Debating Style?

Originally posted by MagiK: Actually there were several threads where I appended words to the effect...umm "Single Character Juxtaposition" and "the most common spelling error in the english language" and other such admissions that I did in fact not only spell the word wrong, was pronouncing it wrong as well. Attalus even corrected my spelling in one of them....they aren't hard to find if your actually keeping as close a tab on my posts as you frequently intimate. Edit: the one Attalus correctedme on was in one of Cloudy's Cafe's

Aaaaaaaah - so that's it - twas not in response to anything of mine then - then one wonders if you are perhaps being a smidgin selective as to whom you can comfortably admit an error to - hmmmmmmmmmmm - food for thought. Nice to see some "w" words above though.

My dear fellow, I don't check the world for Magik posts - only Magik responses [img]smile.gif[/img] - life is to short, and one must be selective [img]smile.gif[/img] . After all, there are golf courses out there that I have not yet played .

Originally posted by MagiK: Mark, the thread got derailed quite a while ago [img]smile.gif[/img] It should probably be locked or someting, or left to degenerate into chaos..which I think it already has. Your point was addressed, discussed, kicked around and everyone decided to do as they damn well please anyway [img]smile.gif[/img] so what more could you ask for?

Locked? [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] Why on earth would you lock a perfectly good thread? I think a host of wonderful points of view has been raised, along with some hilarious commentary.

I swear, you people...you let ridiculous SPAM threads go on and on and get annoyed when they're closed, but let one thread with some good points wander off topic a little bit and you want a lockdown. Sheesh! Maybe I should seek respite in Bellevue.

Nice to see some "w" words above though. Very perceptive there. You see, if you were to check around a bit, there are a fair number of people who I have readily admitted to being in error to, the key difference between them and some others, is that they were not openly hostile, mean, nasty, or rude. A young lady pointed out to me in a lovely PM the other day that I might have gone over the top in a particular thread and upon reading her comments and reassessing, I agreed with her. Amazing that sugar may err catch more flys than vinegar.

Ahh yes, well Golf would be a far more intersting and fun way to spend your time, no doubt [img]smile.gif[/img]

-Sazerac[/QUOTE]Umm I was just tryin to make Mark happy by suggesting that it be locked or something. I did at first suspect he was aiming this at me, since I do seem to be the one with the posting style he railed at, but he explained that this was not true...so I just let the thread go its merry way and have enjoyed it [img]smile.gif[/img]

I must say, as serious as this topic was to begin with, I also had to laugh that there's nothing more to hash out here now than debating debating styles. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I didn't add to it because I intend to go on as I always go on, but I'll say this...no matter WHAT the debating style, if I am interested in a subject, I read it all.

Nice to see some "w" words above though. Very perceptive there. Back on topic, this is precisely the type of response that I expressed objection to on page one - most perceptive of you to have noticed that and gotten back to your old habits . There really was no other reason to split my fairly small post for a paragraph, and then add only a two liner reply at the end was there? You see, if you were to check around a bit, there are a fair number of people who I have readily admitted to being in error to, the key difference between them and some others, is that they were not openly hostile, mean, nasty, or rude. Interpreting as - there are really some people you hate losing to A young lady pointed out to me in a lovely PM the other day that I might have gone over the top in a particular thread and upon reading her comments and reassessing, I agreed with her. Yes, I have noticed that something or someone has has changed you into being more agreeable - keep up the good work Amazing that sugar may err catch more flys than vinegar.

Well there was the time that 4 drunk canadians and 2 drunk US sailors tried to play a round at 2:30am.....we lost our balls, and got put in the hoosegow for the rest of the evening So I do believe you are correct about the daylight thing. Good night.

Shouldn't that be good night Gracie?
