lol...this talk about intelligent argument, coming from you...its rather funny. And name calling? I called MYSELF a retard not anyone else. Because I felt stupid that I deliberately replied to his baseless arguments even though it was not worth it.

Why do you call EskimoBob's arguments baseless? A read-thru of some of his posts and then some of yours doesn't reflect well on your part my friend. You seem to lack the most basic skills of arguing your point in a given matter. Oh, and the name-calling is pervasive throughout your posts. Which sort of proves the above mentioned point.

No. I wont elaborate why because I am on the verge of turning a complete retard and I want to prevent that.

Good good! Now, to paraphrase Rocky...

Why can't we all just get along?

Of course he was referring to the Cold War, which was a piece of cake to solve compared to the mammoth task of keeping pro-Conviction and anti-Conviction groups from verbally tearing each others heads off.

There are a few distinct groups of people in this forum and they come on both sides of the whole "I dont/do like conviction"
They are:

• The people who use insults because they're minds cannot gather together enough information to back up their views.
  
• The people who think their view is right and will disregard others just because their opinions differ.
  
• The people who like to "****" stirr to conjure up an argument in a relativly peaceful thread by making off-topic remarks against someone.
  
• The peaceful people who actually state their points, if someone starts an argument against them they simply rise above it.
  
• Finally, the people who act peaceful but when an argument is start against them they become one of the above.
  

of course most of us are a combination of those.

I belong to the second category and am not ashamed to admit it. I used to be in the fourth category initially when I joined, but due to lack of intelligent responses I drifted to the 2nd category.

We do; we just differ. Big whoop. It's only natural, so don't try to go against nature, maaan, or Conviction will have pink splinter cells trying to tickle Sam Fisher's crotch.

Im next!

Back of the line, buddy!

I hate it when people try to categorize people... (And don't flame me, I said I hate "it", not the people)

Sam's balls will be royally ruined then ?


So he will live on with a high pitched voice heheh...no more need for Ironside either.

Weren't you the one calling other people closed-minded? How much more closed-minded can you get than freely admitting that you disregard other opinions just because they differ from your own? In a few years, re-read your posts and maybe then you'll realise how hypocritical you have been. I'm saying that because I know you will not listen to me now, and you will come back with something which in your opinion proves me wrong and makes you look awesome.

Hey osborne10, I suspect you might be aniket using a different account. You seem to be doing little more that approving of his posts, which quite frankly, if you're not him is hard to fathom.

no im not him,just agreeing with him.i approve a lot of posts,like you said I'm starting more of it,thats because I'm one of those combination people like Tidenburg said,i started out saying my opinion and no one could really give a decent discussion or argument.not that it is you marinius,but its a lot.and it is on both sides.
so after trying to understand people wanting to say there opinions and facts ,and then not saying them drove me to just doing this

ummm...disregarding opinions of close-minded people makes me close minded...whatever you say, Bob.

That is what you categorise yourself in. It mentions nothing of disregarding only 'closed-minded people'. You are disregarding ANYONE who has a different opinion to yours, and you think they are closed-minded. This makes you closed-minded.

And for the record, disregarding the opinion of someone who is closed-minded DOES make you closed-minded. If you were truly open-minded, you would take into account their opinion, disagree with them, and probably get nowhere because they themselves are closed-minded. Of course, I am yet to see someone on this forum who is more closed-minded than you. Most people here who participate in these kind of discussions will say things like "Good point, but..." "Yeah, I suppose I agree with you there, although..." See the difference between them and you? I have not seen you agree with anything anyone who doesn't support your general opinion says. But no, we are the closed-minded, of course you with your fully backed-up answers are right.

Do I detect a bit of sarcasm there?

in fully backed-up do you mean his answers/arguments/opinions have reason,logic,truth(whatever you want to call it) behind them
