Gilrandir vs Immune "System"

[Fragony]

Others have been bullied by you and don't dare even to complain.

Oh common, a sharp response and bullying isn't the same. Sarmatarian has a talent for sarcasm that's all

Which isn't really the most useful of talents. Good with numbers, Goalscorer and 25cm penis were already taken.

The latter is more of a curse, since it won't be able to fit.

I know, got them right here

[Gilrandir]

Well, while we're at it, "rock solid" is a misnomer since rocks aren't really as solid as is implied......

You and your double standards.

Rock solid is a metaphor, not a misname. Misnames aren't bothersome unless they become terms.

Also, I don't dislike Gilrandir. He is intelligent and he can be a lot of fun when he is not being purposefully obtuse.

What a progress! Only a while ago I was a know nothing who doesn't have a clue in things he discusses.

[Sarmatian]

Nah. You just tend to be purposefully obtuse a LOT.

[Hooahguy]

Just a reminder to keep it civil.

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Way to spoil the fun. Just for this, I'm withdrawing my support. Good luck becoming a moderator without my Grey Eminence level abilities.

You see, I warned you I would be no fun as a mod, and I don't want the job anyway.

Wait - if I've managed to modify Sarmation's opinion without recourse to any moderation tool, does that mean I'm better suited for the post?



Wait - is this spam? Am I a bad poster now?

Excuse me, I'll be in the corner having an existential crisis.

Relax Mr. Horner. Have a slice of pie.

If you find such occurences frequent, how can you be sure I'm intelligent (which you seem to spot rarely) and not naturally dumb (which you seem to spot as often as not)?

Little telltale signs. You tend to be most difficult in discussions involving Ukraine and/or Russia, which is understandable to a degree as you're much more emotionally invested in them than the rest of us. It takes a rather strong conscious effort to ignore that little bit of nationalism we all have.

In other threads you tend to be more objective although your desire to argue semantics makes you sometimes look like you're arguing for the sake of arguing.

The problem with many people here (including you) is that you don't differentiate between nationalism and patriotism.

In other threads you tend to be more objective although your desire to argue semantics makes you sometimes look like you're arguing for the sake of arguing.

I have many other joys and sorrows to attend to to argue for the sake of arguing. Arguing semantics stems from my linguistic background, so it is professionally motivated. But, again, it is not for the sake of arguing.

How about those of us who are ardent nationalists just 2-3 steps short of jingoism?

You know I have an intellectual crush on you, I could never be mad at you.
