in thread What is "aggressive" argument?

Congratulations!! You are now a proud member of the "half a dozen would-be PM despots" that are trying to convince him that he could be doing better on the communication front.

As someone who is 31 levels deep in a "discussion" with him elsewhere in this thread, I am sad to report that that is the fate that awaits us. Even the loose correlation between message reply depth and node reputation was not enough for him. He's right. We're wrong. His opinion is basically locked in at this point. :-(

    I just discovered this post; I hadn't realised that you were double dipping.

    His opinion is basically locked in at this point.

    I'm replying now, to try and persuade you that you are...you'd never believe how many next words I've rejected before selecting this one--dead.

    I realise that this will be contrary to your opinion. Quite possibly diametrically opposed to your explicitly stated, on the record, written opinion. But I still want to inform you that there are at least 5 other people that agree with me that you are, in fact, dead!

    Therefore, your stubborn rejection of our council that you should stop walking, talking and doing whatever else you are doing--that in fact you must simply stop "doing" anything--is a character flaw. A definite sign that you are overemotional. Perhaps even that you are mentally unstable.

    We have concluded that you are in fact dead. Therefore, your continuing to hold an opinion to the contrary is bad, uncouth, irreverent and rude. You should therefore, stop holding that opinion immediately. By order of the ...erm...us.

      Dang it! You got me! I'm actually a Lich!! (^_^). Well, I guess technically that in Eastern style emoticons that should be (X_X)!! (^_^)

        Oh, al'right. I can see you've got me liched.
