That ole google some fudge will not admit he is wrong and wants everyone else to think he is right, so to disagree with him is unthinkable unless he believes you are a redneck moron like me. 😏
I do it all the time.
But you actually have to demonstrate that I'm wrong not just assert it.
This whole conversation has been me asking ToO to provide an explanation of why he thinks I'm wrong.
I want to hear arguments as to why I might be wrong because if I am right my arguments should be better.
If they're not I want to know that so I can correct my mistake.
I am not however prepared to play ToO's games just to get his view.
If he isn't prepared to back up his assertions without me placating his ego then I'm not interested.
My position stands as the only one actually backed up with reasoned argument.
If he wants to dispute that he can provide his own.
Till then he's just boring.
Although not nearly so boring as you.

Let's me see, you're the one who took my directing a response to the OP as a personal affront, yet you believe that I'm the one with ego issues.
You're the one who insisted that simply because you had also posted a response to the OP that someone directing a response to the OP necessarily needed to address your post as well, yet you believe that I'm the one with ego issues.
You're the one who deemed me an 'ass' and 'boring' simply because I didn't cater to your petulant demands, yet you believe that I'm the one with ego issues.
You should learn about 'projection'. Perhaps it'll help you mature a bit:
Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person subconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, usually to other people. Thus, projection involves imagining or projecting the belief that others originate those feelings.[1]
Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted unconscious impulses or desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them.
An example of this behavior might be blaming another for self failure. The mind may avoid the discomfort of consciously admitting personal faults by keeping those feelings unconscious, and by redirecting libidinal satisfaction by attaching, or "projecting," those same faults onto another person or object.
You're really something else, GF. That said, my offer still stands. I'm still willing to cater to your petulant demands, if you're willing to demonstrate a little bit of maturity.

Your setting conditions that you knew googlefudge would not accept was pretty transparent, even for you.

Originally posted by ThinkOfOneNo axe to grind. I think my arguments in the spanking thread were considerably better than yours, but I am not worried if you disagree.
Just pointing out that you have an axe to grind and as such have a skewed view.
I am more than happy to admit I didn't understand a word of what googlefudge posted.
But I also don't think that you really believe you can defeat his argument. Hence the setting of those silly conditions.
You've done this before, and I expect you'll do it again.

Originally posted by Rank outsiderAs I recall your argument rested largely on 'authorities' on spanking who are about as well regarded as the 'authorities' that creationists trot out. And you, like them, kept insisting that you had a valid argument. Not surprised that you, like them, are still insistent.

And now, here on this thread where you admit that you don't understand what GF is talking about, are still trying to somehow wedge your axe.
How can anyone take your comments as anything but what they are: trolling? And a very silly attempt at that?

I think you would benefit from a little self-reflection, rather than always trying to pin the blame on others.

Originally posted by Rank outsiderI've proved my points. I imagine that if you were able to refute anything that I've said to you, you would have.

That said, what do you think that you could possibly gain by drawing out your silly attempt at trolling?
Originally posted by Rank outsiderAck. That's not good.
I am more than happy to admit I didn't understand a word of what googlefudge posted.
I am more than willing to try again if my first post was unclear...
Could you give me a hint as to where it was I lost you?
It would help to know where to start in reformulating the argument.

And I don't think you believe I am a troll. If you did, you would have jumped in on me on the Health Risks of Gay Sex thread. But I think you were quite happy with my line there.
So, if I was not being a troll there, why would you think I am being one here?
I think you are confusing troll with someone who doesn't agree with you and draws attention to your lack of grace and good manners.
