But then you didn't look at that, did you?

Sandman
I looked at that post, yes. How many times have we been over this? Best Buy is *also* a "massive" store, so there is nothing in Savageduck's response that would have me believe I had mixed them up.

Eric Stevens
That's an evesive answer.

Sandman
No, it's the fact.

Eric Stevens
You didn't look at the URL, did you?

Sandman
How many times do you need me to answer this question? Why can't you read??

I need you to answer this question as it cuts the legs out from under your claim that "there is nothing in Savageduck's response that would have me believe I had mixed them up." In fact I find it hard to believe that you did not look "at their store information video at full screen" as invited.

Ironically, missing is anyone knowing I made a mistake and telling me about it - you know, the thing you're claiming was done many times and through which I "persisted".

Eric Stevens
If you didn't pick up that a lot of people seemed to think there was something wrong with your references to B&H you must be slightly thick.

Sandman
No one seemed to think there was something wrong with my reference. At least not in a way to make me understand it.

That's apparent.

Savageduck talked about a massive store - check Best Buy. You rambled on about New York, but you say lots of stupid things, so nothing there either.

What position is that, Eric? Remember, I was talking about Best Buy, but writing B&H instead. So a link was irrelevant to me. It's not like Savageduck was saying that I was wrong and offering up the link to prove me wrong and I ignored it.

Eric Stevens
Then what else do you think he was doing?

Sandman
Questioning me calling Best Buy tiny, and supporting that with a claim about the size of Best Buy, to which I replied that I was in reference to the camera section of Best Buy, not the entire store - which is massive. My aim was to clear up what I perceived as his confusion.

Eric Stevens
But you kept saying B&H.

Sandman
But talking about Best Buy.

Eric Stevens
We all knew you weren't talking about B&H

Sandman
But still no one told me.

Eric Stevens
but we didn't know what you were talking about.

Sandman
Of course.

Eric Stevens
Savageduck tried to show you a videor of B&H but you, in your certainty, did not condescend to look at it.

Sandman
Haha! There was no "certainty", since whether or not I was typing the wrong name wasn't being challenged. Savageduck were talking about SIZE. He wasn't telling me that B&H exists only in NY and that I couldn't have been to B&H, remember? THAT would have been to try to tell me I was wrong.

Looking at that videor would have told you that no matter what store you thought yo had been in, it wasn't the B&H store.

At the time, Savageduck actually thought I WAS talking about B&H and was just amazed that I could call it tiny.

So was I. Also, it never occurred to me that you would never have heard of B&H.

Eric Stevens
What do think everyone else was doing apart from signalling concern that your use of B&H was in some way wrong?

Sandman
Asking me if I was in NY and that's about it.

I wonder why they would do that? Did you wonder why they were doing that? Obviously not.

Savageduck questioned my claim with regards to size, you asked me if I were in New York. Neither told me that I was mistakenly saying B&H instead of something else. Stop pretending otherwise. YOu both thought I was in reference to B&H, and naturally so.

Eric Stevens
We thought you were _wrong_ in reference to B&H.

Sandman
But just being an asshole and not telling me?

Tell you - what? I thought you had made an error but without engaging in a conversation I couldn't tell what. (Note: Arguments are not conversations)

Get this through your thick head - YOU never said ANYTHING about me being incorrectly in reference to B&H. Nothing.
