you've made, which happens to be correct, and then follows you around trying to prove you wrong?

Yeah, and at Defcon 2, I can see it. :puke:

4. Well, yes. But, -
it would, on the other hand, surprise and delight me to know that anyone had actually read my post. Which on the whole seems limited to a valiant but rather small fan-base. :shrug:

22. Personally, I am truly offended that she thinks her fan base is small.

7. Worst yet, when they latch onto one sentance, misread it,
Edited on Tue May-06-08 06:45 PM by DarkTirade
and continue to try and argue with you even though they agree with you and they're just too dumb to realize it, no matter how many times you try to explain that to them.

I had one of those a while back... goddamn that was annoying. I posted something over in LGBT about a lesbian couple in Maine whose house was vandalized and had anti-gay stuff spraypainted on it and whatnot and at the end I said something like, "See, this sort of thing doesn't just happen in 'the south'.", to point out that bigotry like that isn't limited to 'those places', it can happen in a blue state too.

And somebody started getting mad at me for defaming the south. :blinkblink: So I reiterated what I said... it DOESN'T just happen in the south. And this person continued to argue with me. Post after post, trying to argue that I was wrong because that sort of thing doesn't just happen in the south.

:banghead:

8. OOoh --- that's how several people earned a spot on my ignore list.
...when they latch onto one sentance, misread it,
and continue to try and argue with you even though they agree with you...


Oh yeah!:banghead:
I don't have permanent entries but I do use the ignore list as a timeout feature for just such occasions.

Not worth getting pissed off because one person online who you'll never meet face to face is being a moron. :P

16. i had someone do that a few weeks ago, the funny part was that he was so wrong
and that was pointed out to him by a few posters, not only was he wrong but hypocritical as well.

It's even better when they try to prove you wrong through repeated personal attacks, which remain standing, because you're "holding your own."

26. I have a guy following me on IMDB as of late.
He's just screaming over and over "WHY DO YOU DEFEND TRAITORS!!??" because I called him a chickenhawk for bashing a military guy who doesn't like Bush.
