I have no idea on what other topics you're currently making an a*se of yourself, and I have no interest in looking as you're providing 'all the fun of the fair' on this one
Softus said:If you have nothing to add on the subject of CORGI, and won't answer the questions put to you, then it is you who is backing down. Don't forget that the people you think are reading your posts are quite used to your debating methodology, so go ahead and goad as much as you like.
Very well - why (wearily, because you won't answer it) won't you answer the questions already put to you?joe-90 said:Ask me a question then.
No - it proves his point - YOU STILL HAVEN'T ANSWERED HIS QUESTION!joe-90 said:Softus said:And yet....Softus. You are boring, mate.
I've been on-line for 8 years and know how forums workGo on then tell me how it works.How what works?Forums - you said you "know how forums work".Then ask me a question. No need for histrionics.Looks like my assumption was correct.What question was that?
That proves my point. You are one boring fella.
Softus, old chap - it's a bit of an exaggeration to define his rambling drivel as "debating methodology"....Softus said:Don't forget that the people you think are reading your posts are quite used to your debating methodology.
1) Apologies if you've answered this in one of the other topics - I've not had a chance to look, but what is a "Hand-wringing limp-wristed liberal"?joe-90 said:ban-all-sheds said:Apologies if I misinterpreted that as a rhetorical Q.
A: I don't know.
In other words you can see a problem but have no answer.
That qualifies you unreservedly as a, "Hand-wringing limp-wristed liberal".
Well done.

I'll take this one, if I may: this is a term that joe-90 usually uses when someone presents a balanced, perceptive and succinct argument that utterly defeats one of his blinkered, unsubstantiated and extremist 'facts' (I realise that the words "blinkered" and "unsubstantiated" are tautological in this context). (Oh, and "extremist" too). (And I use the word "facts" with the most free-ranging of poetic licenses).ban-all-sheds said:...but what is a "Hand-wringing limp-wristed liberal"?

2) In any event, it's incorrect to say it makes me that - what it makes me is someone who's quite prepared to say "I don't know", when I don't, rather than someone who waves his arms about and blusters and poses and waffles and wriggles and makes a lot of irrelevant noise in a vain attempt to make it look like he knows the answer when in fact he knows SFA.
