too rich?

It seems that Tibby does not comprehend that Jonb is not avoiding the question, he simply expressed it how he felt, there is no RIGHT or WRONG way of expressing it afterall.

No, there is a right way and a wrong way to use words. jonb denied that the word "tax" meant a government tax, but has yet to say what definition of the word "tax" meant. That is what annoys me about his posts here; he has rejected my understanding of his post (and has even gone on to say I focus too much on single things), but hasn't explained how I am wrong.

Furthermore, when you state 'he is not winning the favour of anyone' I think this is the difference between your arguing technique and his, It seems that Tibs' argument is purely about getting Jonb to admit he is wrong or that his wording was so that everybody can see Tibs won.

I don't care about winning anything here; I want answers as to why I'm apparently wrong with my interpretation of what he said. Read back over my posts and his; you'll see that he avoids answering my question despite me asking it several times.

Finally, Tibs has gotten to a point were he realises his argument is ludicris so therefore his arguing technique changes to that of speaking down to him stating he is acting like a child. Like many here I believe it is the other way round.

My argument is far from ludicrous. If he didn't mean the word "tax" in the governmental sense, he must have meant it in a different sense. I can't for the life of me figure out what that sense is, hence why I've asked him repeatedly to define it.

...and yes, he is acting like a child, by refusing to either admit he used the wrong word, or give me the definition he was using. In a debate, it is very poor form to call someone out and claim they have misunderstood you, and then refuse to explain how they have done so, especially if they ask you for specifics.

Well the reason I branded your argument as ludicrous was because originally the whole debate seemed pointless and silly, then I realised it was a one sided debate and the reason he wasn't answering your question didn't seem like an avoidance, rather it seemed like a waste of time debate.

It is funny you brand someone as 'acting like a child' for NOT engaging in your debate of 'you worded this wrong' ... It seems someone would have to be childish to engage in this conversation and to give in to your argument.
