no saint either. Everybody just expects me to do what they say here and that just isn't happening. I try to change my ways, but when you guys don't change yours, I keep crawling back to my old ways and I'll argue anyone to the death about anything.

YOu seem to presume that your opinion is the defacto truth where? and that everyone else has to prove YOU wrong I'm a hard guy to sway/convince, and just because I don't conform as people want me to, I'm the bad guy this that and the other., when, wether you like it or not, when your opinion is in the massive and overwhelming majority YOU not everyone else, have the burden of proof. Whoever makes a claim is subject to prove it, period. That is, in fact, how it works in the real world. ALthough I know you and the real world don't have a very solid relationship as you keep dissing it at every possible opportunity. Wow...unreal.

I provided you with an example; How about for once you say, "Wow, I tried to call you out and it blew up in my face and now I look like an A-Hole" This type of post is exactly the crap Im talking about with you...

I do, but I know you'll bring up the thread, whichever one it is, where I said that I'll respond to you after you finally man up and address everything I said. Again, its funny that you want/EXPECT me to respond to every last post you make, but when I ask you to return the favor, it somehow doesn't apply...that makes you skirting points even weaker.....just saying.

Burden of proof goes to the person making the outrageous or abnormal claim.

If you are making the claim everyone else disagrees with YOU need to prove your claim, its not their business to disprove it., Anyone who makes any claim is subject to prove it, period.
