>It is my experience that when people resort to sarcasm they have lost the argument and can't face it.
Or they understand that this site is in the end entertainment. Sarcasm makes it more fun for both the writer and the other readers.
You're projecting how much you care about this issue onto me. Reality is, I don't care about it much at all, it's a mild intellectual diversion to me. You're hurt by this, you're infuriated by this, you're driven by this. I'm not.
1- Rational: Your original argument is flawed, you realize it and have changed but can't admit it
2- Irrational: You can't defend your argument since you haven't, but won't change
3- Plain Nasty: You are trolling.
I'm inclined to think 3, though most people don't use their real name when trolling.
Or 4. I don't care to argue those points because I find doing so to not be entertaining or insightful. I used to argue to the death and then I realized that in the end it brought neither joy nor enlightenment. So I don't anymore.
You're free to think you've won, I don't care. Although one piece of life advice for someone who seems to like arguing and seems to be good at it. People will often stop arguing with you because they find it tiring. You'll think you've won and pat yourself on the back. They'll think you didn't win. Instead they'll just think you're good at arguing (but still wrong), an a-hole and will dislike you silently from then on.
Normally I would have stopped responding by now but I find this side conversation insightful.
