More of the same crap eh Jim? Can't you do better than that?

So sayeth the great almighty debator. Unable to find enything to criticse except that I posted a single line reply, which he composed for me, "waaaaaay down at the bottom of the post hoping to escape notice", in a post comprising 14 lines of text. Wow, that was really observant of you Jimz. However did you find it hidden half way down the screen? I really thought I'd get away with that one 'cos you never read more than the first 12 lines of text, do you? Well I guess that explains why you haven't replied to any of my questions at the and of post 29.

Which, to those of you readers not familiar with the tactics of people who have lost the argument, is Jimz way of saying he's not going to reply to this meaasge because he has no valid argument and adding more would only make him appear even more stupid.
He's giving up because he isn't man enough to admit that he made a mistake, just as he hasn't responded in the "Palin's Pregnancy" thread for exactly the same reason.
He's a loser if ever there was one and a very very sad loser at that.

Whispo,
I know I promised you the last word and all but...
I've known you for a few years now and am just starting to grasp what a simpering little weasel you are. I have had clues obviously but not much to go on in the way of direct evidence until recently.
You're a coward sir. You were confronted with a stupid, stupid error that the average high school student could have avoided and lack the character to say "oops" even now. Everyone makes mistakes, the true mark of the man is how he deals with it after having done so.
Glad you live far, far away. |

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I really have seen everything.
All the posts in this thread showing as being posted by "Guest" were in fact posted by Jimz and are shown like that as he is no longer a member of the forum.

Such a fucking cowardly asshole that rather than admit that he made a mistake he accuses me of that very failing in spite of my numerous posts in which I have done precisely that. Then he stomps out of the forum in a temper tantrum.
He even agrees that I admitted my mistake but somehow construes the fact that I did so near the end if a 14 line of text post as invalidating that admission. He goes on and on insisting I haven't admitted my error in spite of the fact that I did so to Chardok in subsequent posts. He chooses to interpret a different argument I'm having with Chardok as somehow being the same argument I'm having with him and uses that to claim I haven't admitted my mistake. Does he understand English? Does he even understand what a mistake is?
In most arguments there's gonna be one person who's right and one who's wrong though both sides are gonna start under the impression that they are right.
An honest man with integrity will recognise that it is extremely unlikely that he is going to be right on each and every occasion whilst all the other people he argues with are going to be wrong on all occasions.
But not Jimz. He considers himself to be incapable of making a mistake. He believes that being wrong is something everyone else can do, but not him. He believes he is superior to the rest of us.
Yes, the true mark of a man is how you deal with your mistakes Jimz, so what does that say about you? Why aren't you man enough to admit that you are wrong and that I have admitted that the opening post is a fake list on numerous occasions. Why arent you man enough to admit that you are wrong in saying I have not withdrawn the opening post in its entirety? That's the argument you lost Jimz, the argument that you started over whether I had or had not owned up to making a mistake.
How can anyone have ANY respect for such a self opinionated coward.
You lost a fucking argument Jimz ...... GET OVER IT

Whatever happened to that "freedom of speech" that Americans are supposed to enjoy? I wonder what DC would say about this if he was around.
