Good faith or not - and believe me, I always answer in good faith regardless of your many posts to the contrary - you didn't answer the question clearly and directly. You rarely ever do. Just an observation, and not one only have made. Debate points? Gopher, you're in need of a mirror.

Your perception of things; never even crossed my mind. Throughout all our debates, it has never been a childish attempt to score points. Your style of answering simple questions with reams of evidence that often don't answer the question, equivocating at every direct point.... maddening. You really have no idea just how evasive your answers are. Your perception of it as a pissing context is yours alone.
I asked for a simple answer. Still waiting.

In any case, that will certainly be the last time I attempt to communicate with you on this board. You have the worst kind of myopia that a person can have. And it's disappointing. Still...as Lord Macaulay says: "Let them be. Their reward is to be what they are." |
What sort would that be? Wanting a direct answer? You started your post with an insult, yet, got as straight-line a response as I could give - and intentionally so to avoid this kind of foolishness! - and this is what comes back? Myopia, indeed.

Methinks EFLtrainer doesn't like Gopher's (or mine, actually) responses because they are not what he/she/it wants to hear. If he/she/it gets an answer outside of his/her/its preconceived notion of what that answer is, then he/she/it responds with a lame attempt at saying the poster is childish, idiotic or something along those lines. Gopher has answered his/her/its questions but he/she/it doesn't have a valid response, so the pseudo superiority gets thrown around. Great debate tactic...too bad it doesn't work. |

Don't agree with wannago 95% of the time, but I gotta agree with most of his assessment of EFLtrainer. |

If you like that, you'll love this pic someone snapped from the Itaewon Sex Shop! By the way, be sure you wait 17 minutes... not 15, not 16, not 18. You must wait 17 minutes before the sex.

In other news: this blame game is no longer limited to politics: CNN is reporting that local authorities are charging the owners of St. Rita's nursing home with negligent homicide, for abandoning thirty-four senior citizens and failing to evacuate them...a coroner had offered two buses with drivers, nurses, and power generators to deal with special-needs patients, and the two owners turned him down. |

Damn... think I'm gonna cry. Puh-leeeze...
Look, I understand gopher's style, but he often just does not answer th question. What is one to do? I mean, I asked him to do nothing more than clarify a simple point about his perspective on non-natural causes for damage/lives lost and his first line was essentially the hurricane did it.
You don' like my style? So? |

Now that would seem an appropriate pointing of a finger. They just left them there.... christ... I suppose they're going to say they thought they could ride it out and did't need that stuff, then by the time they realized they did it was too late. This whole thing is going to be one huge mess in the courts for years to come. Everyone sueing (sp?) everyone, ad nauseum. |
