I'm sure if we look at stats on here we'd see you spend considerably more time on here than me. By a factor of a thousand, I should think.
I'm currently working, so while I'm at a computer I can switch between earning a good living and laughing at you. I suspect most posts from everyone else on this subject do not fall into that category.
So all you've proved really is "make b3ta aware I've not got a life".

Also, in the title of your original post, you appear to have (with some hyperbole) called this a "battle of wits". And yet, no-one (especially not you) is trying to win this battle?
Are you telling us, that you didn't start this whole new thread, about a battle of wits, in order to try to win it?

Before you pat yourself on the back, this post isn't the reference to the battle of wits - so you got that one wrong before we even start.
This isn't a social network for me (unlike some). I don't have "50 friends on Facebook from this site" so I have nothing to win - or lose - whatever happens. I just switch to another tab on my browser and you're all forgotten.
Some, however, have certainly invested much of their life building up a presence here and are known to each other. My total of around 20 minutes of typing in the past few days hardly counts as any investment at all.
Oh, and by the way, you can't apply logical arguments here, seeing as any of my logical arguments have been met with silence or, in most cases, childish insults. You have to look at both sides before you can draw conclusions, but you haven't, so doesn't say much for your reasoning power, does it?
( , Tue 4 Mar 2014, 18:21, closed)
![This is a QotW comment](/images/board_posticon.gif)
To deal with your fallacious reasoning point by point:
1# The OP of this thread is entitled "I got tangle up in a battle of wits where the opponent was only half prepared..."
The body of the OP of this thread links to, presumably, the "battle of wits" that you were trapped in, but which you claim you were not trying to win.
2# "I have nothing to win or lose because I don't care enough"
Simply not caring that you've lost doesn't mean you haven't lost. Lack of investment in an outcome does not change that outcome. You appear to be willfully mistaking the concept of "personal loss" which is your own subjective opinion, and about which no-one here cares, and "argument loss" which is what we were all talking about.
3# "Some people here have spent a lot of time here, [I'm inferring this next clause] so they've got something to lose"
Well, maybe they have. But regardless of what they MAY lose, none of them has lost the argument. Again... personal loss, and argument loss: different.
4# "You can't use logic here, because I tried it once, failed, and everyone either ignored me or insulted me."
But I can use logical arguments here:
1) Because logic remains correct, regardless of opinion
2) You've been so monumentally rubbish that your arguments can be crushed with only the most paltry amount of consideration.
3) I'm not you, so haven't marked myself out for excessive ridicule (ok, bring it on now, guys)
Incidentally, I get ignored quite a lot when demolishing, point-by-point, inadequates like yourself, because frankly it isn't very funny, and serves only as an exercise in making myself feel superior at the expense of someone else (you). I do it anyway because sometimes QOTW gets very slow, and the best entertainment to be had from it is picking on some deserving idiot (like yourself) and having at them for the fuck of it.

And you're putting a lot of effort (or typing a lot at least) into trying to prove a point. Unfortunately you got a few things wrong. Again.
Apart from not actually addressing some of my comments, you seem to be under the illusion there there is an argument going on in this thread. Obviously, and often by their own admission, many of the posts are just personal insults. You may think that's an argument, but with your flawed logic, anything is possible I suppose.
The initial supposition in point 4 invalidates the rest of the argument pretty much as you're applying opinion to set the state to which you apply logic.
I have to give it to you though, you are the only person to actually answer with anything more intelligent and original than "Your mum".
Shame it's not much more intelligent though.

Amazingly for someone who is apparently above the age of 5, you proved it by attempting to argue that there isn't. Any further attempt to deny this will count as barefaced lies.
Anyway, I have enumerated your failings, and pretty much addressed all the points you made, in order. You claim I'm incorrect but don't even have the common decency to provide evidence in support... you simply contradict, with no supporting evidence or reasoning, yet you treat your statements like facts. So, you're at around the middle of the argument pyramid. Which means that you're not outrageously awful, in the grand scheme of things, but you could definitely use some serious improvement.

Let me explain, you've missed the point I've been trying to help you with here.
Most "views" here have merely been insults. If you're basing your view of someone on one post, or even replies to meaningless insults and deliberate misunderstandings, then your original view is very much on shaky ground, and you'd be the 'fucking idiot' as you put it.
You certainly can't claim Shambo et al have been even trying to put a serious view across. By their own admission they aren't trying to do that.
It wouldn't say this is an exchange of views at all - more like mud slinging to get a rise form someone. There is a difference you clearly have missed, and your desperation to be taken seriously then results to insults from yourself.
Bravo.

Do you agree with me?
Three choices here:
1) You agree; you are an idiot, this is concluded with you being an idiot.
2) You disagree; you don't think you're an idiot, therefore we're having an argument. Therefore you're an idiot.
3) You continue replying, using verbal chicanery, making reference to stuff Shambo said as though it in some way undermines what I'm saying, then strut about declaring "I'm not having any arguments with anyone" in order to continue the argument. Which makes you an idiot.

You cry that everyone is insulting you with predicatble memes, yet to the one person who deigned to treat you like a human being (rather than an inappropriate puddle of watered-down piss) you proudly regurgitate the same insults.
You've lowered your own (already pitiful) standards to the point that every single insult you've leveled at your detractors is now applicable to yourself. You yourself have provided a mountain of evidence of your own idiocy, your willingness to sacrifice your own (already pitiful) principles, and your basic inability to read and comprehend very simple chains of logic.
In short, you've not only provided the final nail in your own coffin, you've most graciously beveled the corners, sanded it down, and triple coated it in varnish. My work here is finished.
