Snit
My behavior is fine...

Sandman
Ever notice that you're the only one that regard your behaviors as "fine"?

Snit
notice the debates almost always go to meta-debate nonsense and do not even focus on my doing any wrong.

Sandman
No, I have never noticed that, actually.

Snit
You did try to actually find me doing wrong recently...

Sandman
You mean above, when I pointed out once, no twice, that you misrepresented what someone had said? Yes, indeed.

Snit
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.

Sandman
I think you're very interesting, but that's beside the point.

Snit
Well, people in COLA and CSMA are obsessed with me.

Sandman
And you with them, apparently.

If them posting about you is a sign of obsession, then you posting about them must mean the exact same thing.

Snit
It is like they have never seen honor and honesty before... which also explains why when anyone who shows any decent character comes to these groups they are accused of being me.

Sandman
Haha, good one.

Snit
I respond because it amused me and I find psychology interesting.

Sandman
But what is the point?

Are you responding only for your own amusement, is this your response? Your responses have no actual goal other than to fulfill your own sense of amusement, do I understand your answer correctly?

As you are aware, you are always in threads where people disagree with you.

Snit
I do not follow all threads to see where people agree or disagree with me

Sandman
I was in reference to the threads you're "in", meaning that by definition you are following them.

Snit
so, no I do not know your claim to be true... nor is there any reason to think it is true.

Sandman
On what basis do you claim that it isn't true that in most (if not all)

threads you participate you are doing so with a person that disagrees with what you are saying?

What is it with those threads that keep you posting to them - what is the goal with your participation in them?

Snit
See above.

Sandman
Where you said that your motive for participating in threads is for your own amusement, correct? Where by extension you find amusement in animosity towards you, right? And where you find amusement in being disagreed with, being called names and being generally disliked? Just trying to interpret your answer correctly here.

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?

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

Sandman
No answer for the question, then? Curious.

Snit
Your question has a dishonest implication in it... as such there is no way to answer.

Sandman
In what way did it have a supposed "dishonest" implication? It's a sincere question.

Snit
See: this is also part of the "fun" for me... to note how people such as you troll and watch you freak out. :)

Sandman
Ah, am I "freaking out" now? I see. Interesting.

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.

Snit
If you think I have failed to back a point then show it...

Sandman
That's not the question though.

Snit
Of course I am making points.

Sandman
There is a difference between *having* a point, and *making* a point, as I'm sure you're aware. Making a point is achieved only and if you manage to convey it to the other party successfully and it is accepted.

I am fully aware of the fact that you think yo *have* a point in any given discussion, I am asking you when or if you ever have managed to *make* that point. Meaning, when was the last time you had a "discussion" or whatever you want to call it on USENET where you successfully made your point and the one you were talking to accepted it as valid?

And if you can find such an occurrence, how large is it percentage-wise when compared to the times you failed to make a point?
