This will be controversial.

Funny, I’ve found the same with yourself. (tho I agree with the locked bodytypes)

Maybe we should have a poll?

(Mad Hatter) #143

That might be…controversial. puts on sunglasses YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

(Wraith) #144

Aren’t you the clever one. :cool:

(tokamak) #145

If you spot flaws then by all means point them out, usually I even have to highlight the weak points in my thesis to get the conversation going.

(JeP) #146

Please keep it to pm…

(tokamak) #147

We could’ve taken it to tags but alas.

(DarkangelUK) #148

Well y’see, that’s where the pig headed part comes in :slight_smile: Look it up. You’re definitely not the only one (a few have been for apparent in recent threads), but you do excel at it very well.

(tokamak) #149

I still think you’re confusing it with being plain right.

(DarkangelUK) #150

I think you’re just proving my point with each reply.

(tokamak) #151

That’s okay, I get that a lot and not just on this forum. Calling me that is mostly used as a cop-out, either that or someone actually agrees with me but wants to demonstrate he’s not conforming to me.

(DarkangelUK) #152

Oh I agree, you are right sometimes, we agreed on the locked bodytype per match… just a pity that you’re usually pig headed more than you’re right, like now… which is a shame.

(tokamak) #153

Just don’t ever think calling someone pig-headed is a valid counter-argument to anything, it’s just causing a show, a substitute for a lack of any substantial arguments. It’s nothing but a personal attack.

(DarkangelUK) #154

It wasn’t part of an argument, it was an accurate observation… now you’re just trying to steer away from the statement. I’m happy with it, and you agreed… why now try double back and counter it?

(tokamak) #155

I didn’t agree. It’s a rather common linguistic trap. There’s no way you can enter in on a argument about how stubborn you are and win. I’m just fine with whatever people call me.

(Linsolv) #156

Actually it’s an ad hominem fallacy. You’re attacking the points he’s made in other threads by saying that he’s a “bad person.” Sure, you didn’t say those words. You said “pig-headed.” The point is that instead of addressing his other threads (or this thread) you attacked his personality.

(tokamak) #157

Aye, pig-headed or not, it doesn’t make me wrong. I’d appreciate it if you could elaborate how and why I am wrong rather than just insinuate it.

(DarkangelUK) #158

Now that’s complete avoidance, and the age old typical ‘prove it’, which strengthens it again… did you read up on the meaning of pig headed? If you did, then you’d know that, regardless of elaboration, your pig headedness would never concede, which would turn it into a pointless venture… like this very conversation. “I’m not pig headed and you’ll never convince me otherwise!”, are you even seeing the irony here? I’d say our latest escapade of the grinding and penalty discussion is a prime example, though hats off, you conceded in that one… eventually.

(tokamak) #159

It’s a blatant ad hominem. Saying someone is wrong but refusing to say why is nothing but a passive aggressive façade.

like this very conversation. “I’m not pig headed and you’ll never convince me otherwise!”, are you even seeing the irony here?

Arguing against being pig-headed is a catch-22 Did you even read my posts? I didn’t bite .You wouldn’t know how often people try me to lure me down that path. I’m sure this particular game has a fancy name and any English or Philosophy student wouldn’t have any trouble pointing it out.

I’d say our latest escapade of the grinding and penalty discussion is a prime example, though hats off, you conceded in that one… eventually.

Oh now I get it, you just want everyone to easily accept each other’s arguments, well tough.

I actually do understand your attitude though. Happens on many boards, people don’t like my aggressive approach regardless of their own take on the matter and just need to distantiate themselves from me so they can still take the same side but not get confused with my militancy. You see this appear in politics as well when different parties hold similar positions but need to stand out on their own, they just tell the others are wrong and add they’re either weak or yes, arrogant.

(Weeohhweeohh) #160

You like to hear yourself talk don’t you? My ad hominem attack rating just went up.
