One doesn't always need to see the entirety of a conversation's context to know that when someone contradicts themselves in a single sentence, it's wrong.

That is what you did.

It's pretty funny.

Carry on.

Hence why I attempted to clarify, which you avoided. So I say again....

I think we've reached the point now, where anyone who thought that Alma added some kind of "character" or "interest" to the forum (*cough* Ari *cough*) should give up that notion.

He's not even sparking any lively debate or back-and-forth anymore (if he ever did, but that's another matter). He just copypastes his own posts in every thread he's in, and invariably turns every single debate into a series of "NO U"s.

Sure, you can get a mild giggle out of the fact that his debate skill never evolved past toddler-level. But even that joke has gotten stale and sad.

Just ban the guy already. For spamming, if nothing else.

Look, it's a microcosm of Alma's logical disconnect!

Smiley: looney



The intelligent looks crazy to the ignorant.

Do you believe that there is a unit of measure for love?

Do you believe that all love for everyone and everything is the same?



I don't know what on earth you folks are talking about. I just know that when you start saying things like the phrase I quoted above, you should probably reconsider your convictions.

Debating the ins and outs of the concept of love with you might be my personal definition of hell. So take your follow up questions elsewhere. I'm just here to laugh at you.

We're all here to laugh at Alma.

Also, he only participates in threads where some sort of sexuality is involved. Poly relationships, abortion, gay marriage, etc. Among all his hang-ups, we can see where his most severe one lies.

Mmm. Here's every Alma thread that's ever been, and ever will be:

Subject: Something about teh sex.

Post: Hey, blah blah blah (something that isn't missionary sex between married folks) blah blah blah.

Alma: I cautiously allude to the idea that that thing is wrong.

Asylum: That's crazy, you can't possibly suggest that that thing is wrong, because X, Y, Z.

Alma: I never said that I think it's wrong. Here are 6 stupid reasons that I think it's wrong.

Asylum: What? You just contradicted yourself. Also, your reasons are stupid.

Alma: I don't get it. Explain?

Asylum: Here's a thorough, point-by-point explanation, that should answer any possible question you could have.

Alma: False. Also, I talked to some people, who are totally not made up, and they agree with me and think I'm cool.

Asylum: Nothing you just said makes sense.

Alma: Explain?

Asylum: We've already explained in exhaustive detail. You never countered our points.

Alma: Post 206.

Asylum: We already countered that post as best we could. It didn't really make sense, though.

Alma: No you didn't.

Asylum: We really did. Look, we did it right here <link>

Alma: No you didn't.

Asylum: Are you seriously doing this? Yes we did. We just showed you where.

Alma: No you didn't.

Asylum: Smiley: facepalm

Alma: Hah, you know I'm right, and that's why you're not arguing with me anymore. I win!

Kao: Thread lock.


Woohoo.

Oh I see. So because I am not willing to commit to one person, I am immature?

Yeah, I don't think so... I know a couple who live in Eugene who are in their 60's, and have been together for over 40 years. They've been poly the entire time. They have a third person in their relationship now (I know she's involved with the guy, not sure about the other woman) that has been with them for over 10. Are they immature too? I suppose according to you they would be.

Quote:
If you have more than one person, then you're replacing people.


You can keep saying that until you're blue in the face, it doesn't make it true.

Quote:
If you transfer your attention, emotion, time, etc. from one person to another person, then you have effectively replaced person A with person B. Just because it wasn't for sex or permanent doesn't change that fact.


You really are a bonehead, do you know that? Is the whole world literal to you?

I only would be replacing them if I saw them as of equal value. They aren't, they are individual people, and I respect and love them for their individuality. That's not say that any of them are worth less than the other. I'm not sure how to explain it really, it's complicated.

Basically what this boils down to is, you have no idea what my love life is like. You clearly don't understand it, or what it is about. That's fine, just don't act like you do know, because you've made it quite obvious that you don't.

You're all missing the point. Alma is convinced that all love is the same. Why? Because he needs to believe that, otherwise he'd feel inferior as a ****.

Duh.

I believe this thread is proof that Alma argues from logic. Otherwise, how can he seriously consider arguing that Pigtails emotions are other than what she says they are? He thinks he is the standard and everyone else is wrong.

After you defeat the six fingered man, you become the Dread Pirate Roberts. So I don't think so.
