  • Careful, or he'll "call you out" on your mistakes. :rotfl:

    He can call me in, out, or shake-it-all-about for all I care, he still needs to learn what constitutes a hazard on the roads :)

    He's a bell end and will never learn.

    :rotfl: brilliant.
  • I'm pleased this thread has been resurrected - it's very amusing.


    As others have pointed out the OP's turn of phrase is a bit eccentric..."Just WOW!" and "...I will call you out..."


    Is that last phrase even English? I don't think I've ever seen it written down before.


    Also the obsession with ad hominem attacks. One of my old philosophy lecturers reckoned ad hominem was a perfectly legitimate argument against an idiot who couldn't reason.


    And, being pedantic, I thought the cyclist crossed the road to join a hitherto unseen cycle-path, not ride on the pavement.

    Somewhere in the middle of the whole thread, the OP resorted to accusations that I'd reported his posts and had them deleted. When it was pointed out that the report does not say who reported a thread, and then subsequently, two other posters confirmed that they were responsible for the reporting, the OP went strangely quiet on the matter. It was all rather ironic, given the OP's fondness for claiming others were guilty of ad hominem arguments.

    The fascinating and entertaining thing about this thread is not the subject matter itself - I think there's an almost unanimous view that the OP was at fault in the collision - but the length the OP has gone to to defend his view of the collision, which is quite remarkable considering he now claims it didn't take place.
  • I think the OP is an underemployed philosophy student who has just done a logic module on the form of a valid argument.


    It's a bit like the Monty Python sketch "Do you want a 10 minute argument, sir, or the full half hour?"

    I took the liberty of correcting your inadvertent mistake. :beer:

    Don't tell the dragon that (Kraken is a Norwegian dragon) he thinks that people almost unanimously agree with him! But then, that's based on his failed sense of logic.
