You are just not getting this, SZ. Even if I had shown signs of being rude, why does this mean that think it is a bad idea to be polite?
Sorry, but no. Your understanding of the analogy fails. You say that I think it is a bad idea to be polite? But you have zero evidence. You are...
"Why do you think it is a bad idea to be polite?"
is akin to
"When did you stop beating your wife?"
or
When did you begin to think that you are intelligent?
They are assumptions / loaded questions.
Well, you say I need to try again. Do you have any authority here?

You find a smiley insulting? Aren’t you being somewhat over-sensitive?

You are assuming that I am 'afraid to debate' because it looks this way to you. However, just because "It looks to X" that Y is afraid to debate...
Here's one recent one -- plenty more to come.
You asked me why I think it is a bad idea to be polite.
You are assuming that I think it is a bad idea to be polite. That is a false assumption.
You appear to be unable to answer my question. Here it is again:
"LOL! You think I'm afraid of you too? What is there to be afraid of, SZ? :rolleyes: (Now there's a proper question; I wonder if you can answer?)"
Please try again.
Personal attacks? You are claiming that I attacked you personally in the post to which you are responding? Can you support your claim with evidence? I hope so...
They are assumptions, whether in context or out of context.
And they are false.
Nothing at all to do with ‘not liking’ the...
Too funny! Sweet irony! I am exposing your false assumptions all the time, SZ. Open your eyes. You just made one when you said that “Refusing to discuss something with a person too afraid to state their own personal beliefs is not running away”. Did you forget this in such a short time? It...
Oh, I don’t think for one second that this thread is the whole website. That would be silly. I have actually read quite a lot of the interactions in this forum... ;)
I can’t always do this. I have a life to live.
But to remind you: You wrote, “What is so hard about being polite? Why do you...
Soapy, please try to understand. 3rdAngel did not pray to you.
What? o_O
LOL! Soapy, I would advise you to refrain from advising others on written expression.
We are not engaged in a debate, Soapy. What’s happening here is not a debate.
“Something on you”? What does this mean?
You are...
It would if your definition of ‘rudeness’ is the act of pointing out your failure to make your point coherently and rationally.
Posters who disagree with you are (according to you) either rude, or attacking you.
Of course you did. Just look at what you wrote. If you still don’t understand, I’ll...
LOL! ‘Debating’ with people like you and SZ is a walk in the park, Soapy. Note that I placed the word ‘debate’ in quote marks because what we’re doing here is not debating.
The flummox is all yours, Soapy.
Oh my! Pray tell me = Please tell me. Is English your first language Soapy? If not...
Well, there are actually two questions there, Soapy.
1. When will you respond to my question about your claim that a lawyer prays to a judge, and that 3rdAngel prays to you?
2. Why are you running away? (Answer to this is that at last you have stopped running and decided that you had better...
This depends on the identity of the person doing the pointing out.
False assumption. Think about it.
In what way?

I answered your question, SZ.
Correct. You’re beginning to get the point now.
I do. You should do likewise.
