No, you're an asshole because you are a legend in your own mind.
I'm far more than merely a legend in my own mind. I am the Beta and the Psi.
You think I'm an ashsole because my presence precludes you from being the authority on the subject. You simply want to preach, not learn.
Sorry, I do not engage with assholes,
Let's see, you've made it clear that you consider me to be an ashsole, and your engagement with me is locked in overdrive.
I have to say that your assertion is false.
especially assholes who:
1. Think they are smart, when it is clear they are not.
Your problem is that you don't have the capacity to make that determination. You are highly undereducated and often you are as stupid as fuqk. When you say someone is "clearly" not smart, you've just announced that said person might be the smartest person in the world; you simply do not know. Your judgement is shit and cannot be taken at face value. You have not shown that you know anything other than how to flee when forced to think for yourself or when obligated to apply critical reasoning. You kick up dust as you flee from the first sign of a differing view.
... and what happens when I offer to teach you something? That's right, you panic and reach for memes.
2. Are smug in their certainty such that they wouldn't ever remotely consider they are wrong, refuse to consider another's argument.
Again, your shitty judgement rears its ugly head. I tell you that 2+2=4 and you consider me "smug" for being certain. Of course I'm going to be certain in what I know. Uneducated losers who are deathly afraid of learning are going to HATE me for simply knowing things that I willingly share because it makes them feel threatened.
3. Traffic in vacuous claims/generalizations which cannot be substantiated
Now you are realizing that you should have learned how to perform an internet search and how to read English text so that you could independently verify what people tell you. Your inability to perform independent research, whether it be due to extreme laziness or due to inability to use the internet or your local library, is nobody else's fault.
4. Patronize, incessantly, as if they were God's gift to whatever the argument is about.
I'm willing to assume for the sake of argument that I'm God's gift to any topic, if that will get the ball rolling.
5. Traffic in weasel words ('everyone says' 'and you know it, too', all of which is a type of posturing. Trump does this all the time)
This is what you do. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and presume that you do not talk to yourself.
6. Traffic in loaded, charged, verbiage.
You don't get to use that as an excuse for fleeing out of sheer cowardice.
7. Ask questions with assumed, false, vague, highly debatable premises
You do not get to control the questions. Answer the questions posed to you. If they are too easy, then give the honest, direct and straightforward answers. Don't be a coward. If you don't understand any part of any question then ask for clarification.
8. Are incessantly off topic.
... so stop pivoting and stop derailing.
9 Traffic in egregious cynicism, nihilism. "Egregious'.
This is irrelevant. All are free to express any cynicism they might have, and you will like it.
10 Traffic in [mock-the-fleer]/[mock-the-coward] logic and [wait patiently] to engage.
FIFY. Just stop fleeing, tipping your king and pivoting when faced with knowledge that comes to you from outside your thought collective.
11 Misapply the logic of fallacy.
As a leftist, you have become accustomed to invoking every fallacy that exists. I don't think you are capable of forming a valid argument without help. As such, I am willing to help you, but it will involve me pointing out the myriad of fallacies behind which you hide.
I'm here for you if you wish. Formal logic is my thing.
12. Unjustly and egregiously trivialize, a type of posturing
How do you suggest the trivial be treated?
13. Refuse to substantiate a claim or claims.
I support everything I post. This is why I never need to flee.
14. Gish gallop (google it, yeah, i don't like the term, either, but it is a thing). There are exceptions, though.
All of my posts are of the format of this post, in which I break down each point and address each one individually and more-or-less thoroughly. Of course, some require more of a response than others, but I confine my response to clear verbiage on that point alone.
15. Egregiously Traffic in cheap shots, sophomoric remarks, diminishing/disrespecting, someone's name, like 'Joetato' etc. "egregiously".
Sorry, you're going to have to endure all the shots that I take. In saying the truth and nothing but the truth, I must tell the
whole truth.
16. Traffic in, and fail to grasp, thought-terminating cliches ('fake news' "TDS" )
I do not have to respect, or even recognize, your denial of anything. Your desperation to delude yourself into denial does not impose any requirement on me to do likewise.
17. Fall prey to the demagogue/cult leader
I do not have to accept, or even respect, your desperate mischaracterizations.
18 Traffic in Unapplicable pithy aphorisms
I'll determine applicability for my aphorisms and you determine the applicability of yours, thank you very much.
19. Calling someone a Fascist, or a Communist, or some established group as a pejorative, without knowledge of what these things really are.
As an authority on this subject who draws directly from Karl Marx, I will continue calling all things "Marxist" to the extent that they are Marxist, and I will leave it to readers if they wish to take it as a slur or merely as an accurate observation.
There's a difference between 'Fascist', and 'fascist'.
Nope. One is simply a typo.
There are major differences in a Communist/Marxist, and a social democrat.
Both communists and socialists are Marxist. A social democrat is a socialist who is trying to deceive others.
20 Posturing. Posturing is a pseudo debate trick,
Ignored. This is just your insistence on controlling what is expressed. I'll determine what I express and you determine what you express, thank you very much.
I will never ask you for permission to post anything.
A) Shaming, belittling, talking others down in order to puff oneself up
Whatever. I don't need to "puff myself up". Leftists, however, apparently need to puff themselves up for some strange reason.
I do, however, shame and belittle all those who deserve it. For example, as a leftist, you probably support the killing of living humans who have not committed any crime and who have not expressed any desire to die. If this is your position then I will certainly shame you for being a shitty person. What are your thoughts on "abortion", for example? Do you think that contract killings are just wonderful because it really is just a matter of choice? Do let me know.
B) Flaunting credentials. On anonymous internet forums, they are meaningless. Either be willing to produce your credentials, otherwise, you're blowing smoke. You're an attorney? Okay, show us your bar card. You have a PHD? Okay, prove it.
Wrong. Yes, credentials are meaningless on anonymous fora ... therefore all claims of credentials are to be ignored. No, we don't demand credentials upon someone's claim of credentials, we simply ignore the claim and press forward. For example, if you were to present an image of a credential, I'll simply presume that you dropped your name into an app that generates such an image, and I'll press ahead. Credentials are meaningless. Everything you post should stand on its own.
Also, demanding or providing links does not support an argument either; pointing to someone who is equally mistaken does not change FALSE to TRUE.
See, all I'm interested in is the argument, sans the crap,
Then post your thesis/theorem/argument and then provide the support. Then, don't run away when you get a response. Stick around. Either refute the response or accept it by modifying your argument to incorporate it.
and all I've seen from you is crap,
... all you've seen from me has terrified you into fleeing to the hills. You have not posted any argument onto JPP but you have kicked up a lot of dust.
Would you care to make an argument, or do you not have any thoughts that are your own?
you're really full of shit, and you have no idea how many hundreds of petty fools like you I've encountered on the internet,
You have never encountered anyone like me, but I have had to deal with many hundreds of cowards like you. You find the fact that I stand ready to refute what you know to be your flawed arguments to be rather daunting, hence you never post anything of substance.
going all the way back to the days of Usenet.
I think I remember you. You were a coward back then as well.
You are a phony. And an asshole.
An ashsole, sure, but I'm definitely a genuine ashsole who is waiting for you to post an argument. Is that going to happen sometime in this decade?
