Frontlines sucks Ultra megathread

Ah yes, the Teflon argumentation, where even quoting someone verbatim is misrepresenting them. As Watzlawick said, one cannot not communicate. The things you don't say matter as well, especially given the high volume of posts that you have in this thread (your posts are roughly 12 - 15% of all posts in this thread, and the vast majority aren't some throwaway lines). The reason that I waded through this thread to pick up all your bits and pieces is precisely because I knew that you would deny any and all characterizations of your points, alas, here we are.

Okay, you got me. One last response.

Where did I say that the quotes of mine that you include are misrepresenting my position? I didn't. Because that would be ludicrous. But there you go again claiming I said something that I didn't.

You "knew that you would deny any and all characterizations of your points" did you? Woweee!!! Uhm, but where have I denied "any and all characterizations" of my points? It's not my fault your analogies are complete disasters. For example, I have some quibbles with the offside and hand-ball rules in soccer. But why on earth would I wish to change the rules so that 97% of the population who don't play the game would want to? This illogical rambling is lower than sophistry.

Some of the snippets you so graciously trawled through 94 pages to find, I may have moved on from. This is because I am engaging in a discussion. I do so to better understand the topic and the positions of others so I can refine my own position. Have you ever considered such an approach? But simply quoting me, then drawing bizarre parallels to miraculously divine what I do and do not want really isn't helping your case.

No point in replying other than playing to the gallery since I'm now blocking you.

Bets, anyone?

"But I never said it this precise way". Is that also one of those fancy debating techniques employed by the JHS debate team? To feint ignorance about the meaning of your very own words?

Either you have a very rosy opinion of the current state of Frontline, or you don't know how analogies work.

I love you.

My friend also says they want to shake your hand.

You bring hate to yourself not by what you believe in but how you fight for it.
