Desert Fox CXVIIOh shit, you know what I just realized?

Artie is going to be pissed when he sees all this. Xek, we better sacrifice a virgin before our god king smites us.

NsiteWith respect Xeknos, you've tried to reduce me this whole time. You two are the only two speaking. And when Artie rereads this I'm sure he will have the common sense to reread your positions, posts, your condescension, your constant need to needle me even after I let it go twice, and he'll see I stuck up for myself. So I'm really not all that worried.

You and your bud here are kind of assholes, there I said it. Just because no one else will doesn't mean they aren't thinking it.

I'd say the way you bully your way into these situations is going to be far more of a 'disservice' down the line when people figure you out.

You may be cool here hombre, but... well... Yeah... You may be cool here

Like I said earlier...

Move along good sir, and take your hypeman with you.

NsiteBecause your hipster comment, 'everything is everything' notion, telling me I'm freaking out (at least I didn't call you a c word?), playing the victim, couldn't argue (when your idea of an argument is constantly sidestepping it by saying something that isn't at all what I was arguing) and my position useless isn't condescending? Man, you have some serious entitlement issues my dude.

Silver platters exist in the Inara Writers Gang. Man, now I really wish you'd jump me in.

EDIT: sorry, the 'our side' thing just made me chuckle a little bit. Did you guys high five after you 'served' me? Lol. Someone get these idiots a laugh track and a live audience.

NsiteAre we playing nice here or are you going to quip some other non-condescending retort if I actually respond? What if you don't like it? Will it be another 'everything is everything' sentiment?

I articulated crystal clearly, and your response was fine- I let it go after. You felt the need to continue- saying that I was freaking out and angry, doing myself a disservice...

I was finished with this debate, and articulated my position crystal clear. Because what you reduced it to was 'the imperials are greeks not romans' doesn't make that my argument. Never was.

I have been, this whole time, agreeing that there are many similarities between the Federation and the current US model. I asked if there could be a through line with all three factions and contemporary political climate, regardless of origin.

That's it. That maybe FD wasn't trying to slim down their narrative to such a structured and closed comparison.

And then I told you to die in a fire.

Lovingly.

NsiteAnd if I knew this was speech and debate class, I would have preferred we handled it Lincoln Douglass instead of Policy- or maybe impromptu? This is an internet forum, my comment wasn't worthless, you're just used to allowing yourself to see people as less than you are. As you say, I am just speaking frankly. It's the truth. You have a huge head and ego, and each time someone says something you don't agree with you try to whip them with your intellect shtick. But dude, I wasn't being disrespectful to you, or condescending. You brought that on yourself.

EDIT: This all started with Trump. I just want that to be known. Had no one said that mans name we wouldn't be here right now... Coincidence? I think not.

Marra MorganOh wow, I wake up to 83 new posts in OOC!

That can only mean one thing: someone disagreed with IWG about something.
