    I think this thread stopped being about scammers and became more about posturing a long time ago.

    I've had a couple long "debates" with David over the years, always good "fun" if hard work !! Disappointing to see tactics such as the above which aren't needed and display poor taste, opinions vary and that's just the way it goes. BTW I hate popcorn...

    I think it is classless to accuse someone of being "sexist" when they are simply trying to be polite. I think it is classless to verbally harangue and badger anyone who disagrees with him, and say words to the effect of "grow a thick skin or get out of the internet" to people who simply dont want to get into an antagonistic discussion. That is the mindset of a playground bully. David may know his pens, but he is a sorry, sorry excuse of a human being. I have absolutely no regrets for calling him out on his poo-flinging.

    And this isnt nasty. Not by a long shot.

    Yep. Any substance-oriented discussion will be productive ,as Hugh and I well know. The other stuff out there merely entertains me. The flounder-ish players provide me some nice insights into the behavior of those who cannot generate coherent substance-oriented positions. I find them most refreshing.

    Might be time for him to post more non antagonistic cartoons? hehehehe

    Weird that this critter offers me permission to know pens. Or did he mean, "might"? Just sayin'...

    Indeed, I am grateful for the insights it offers into those who cannot form strong cases for what passes for their positions.

    Thanks again for the entertainment.

    Your turn, matey.

    I remain validated too at having been such an early identifier of something odd in Renpei's notes.

    Tactic 27 from the LDM: "When you having nothing of substance to offer in discussion, declare "we are done""

    Also known as the "passive-aggressive flourish"

    Note, too, in keeping with the dysfunctional approach that leads some to have to live the Losing Debater's Manual, quite entertaining for those who do not live the LDM is that those who embrace tactic 27 from the LDM rarely allow themselves really "to be done".

    As this sequence reveals so very well in real time today

    At this point, I can't tell if you're referring to yourself or someone else.

    Since we're having trouble staying on topic I'll just close this thread.
