face the facts... you made your post longer than you had to. i'm fine with you arguing with me, but DON'T go off trying to be smart, immediately answering questions you supposedly think i was going to ask you in a rebuttal argument. your argument was good (i'm sure that's what you like to hear), but i don't like reading about what you presume i'm going to say in a counter-argument. i wasn't thinking or asking any of the things you extrapolated on... so don't flatter yourself as to think that you know how my train of thought works. well u can save yourself the reply, since i DID mix up the meaning of a crush and a serious love interest. so you "win" by default. just know in the future that i'm not here to argue; i'm here to give criticism with justification.
oooh psytek is offended. haha . I thought you of all people would be able to evade this feeble emotion, since you are so critical and such in the forums, seeminlgy devoid of most useless teenager like emotions. But, whatever.
"DON'T go off trying to be smart, immediately answering questions you supposedly think i was going to ask you in a rebuttal argument." Why not? I cover it more later, but i'm not trying to be smart, it's called good debating. We're saving time by answering dumb arguments that could come up. And, if you weren't going to say any of those things, other people can read it and learn more about the discussion from it. There's really no reason for me not to. I do that a lot, and it's not just a special case with you. Have you never been to the debate forum? I don't see you there too much cause i know you don't want to argue, but if you want to view it you would see similar things being done by probably not just me. It's common practice. You don't like reading what i thought you might say? Ok, you don't like it, tough.
"It's what i like to hear"? Hmmm, i guess, who doesn't like receiving compliments? I'm sure you do, but don't act like i'm out to get them. I don't take too kindly to when you said it though...oooh! maybe it's the stigmatizing way you said it in! yes! that must be it! Don't flatter yourself either (i'm only saying that so much cause you assume i'm flattering myself when i think it's hypocritical of you to say so), i'm sure you like to hear people who say "yeah i think psytek is right!" or "yeah, thats a good post psytek" or whatever people always say after you post. It's not as if i go around to your posts and post sardonic compliments when you respond to what i have said in the past.
umm, i think you shouldn't flatter yourself instead of me. I didn't gain some sort of satisfaction from preempting arguments, it's a common practice. It's not just your train of thought, it's everyones including mine, i was just answering arguments that didn't seem that good so we could save time.
Furthermore, you give yourself too much credit, as you boldly state: "wasn't thinking or asking any of the things you extrapolated on... so don't flatter yourself as to think that you know how my train of thought works" When in your post you go and start a "love" trivialization argument, that i did foresee. So, who needs to not flatter oneself?
Yes, i made it longer than i had to cause i was bored and at my computer and couldn't sleep, simple reasons. I wasn't thinking i was smart, i was pre-empting arguments and answering them so we didn't waste time arguing stupid points. It does make sense.
I'm not out to "win" like you presume, i don't know why you have some sort of stigma about it. It's not as if you didn't go out of your way to "criticize" julie several times. Even again after the big one, julie said something adn then you went off...yet again. So yes, you did "win" as well. Why did you even say that? trying to victimize yourself just because i "lectured" to you? You have been known to type posts even longer than me, beyond the character limit. So why be hypocritical and say "it's longer than it had to be" when you've done the same thing? No, i'm not thinkilng i'm smart, i'm asking becuase it seems rather hypocritical of you and because you took offense to my post haha. Here, i'll pull a psytek:
face the facts...i always post like that, and i was only saving time by pre-empting possible stupid arguments and answering them. Simple as that. My posts are ALWAYS this long. Look in the debate forum, or anywhere, don't get offended you weren't a special case.
Finally, i wasn't here to argue either no matter how much you think so. I was here and saw you "go off" in a way on something that was really not necessary at all, and was like "what the hell?", was bored again, and decided to post. Arguing takes two people budday.
