Best posters of all time - Who do you think they are/were?

[Troy88]

Shinjuko:

For every thread that you can find where Zing79 was winning a debate legitimately, I can find two more where he simply "had the last word," then locked the topic.

Zing is the type of person that won't shutup until either everyone is sick of arguing, and gives up, or the topic gets locked (by him, of course). Of course you can't win an argument with Zing. An argument with him as a never-ending one.

But what you have to understand is, you haven't truly won the argument unless you've changed your opponent's mind. Do you think he's ever done that?


Edit: I just looked at your first topic, Shinjuko. Interesting indeed.

Zing79 - because those of us in power say so :biggrin:.
Simple as that.

That about sums it up.

Edit: Lol, this is just getting better and better. Some quotes from your 3rd topic, Shinjuko :colgate:

Zing:

Why don't I end the mental retardation you seem to be having right now PROfessor...
I'll extend the same courtesy to you that I did to TarkanX...but since you need to be brought back down to earth hard...heres the deal.


You win and not only am I out of the shotokan masters...but I'll never join any clan after that EVER...
I'll be permenantly done with clans forever...

BUT

If you loose, YOU ARE GONE.
I will have your IP banned, delete your account...you will never again be able to play this game.

lets see just how sure you are of your skills now.
and believe me...Im not kiding, you lose and youre banned...

lets see just how good you really think you are now.

Just look at Zing, flaunting his authority. Pfft...

PROfessor:

Good one Zing. Why do you start more conflict for no reason? I try to end something and you just want it to go on until YOU win period.

PROfessor took the words right out of my mouth.

Zing:

I'd hardly call ANYTHING you have said a great way to end something.
but you're right...
this IS over.
I said my peace about the whole thing, and apparently so did you.

And there's Zing again, making sure he not only had the last word, but also trying to sound threatening. Hell, I'm surprised he didn't lock the topic right after that :colgate:


Edit: Oh, look at this. This is just too much. A quote from your 4th topic.

Zing:

A petition by its very nature implies that you are seeking something which one of you could not get on your own by asking...
That is why it's considered bitching in this instance....
This topic is retarded...arguing with a 14 yr old is even MORE retarded when you're a PhD.

This thing dies here and now...TOPIC CLOSED!!

What do we have here? Is it... Zing79 getting the last word, and then closing the topic?

These weren't even the best examples of how arrogant and rude Zing79 can be, and yet they are the same ones you try to defend him with. Notice how Zing just gets aggravated and calls the whole thing "retarded," while trying to imply that Token has the intelligence of a 14 year old (which I'm sure he doesn't). Of course he made sure to let everyone know that he himself had a PhD, which clearly demonstrates his arrogance.

I read most of that last thread. Selvin's initial topic starter certainly wasn't very well thought out, but Token presented himself VERY well. I found myself agreeing with him, in fact. Token's argument was every bit as logical as Zing's (and yes, I DO give Zing credit for being logical, for the most part), but ultimately, Zing wins. Not because he had the better argument (and he didn't), but because he's a MOD.
