    Question Losing an argument

    I know that many here don't like losing an argument.

    However I ponder whether any would go this far?

    Would you react like this?

    you mean the content of the dialog matters? But Rum says it's an argument!

    I remember you getting after me for saying something very like that to another member... make up your mind
    The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
    Personal failures are too important to be trusted to others.

    Amazing observation, made without a single shred of evidence, but solely on 'Rum writes regularly on winning or losing a Bilge joust.'.

    Then, thus admitting the lack of evidence, going on to ask:-

    I still don't understand why persons need to try and needle by making disparaging inaccurate remarks about others of whom they have no personal knowledge.

    Oh well it takes all types, as the old saying (Yorkshire?) goes "There's nowt so queer as folk.".

    FYI: No, I was not 'pounded as a child'.

    Where did I say that it was an argument?

    Mind you, I do suspect that it was an argument/disagreement.

    Jeepers, I've had two grandmothers, one mother, fourteen aunts, two sisters, two daughters, three stepdaughters, three wives, four mothers-in-law and I work in an office with fifteen women. Of course I've lost an arguement!!

    In my mis spent youth, I would shoot the car with a 12 gauge, or a few instances I rammed the begeezus outa their side panels.. Never hurt the "Borrowed" car to attack. To this day I wonder, is that '66, or '69 one of them? I developed a bad attitude. I'm better now. Thanks for asking

    So the lesson we learn here is: never argue with skipper... you might win.
