I ruined someone's thanksgiving for life!

Well sort of. Conversation beyond small talk is, in essence, a series of arguments. Even offering personal insight in regard to an others comment or inquiry is a sort of argument. I could stick to posting raw personal experiences or dry transfer of factual information, but that's be a pretty limited form of expression.

If I see something that strikes my fancy, I may chose to argue a point one way or the other. Big deal. It's a message board. No reason to be riled.

Biteme, you made some comments in a different post that struck me as absurd. I chose to present an argument. You set me straight regarding one of your and told me that you'd not meant it the way I had taken it - in fact we agreed on that point! I still took issue with another comment you had made, an issue which we hadn't resolved.

Sounds pretty much like simple conversation from two non-identical minds. If you viewed this as an attempt to get you riled, I apologize.

No problem. Which issue have we not resolved?

Let me try to illuminate some logical points regarding this argument for you.

1. You posted a reply to MP5's first post. At the time you made that post you had misunderstood the story and felt that MP5 may have handled the situation badly. You added, somewhat aside, that if something happened to your dog you'd kill the person that did it.

2. Having understood MP5's story myself, I felt your comment was poorly directed to MP5. Perhaps this is my mistake - not realizing that you had misunderstood MP5 with regard to your first comments.

3. I chose to respond to what I considered a poor comment, and you soon admitted was a mistaken comment, to MP5. Not yet knowing that you had made the post in misunderstanding, I worded my post in a way that called your reasoning into question. Having expressed what I though was poor reasoning regarding MP5's situation, I included a comment questioning your reasoning about killing anyone who'd harm your dog.

4. You made your second post explaining that your first had been made under a false premise of the situation.

5. I responded to your second post, highlighting the part regarding the high rearguard and protective mindset over dogs you have over dogs, and stated "I agree."

At this point, both of our first posts were moot and, in my opinion, any call for argument had vanished. You admitted your first post was misdirected and I replied in a positive manner to that admital. I had dropped the issue with no reason to further question you. However, you saw fit to question me further.

This is where, IMO, you began to apply faulty logic
6. Even after I had replied in a positive manner to your SECOND post you chose to reply to my FIRST post, worded in way that called my reasoning into question.
Had you simply not read my reply to your second post at this point? If not, this would explain your motivation behind your defending yourself from my first reply to you, and I would have dropped the issue once more.

You called my attention to your second post, which was useless because I had already seen, understood, and replied to it.

In addition, you reasserted your position about killing anyone who'd harm your dog, using the phrase "kill first and ask questions later."

7. I felt your questioning of my reasoning AFTER I HAD READ, AGREED, AND REPLIED to your second, clarifying post was illogical. Blah blah blah, we began arguing over the argument as much as any one idea.


Would you like me to continue? Shall I illustrate in further detail where I think I'm right and your wrong in points 1-7? Shall I outline more of our dialogue?

No need to clarify. I understand your position and agree. The "base argument" (if you can call it that) regarding what you'd do if your dog was harmed has been settled.
KAYNE
Again, I don't need to know how you beat you neighbor in front of his family or battered your brother with a baseball bat, both over issues with dogs. I began to argue with you in question of your logic, and likewise, that same type of questioning directed at me.

I fear little of this will make any difference to you. However, I rather enjoy attempting to explain all this, not so much for you but for me. If I didn't enjoy it, I wouldn't be her. If you don't enjoy it, why argue back?

I've got finals to ready myself for, so I'm going to quit for now.

There' no reasing with KAYNE. He's an idiot who can't spell, boy loves his dog, and is a all around moron.

I have tried to do reason with the guy, but it's to no avail. It's like spitting in the wind...

Stupid people (like KAYNE) shouldn't breed.
