"Can I just ask one question: what do you hope to achieve?"

Very little, except perhaps one thing, that while Vagabond boasts he is smugly dismissive of fashionable views such as atheism, when questioned he clearly has no grounds.

Moreover, all he himself is doing is subscribing to a fashionable view. There have been, starting a few years ago now, various editorials by liberal intelligentsia in the papers all parrotting the viewpoint "that Richard Dawkins eh? he's as bad as those he rails against, him and Christopher Hitchens, atheism is just another religion". Vagabond seems to have absorbed this via whatever orifice he takes things in (he talks out of his arse so it's reasonable to assume his various openings are similarly misused) and is parrotting it here presumably in the hope that we're all impressed by how cool he is. Well, when questioned on his views he's just not very good at backing them up with reasoned argument. In fact, he looks like a dick. And as long as people reading his responses realise that he's a dick then my work here is done. Well, that, and being sure that deep in his heart he's not quite so cocksure about himself, means my work here is done. I couldn't care less if people perceive me as arrogant, that's not the point.

And clearly, he cares, despite you asking why I expect him to.

Then I guess my next question would be;
Why do you care? More specifically, why do you care so much? Did Vagabond kill your family, and this is your long-awaited revenge or something?

Yes, Cairo in 1941, Vagabond gunned down my family in a dark alley because he was a field agent for the Gestapo.

Flippant answers aside, it just bugs the hell out of me to see someone parrotting mantras they've just been spoon-fed by the media without question in the assumption that they're right without ever having examined what they're saying. It especially bugs the hell out of me when it's coupled with hypocrisy, as in this instance. Vagabond hates people believing trendy things like atheism when all he's doing is repeating the crappy editorials of the Grauniad or the Telegraph.

Some people have a compulsion to correct the spelling and grammar of others online, some people like telling people to piss off to 4chan, I like to point out relativistic bullshit when I spot it. Each to their own.

I too like to point out bullshit, but I also have a real job as well.
Hence my short replies.

Some people you'll get nowhere with, though.

If you could point out someone who isn't a hypocrite that would be grand, ta.

Good work on the arrogant assumptions about my reading habits, personality, etc, by the way.

Pffft.

I love pointing and laughing at hypocrites like my shit doesn't stink.

Just like everyone else.

Well, I was made redundant myself so I have some time to kill. I refuse to apologise for it.

I admit, I may be wrong about your reading habits. Based on the evidence today, you don't read.
