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to protect themselves emotionally, so there’s nothing wrong with this; the problem is that your defense mechanism is an outdated one that probably served you well in the distant past.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.
Oh this is a gem coming from you, given our history and especially your history with neece. I highly doubt you’re in position to give advice, yet here you are. lol

I’d be more than happy to discuss the talking points of this argument with you, go back and skim the last 10 pages or so and get back to me. We can discuss things like where is Ground Zero in this argument, were legitimate points made once you filter out all the “I don’t care who gives a **** noise”? Etc etc.

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

Get after those windmills Doug Quixote
Like dvap pointed out, I’ve argued talking points on each side of the discussion. Given that my perspective is genuine on each side, how could I be a “champion” for just one cause?

Like I posted last night, once I clean up a few loose ends y’all can have your little playpen back. I will say, it’s an interesting dynamic to watch play out. You have a large group of people that get kicked off one forum, for essentially creating drama, then over here continue talking about CFOT and about the subject matter that caused most of the drama over there; lest we forget with 100+ mentions of neece since 12/19 (her last post was 7/19–with only 6 posts since 2014).

That being said, of course there’s the other side of the argument, which inevitably leads us to conclude all parties are accountable.

No. That people don't want to engage with your bullshit.

I was perma-banned on another forum and some dude was still crying about me hurting his feelings or whatever 5 years later.

Correct, they would rather put their heads in the sand, continually remind me how they don’t care, but then continue to converse with ad hominem remarks. Sound about right?
