    Oh my god, you are really that stupid, aren't you? I was replying to YOU, not him! The fact that his quote was also included in my post is inconsequential - your message was the last quoted, and I was replying to YOU. Everyone here would see that. Plus5 could see that. Why can't you?
    So despite including both of our quotes, only mine deserved the "losing the argument" comment? Or is no one allowed to see that?

    American ethics and being christian don't really mix for me. Now if you followed a 'I'm allright Jack, fff the poor, be ultra selfish' religion, I'd have respect.

    I don't see how those are "American ethics", or any other ethics.

    It's very simple what your Jesus taught..its giving everything you have to help the meek...you car..sold..your house..sold...help the meek...failure to do this consigns you to your christian hell.

    In the passage that you seem to be citing, Jesus is talking to a rich man. He tells him that to get to Heaven, he has to give everything that he has to the poor. The rich man refuses. Jesus was making a point that the rich man cared more about what he had here than what he could have in Heaven.

    Maybe you need an explanation of quoting. When quoting to someone on a thread, the last thing written is the post that someone responds to. That also applies if there is multiple quotes in a post. So since you were the last one to be quoted, your post is the one that is being written about.

    Everyone who uses forums regularly knows that. If your whole argument hinges on the fact that I posted with two quotes, then you really need to go back to school or something, because you've just made yourself look an utter fool with this whole subject.

    That makes perfect sense now! Everyone should understand! :p

    [EDIT]

    Okay, where did your post go that I just quoted Karingal????

    I am easily confused ... this thread confuses me ... I say no-one is in the right, but all have a valid point ... I don't want to read further "points" from either side (though sadly I probably will because I am a sucker for thread-masochism).

    Maybe you only *wanted* to comment on my post, but by including plus5's you unfortunately left his post open to the same criteria. I admitted my mistake in thinking you were both the same user. I can only assume everything is in the clear light of day for you now and you're just a git with double-standards.
    Why aren't his posts subject to "usually the one who is losing the argument" line, no matter how many quotes they're nested in?

    True, but I was using the DanSolo (copyrighted) method of picking and choosing when meaning to use dependent on my stance at the time.

    I, of course, reserve the right to change meaning at any time in accordance with the DanSolo method.

    I don't think I've ever met someone as stupid as you. The level of stupidity you're showing over this matter defies logic.

    For some reason, I feel compelled to quote from one of the most incomprehensible books ever written.
    riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs. Sir Tristram, violer d'amores, fr'over the short sea, had passen- core rearrived from North Armorica on this side the scraggy isthmus of Europe Minor to wielderfight his penisolate war: nor had topsawyer's rocks by the stream Oconee exaggerated themselse to Laurens County's gorgios while they went doublin their mumper all the time: nor avoice from afire bellowsed mishe mishe to tauftauf thuartpeatrick: not yet, though venissoon after, had a kidscad buttended a bland old isaac: not yet, though all's fair in vanessy, were sosie sesthers wroth with twone nathandjoe. Rot a peck of pa's malt had Jhem or Shen brewed by arclight and rory end to the regginbrow was to be seen ringsome on the aquaface. The fall (bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonner- ronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenth ur- nuk!) of a once wallstrait oldparr is retaled early in bed and later on life down through all christian minstrelsy. The great fall of the offwall entailed at such short notice the pftjschute of Finnegan, erse solid man, that the humptyhillhead of humself prumptly sends an unquiring one well to the west in quest of his tumptytumtoes: and their upturnpikepointandplace is at the knock out in the park where oranges have been laid to rust upon the green since dev- linsfirst loved livvy.
    There. That single post makes much more sense than the continued existence of this pointless thread.

    I deleted it cos it didn't read clearly and I didn't want poor old Dan t get confused again.

    I don't know, maybe because yours wasn't nested.

    This thread is too active.

    Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, that was DanSolo's 99th post to this thread alone, and all of this verbiage in response to a trivial slight against his hobby.

    Can the fanboy make it 100? Does anyone care? Will we be able to stop watching this train-wreck of a thread? Hold your breath, I sense post number 100 coming up right about now.

    Watch this space. Yes, that space. Doesn't it make your eyes go all wibbly?

    Sounds like something from the memoirs of Salvador Dali, or something!? What is that?

    So your "usually the one who is losing the argument" only applies to me personally, or to anyone (but not everyone) you feel like it does? Not a very good theory is it, if it only applies to the people you feel like it does at the time.
    Next you'll say "the ZX has more retroscene activity", but it depends on who's post I'm answering.
    I admit then that I am stupid as I am unaware of which of your "rules" only apply to me.

    It's the opening line/paragraph/page (it's so hard to tell) of Finnegans Wake by James Joyce. :)

    Nope, just you. It's always applied to just you. No-one else. Ever.
    I admit then that I am stupid

    Finally! We have something you said that we can all agree on!

    I expect several of us have been over there to have a laugh at you being anihilated by those guys. There's not much point in trying to pretend that you haven't been a total embarrasment to the C64 scene.
    Why not just apologise?
    Because you're a dipsh1t?
    Well that's being constructive. People who resort to name-calling is usually the one who is losing the argument.
    Saying my insults are silly while including your own quote where you do the same thing (first) is known in technical terms as an "own goal".
    You fool.

    EDIT: They're not both your posts I concede, although the sudden influx of ZX lovers here could raise suspicions. Still my point stands. If the first person to use insults loses the argument, then you're saying I've won?
    Again, this is a classic example where you have no clue what you're talking about. YOU quoted me, not myself. Not once have I actually resorted to using swearwords directed at you (kinda hard since I've barely posted on this forum!).

    If you are going to try to win an argument, actually think about what you're going to write before doing so.
    Ok, here's where you Starglider has to break it to Plus5 that he's losing the argument. Based on his own theory.
    Can we all watch?
    Why? You were wrong. You said that I quoted myself insulting you, when it was you who had quoted me. Follow the thread quotes properly - both Plus5 and I saw that you misread the message and came to a wrong conclusion.

    Ok guys, pick the bones from that.

    Dear DanSolo,

    I apoligise if I have offended you in this thread, with my oh-so humourous sig, or in any other way, shape or form.

    Please take a look at this thread and if you have the answer, then please reply. You expertise is greatly needed/appreciated.

    Thank you.

    And it's the century! Four days of obsessive compulsion to argue the toss over something so minor on, and he's still going!

    Can he make it 150? Why can't we stop watching this breathless display of a complete lack of self-awareness? Is two-day-old popcorn still safe to eat?

    Hold onto your hats because this is STILL going!

    Why not let starglider do it? He can apply his "rules" on an ad hoc basis depending on how he feels about that poster at that particular millisecond to decide who's right.
