| I guess it's no surprise that you thought that list was accurate given how often you turn your head from reality. |

I guess it's no surprise that you come into a thread and start insulting people, given that you are a fucking troll.

And I guess the final surprise is that someone who pretends to have the moral high ground resorts to false accusations which also serve as an insult. That's really productive, isn't it. |

Meh. I just had to say something because I'm tired of seeing you insult just about anything that fits the criteria of (a)having an opinion and (b)posting it in a thread.
You can try and insult me all you want, I just got tired of seeing it and decided to say something. |

You didn't have to say anything, because nothing in my reply forced you do nor did I. Nonetheless, the quip you're ranting about cannot be given as an insult, only taken. It's a two part process. Secondly, it's a very truthful quip, a search on his posts will support that very often big P over there does ignore to check the validity or veracity of his sources. Furthermore, he often does not accept sources which contest what he believes to be true. So as you see, what you think to be my insult is not based on your fictitious criteria but rather his well documented online history of being purposefully ignorant.
Now you're telling me that the reason you reply is because you're gotten tired of what you perceive to be insults yet to combat me you yourself resort to a false accusation to which you intended to be an insult. Your words are hollowed by the transparency of your statements. Your trying to bait me into insulting you so you can then feel even more superior to me because of that previously mentioned moral high-ground you presume you still have. It's a trend you have in most of your replies, which is pretty annoying to say the least. Clandestinely insulting your foe as you put on a face of civility is somewhat wicked. |

And of course being a dick to the person you claim is being a dick to everyone really does a lot to make your point seem less valid. I'm sure one day you'll find a justification that actually doesn't backfire on you. |

I dont like this particluar snopes synopsis. Its as if they have to counter every point listed, regardless of its truth or not. A lot of them are in fact true, but the snopes review has to argue the 'superficial' nature of them, or how they are just likely coincidents. Well no shit, no one is saying that its anything more. If its true just say so, and stick to refuting the false ones.

Well, I have never been a dick to you, and have to agree with his statement. You tend to nitpick and demean the most minute details of peoples posts, totally unwarranted in many instances (ie introductory posts).
Is my point more valid? Or by opining it does it automatically put me in dick territory?

Mr C,
just put dawk on your ignore list... it makes the forums more pleasant to not see ignorant negative comments about 90% of things people post.
