Father’s Advice

[image/video deleted]

Some idiot told me I was chickening out of an argument with him on here, it wasn’t that but simply I was following my fathers advice not to argue with stupid people. It was the same as Mark Twain printed above. No doubt there will be some derogatory comments below made by the same stupid people just so they can let you know who they are. 😃

Or, you were simply trying to push a (factually wrong) message and you didn't have any other argument in your defense, so you moved to ad hominem attacks and eventually dragged yourself out of a debate you couldn't subvert.

You followed your "father's advice" so much that you now felt the urge to make this post to metaphorically try to throw another stone at the "idiot", while also hiding the hand.

Ironic how, to the other party involved in this, the "idiot" would be you.
@Elessar Did you have training to be such an idiot, or is it a natural flair?

@PrettyFlamingos I don't know, ask OP maybe? It's not me the one who attacks people ad-hominem and then come up with "I leave because I'm the better person" BS when they fail to support their arguments with common logics.

@PrettyFlamingos Yeah, thanks for blocking me so I won't waste a slot lol.

Are you OP's alt, that you felt so much the urge to renovate her accusations, or?

I mean, how old are you to do this post?!

Why? The fact is you’ve responded to it shows your lack of maturity by your reckoning. Your problem is that by simple logic you are very immature in responding to something you you consider immature@Gangstress

@Grvstu 'judging' by the poor use in grammar - says it all really...
Grvstu · 70-79, F
The fact you are still finding it necessary to respond proves my point exactly @Gangstress

And you're calling them out here like a child
Grvstu · 70-79, F
No more childish than what you have just done@Nanori
Nanori · F
@Grvstu telling u a fact? Sure
Grvstu · 70-79, F
No you are just revealing a tiny mind@Nanori

Some people like to stir the pot, pick a fight, and beat a dead horse.

The greatest revenge with these people is to just ‘let it go’.
Do not try to win…do not concede…do not apologize. Just ‘let it go’.

@LunarOrbit In this specific case, *she* (attempted to) start a fight, to then withdraw once multiple users made her notice her position was logically wrong. Typical "throw the stone, hide the hand" attitude. Just like this whole post.

I love that line - remember the tv show Marcus Welby?

One time he said "I'm not going to trade insults with you...it would be like dueling with an unarmed man"
I cant quite fathom the enjoyment anyone gets from [what some people who i suspect never had a class in it call] 'debate's here or much of anywhere else. Similarly for trolling.

Troll: (says some ahole thing)
Person: (gets fired up tells troll all the things wrong with whats been said)
Troll: 'ha ha! I was only pretending to be an ahole!'
Person: 'then thats not pretending '

If they are liberal really don’t argue with them

Delay and deny .. don't rest immediately instead stretch the time and tire them out .. just pick a few lines from their argument and ask them what they mean .. make a fool out of them.

Religion and politics, total waste of time.
Mark Twain had a way with words, didn't he? ;-)
It is generally sound advice.
