If Muhammad Al-Snit Prescott Terrorist Guy had morals and values, he wouldn't submit to something as pathetic as anxiety and would be determined to work hard in and out of the house to feed and clothe his family. He'd be dedicated to his work rather than to Usenet.

Instead, we have mush who is scared of facing the world because of "anxiety" but cures himself by making everyone else on the Internet miserable with his idiotic dedication to pointless debates.

Snit
Wow! Again you attack a your fantasies of a person and not any ideas the person has. Shows your lack of confidence. But let us look at your view of anxiety: many of our service members come back with PTSD - an "anxiety issue". This has a huge impact on their lives... and your response to anxiety disorders is to say people should just get over it.

Sandman
Only, he didn't actually tell you to "get over it".

He specifically said people should not "submit" to anxiety from health issues. This is literally insane... what about all the military people who have PTSD? What about rape victims? What about victims of Christian or Muslim terrorism? He is blaming the victim!

He just said that he dislikes that your personal health issues make you post repeatedly on usenet over pointless debates.

My health issues have nothing to do with my posts and I rarely speak of them except in response to others brining them up, and even then I avoid details. Whatever health issues I have are not relevant. This is a general discussion of anxiety disorders - not about me! Remember, I am not that interesting.

Something I'm sure you would agree with - when was the last time you had a "debate" on usenet that had a point? I mean, a debate that had a goal you felt was achieved successfully? Aren't you always found in threads disagreeing with pretty much everyone?

What debates? In CSMA and COLA there is just trolling and me responding. The closest you had to a "debate" was when you:

* Had nonsense accusations debunked: <http://goo.gl/WD4rKl> * Had it proved your CSS failed to validate: <http://goo.gl/0KwDMI>

You clearly and unambiguously "lost" both debates - but you got the attention you wanted. So we each "won": I was honest and accurate, you got attention.

When was the last time anyone (other than a sock puppet of yours) said "Thanks" to something you said? And even if you can find such a post, how much of the actual responses are those percentage-wise?

And then you repeat the "everyone is Snit" gag. Yawn.

I'm sure you feel that you're often trying to make a point, but the real question is, *are* you making the point? I.e. even if you feel you have a good and solid view on a given subject, do you ever find that you "win" the argument and the opposing person adopts your viewpoint?

Food for thought.

If you think I have failed to back a point then show it... but please stay relevant and speak about the last year at the most. I do not share your obsession with 2004!

But if you do, that would be great. If you can actually rise to having a REAL conversation then do so! Would be a welcomed change!

And that, really, would be us both - and all of COLA - winning. Your trolling and the trolling of others makes us all lose... even when I "win" by staying honest and honorable, the overall group loses. YOU can help make it better by working on having a real discussion.
