[quote ost_uid0="dominicankid098"]*Sigh* One of the things that I just simply can't stand about the internet is when someone says dumb things like "be a man and call me out". LMAO Please child you think I am scared of someone on the internet? Calling me a coward and especially you not knowing even half of who I am. I seriously knew for a fact that you would be posting here so how would that make me a coward?[/quote]
Oooookay....deep breath.....
First off, I'm not meaning it in a threatening way....apparently in today's teenage society, everything anyone says apparently has a violent connotation. When I say "call me out," I'm referring to the fact that if someone's talking negatively of me, I'd like to know about it, so I have a chance to defend myself.
I actually wouldn't have posted here had you not made those comments.
Second off....since when does a seventeen year-old get off calling someone four years his senior a child? Unless someone has offended me directly, I tend to show everyone that I interact with a certain level of respect, and would appreciate the same level of respect in return. In my post, I did not refer to you as a lesser individual or as a "child," (on the contrary I did quite the opposite, rebuking previous claims of being "great" and instead placing myself on the same tier as everyone else) and therefore do not deserve that type of disrespect.
Now, had I said something along the lines of "Listen up son you talk poop and i'll kill you," then you'd have grounds to make such a statement as you did in the above quote. but becuase I did not, nor showing any inclination of the "threat of violence" over an online forum, such a statement coming from one such as yourself is....how should I say....out of line.
Actually, the worst I did was call you a coward, and in that I may have been rather hasty in my selection of vocabulary. Granted, as you say, I indeed do not know "half of who [you are]," and therefore making the coward remark misplaced, but by the same token, you know nothing about me. Furthermore, I know not why you would go out of your way to actually attempt to draw me out and get me to post here......to what ends would this help you attain?

For someone who says he is smarter than 95% of the members in sfo, which is just an opinion of course to his own cocky self, trying to use a cuss word in the internet wouldn't sound that intelligent now would it?
Actually, my claim to being smarter than a percentage of the members of SFO is not a mere opinion to my own "cocky self," but is a simple fact: as I am older than a vast majority of the posters, and living in a state with a high-ranked education level, as well as being a B student in college. Back when I used to post here, I determined that the vast majority of the posters were between the ages of ten and sixteen, which would place them on an education tier many levels lower than my own, therefore directly showing that I have many more years of education, have gathered more knowledge and information than the majority. So no, it's not a testament to my cockiness, nor some type of brag remark, but a simple statement of facts. I do realize that there are people that post who are indeed my peers, and others who are even older than I, and I know and respect that they have acquired more knowledge than I, and do not attest this knowledge as being "an opinion to their cocky selves."
but to the point, why would using a cuss word be unintelligent? It's a simple fact: people swear. My dad swears. My professor swears. My boss swears. The president swears. Basically, I referred to the swear but didn't type it because the language filter would have edited or removed it, and because I'm human, not a robot, and therefore tend to use phases such as the one I referred to. Whether it be "that's a load of bulls-hit" or "that's a bunch of baloney," the meaning is the same. Just like saying "heck" instead of "hell," or "fudge" instead of "flip," the meaning is the same, so why not say it anyway?
Anyway, in order to avoid further prolonged posting sessions, I'd just like to end with this: In an above quote, you said you were not a coward because you knew that I would be posting here in response to what you said. My question is that instead of drawing me here using some halfassed diss comparing me to a nonexistent message board in order to get me to post here, why not just IM me on aol or something and be like "dude, post in this topic" or something? Granted, I see you were probably drawn to that by Vfusing me as reference and apparently taking what I said about the topic as some sort of concrete stamp of approval or the word of god, but in that case, why not just tell him to stfuinstead of dragging my name further into it?
Basically, what I'm asking is to simply drop any and all reference to myself or the sometimes reference of me being a master debator...if you'd like me to post a comment or to look over a debate topic, then just IM me and if i'm interested, I'll participate.
This goes to Virtual Fighter too.....I was unaware you'd actually post that little convo on the boards to try and further your foothold in the debate....instead, you should have simply asked me to participate...and I may have. Simple as that.
Anyways, I've got some other things to attend to that were put aside for a few minutes while these posts were written. Don't take my word as anything unless I directly posted it here (so that post by VF with the aim convo between me and him holds about the same amount of relevance to the topic as one of the Year 2000 doomsday seers. Go on with the debate.....sorry it ended up getting sidetracked....I'll abstain from posting unless someone actually asks me to participate in the debate at large.....

PS: dominicankid, if youd' like to discuss this little matter with me further, please, i ask you to do so privately on the forum of either an instant messenger or private messages on the forum. Thanks )
