Maybe you should try mushroom stamping his forehead, then. That might work.

But I'm lazy AF, so instead of digging out that link I'll settle for a STFU Doug.
You bring up an obvious talking point, which is how there are two sides to this discussion. And let’s see, if I’ve been able to acknowledge and argue both sides what does that really mean (versus the go to answer, he’s a troll!)?

I told myself that I wouldn't engage with UD who I really like (but of course he will not take this the right way BUT:


UD, since you can no longer argue over there you have dragged your shit over here. It appears that because you can do it here that you spend much more time over here now. Try using your new personna over there here. It will be more enjoyable for everyone.


Here's a little something I found that (if the hat don't fit, you gotta acquit) you may consider:


You know you are the argumentative type when:



  • Not a day goes by without you having an argument with someone.
  • Feeling you have control and power over everyone and everything all the time is critical to you.
  • Other people, not you, are always to blame for starting an argument.
  • The opinions and feelings of others don’t matter to you.
  • You feel good about yourself when initiating and engaging in arguments, which is why you can’t do without them.
  • The worst thing in the world is feeling you are wrong.
  • Relationships filled with conflict are normal for you.




What can I do if I am an Argumentative Personality?



Seek professional help from a counselor. You can change if you are willing to explore the deeper meaning behind your argumentative nature. It is possible that you lack confidence and a sense of self-worth, and seek it through aggression and arguments; counseling can help you resolve this. When you begin to feel true confidence, the need for arguments and conflict will start to abate. Everyone uses some type of defense mechanism to protect themselves emotionally, so there’s nothing wrong with this; the problem is that your defense mechanism is an outdated one that probably served you well in the distant past. The challenge is in unlearning this old defense mechanism and replacing it with a new, constructive one.

If you got this far I'm sure you have already formulated a response to this post and are nw thinking I am 100% wrong. Don't think I am because most everyone else here has already told you to STFU. There are those who keep responding and arguing with you but it's only a trap to get you pissed off and pissed on. You should not fall into their trap. Doing so only demonstrates your weaknesses.


All this being said I await your critical response including a thousand questions about me, as you do to everyone else. You will find that you simply can not responding. If you find it so, go back up and read
What can I do if I am an Argumentative Personality?

Still your friend.

Maybe you should start a thread about it and see who posts in it?

Could be very telling.

You know you and I have been down this road before so maybe a quick review of the pattern is worth the time.

Engages with a genuine question.

There are already a handful of threads about CFOT on the front page, why do we need more threads filled with drama? Then I’ll get accused of stirring up more drama. Nice try.

Are you expecting denial? Backpedal?

"So what?" is really the only fitting response to the entire discussion.

You're championing a cause that isn't yours for a person who doesn't care.

Get after those windmills Doug Quixote
