[Esquilax]

I read this post, but since it doesn't appear to be of the nature of official mod, I won't bother responding to its content.

When are you going to get it? I'm not interesting in debating with you Esquilax. I have given you several chances but you keep employing low-brow insulting tactics.

Maybe when you mature a bit we can have an honest discussion.

No no, I get it: you're an intellectual coward who can't handle the- justly deserved- derision your posts merit, and so in a desperate scrabble to avoid losing face to someone who actually knows what they're doing, you pretend that disagreement is the same as insult.

I've insulted you- actually insulted you- all of once, weeks ago now, and then as now you proceeded to harp on the couple of curse words I used as an excuse not to answer the actual argument. But "you used a bad word!" isn't a rebuttal, and "you're not treating me with the respect I feel I deserve!" misses the point that respect is earned, not freely handed out. You've repeatedly shown a disinterest in actual discourse over simply spewing your assertions in every post; what's more insulting, the man who makes his feelings known, or the one who won't even take the conversation seriously, and thus refuses to engage in it beyond "this is my position, nyah nyah!"?

Besides, we're all adults here; if you can't take a little verbal rigor I suggest you're in the wrong place. The mature thing to do is to respond to the content of my argument while couching your own response in as hostile a manner as you like. We can take as good as we give, around here, so long as the argumentation is solid.

I'll tell you what isn't the mature thing to do, though: showing off your blatant hypocrisy by refusing to rebut an argument that's been made, citing my insulting manner to do it, and then filling your non-response with enough condescension and insinuated insults to fill a Republican convention.

You mad.

Ladies and gentlemen, the man who called me immature!
