You have to consider that Tony for one has a serious agenda

Tony Cooper
No agenda at all.

Sandman
I have proven that this is false.

Tony Cooper
It's strictly reactionary. You do know "agenda" means "a plan of some sort"? I can't very well have an agenda regarding what might be posted in the future.

Sandman
agenda noun • the underlying intentions or motives of a particular person or group

Tony Cooper
Good to see you examining a word to see if it fits. Go a little further, though.

Intention: a thing intended; an aim or plan.

Very good, Tony, you seem to have found an actual dictionary!

Now look up "proven". "I've come to this conclusion" is not the definition.

No one claimed it was. It has been proven with empirical evidence, substantiated with logical conclusion based on your posting history - i.e. the only way one COULD prove it.

I don't plan to challenge nospam. I let pass any posts in which he doesn't say anything I disagree with.

Disagreement has nothing to do with it.

When he says something that needs reined in, I react.

Sandman
You react very predictably and with severe animosity and only if nospam is saying it. If, for instance your troll buddy Eric were to use the phrase "most people", you wouldn't blink.

Tony Cooper
Context rules.

Unless nospam is the one posting, that is - then context is irrelevant and you will start an argument.

Sandman
He's done so eight times in the last three months. nospam have used it 14 times in the same time period, yet you single him out.

Tony Cooper
Context rules.

See above for reference.

Sandman
That's having an agenda. You're welcome.

What, no "thank you?"

towards nospam, so why would nospam expose himself willingly to any opinion from Tony, seeing how Tony's opinions about anything nospam ever does is negative? If nospam says anything, you can be sure to find Tony to claim that nospam is wrong and it's the other way around - regardless of the initial claim. If nospam claimed the sky was blue, TOny would scream it is green.

Tony Cooper
No, I would say that the sky has no color. Rayleigh scattering can give it the appearance of blue, though.

Sandman
See what I mean? You would argue for the sake of argument, just because it was nospam who said it.

Tony Cooper
You said it.

Not in the example, Andreas. Maybe you need someone to read the paragraph out to you?

Sandman
You basically just went "I have no agenda, no wait, I do".
