    Philly, you seem upset. Perhaps some introspection is in order?:think

    :shock:You mean his grammar was off? Incomprehensible. I don't know what to believe in anymore. Great scene, by the way.

    Hey Philly, do you like apples?

    And how have I ruined it exactly?

    You like that movie?

    Where did I get owned? Where I refuted accusations? Would that be the part? Or the part where pea said "ahem". Because I gotta admit, he had me on the ropes with that one. Nothing says ownage like laziness.

    As many times as I need to. Which I would hope would be zero, but that was unfortunately not the case.

    I thought they called him the scarecrow.

    Clumsily? How exactly is that clumsy? I used it to refer to a textbook version of the fallacy. Perhaps you can clarify so that I will feel insulted as you intended.

    Let me get this straight: first you inaccurately mock me for having "impeccable" grammar and say that grammar doesn't matter here, then I say that I don't have impeccable grammar, then you mock me for not having impeccable grammar.

    Do you understand how insults work? Because it seems like you don't. Mocking someone isn't just restating something they just said about themselves back to them.

    If you're going to quote movies, why not quote a movie that isn't terrible?

    You're assuming things, I never said it was wrong, just new.

    By the way don't act so surprised if you're asked to explain yourself here after stating that a particular fighter is overrated and boring. After all it would be rather stagnant in this forum if no one had to actually explain their views. Threads filled with posts consisting of a single line don't make for very interesting viewing.

    Then again you probably already knew this but would rather turn this into a silly exchange of big words.

    It was a fairly interesting thread that would lead to interesting clashes of opinion but now it is just you talking about english language in a unnecessarily verbose way designed to make you look superior. :-(

    Yep.

    Ok. I don't have a problem with explaining myself. But that's not what happened.

    I agree completely.

    I'm sorry, what gives you that impression?

    Dude. Not only have I refrained from making a top 200, but I've never ever produced a top 100 or top 50.

    ....I'm very drunk too.

    Excellent detective work.

    Actually, that isn't what happened. I stated it to natonic, not you. Let's not misinterpret.

    So terrible that you've seen it enough times to know the exact reference, despite the fact that it wasn't even in the video posted? I could've been asking a simple question for all you know. Let's not assume.

    Again, I really don't think you get how insults (or really language in general) works.

    Because misinterpreting is your schtick, right?

    So you're saying that it can't be a terrible movie because I got the reference to it? Really? I mean, I understand that you're lazy and don't put any thought into what you type, but this is a new low.

    So you just feel personally uncomfortable when people use words that are beyond a certain length that you decide? Is that supposed to bother me?

    The "works" in your sentence didn't actually need the "s". A firmer grasp of language in general would've taught you that.

    No, because then you'd be a hypocrite, and we all know that's my schtick. Right?

    I am indeed lazy, I'll give you that one. Better than being a quasi-intellectual blowhard, eh?

    You're right. That should be work. I made a mistake because of the parenthesis. However I will remind you for the second time that pointing out to someone who says they don't have "impeccable" grammar that they made a grammar mistake is not an insult.


    Yes.

    How am I a "quasi-intellectual"?

    I'm not gonna lie guys, this was kind of fun at first, but I'm rapidly losing interest. I'll have to go ahead and call it a night. Just too damn lazy.
