Which Poly poster would you most regret getting in an argument with?

Really? You just stated the way you argue.
In reality, I think I will change my mind. MtG isn't a bad person to argue with. It is you, Speer. You are like a brick wall and everybody here will agree with me.
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)
I think comparing Berzerker to David is a bit of a stretch.

I would regret getting into an arguement with most posters on Apolyton. I either respect the opinion of the poster (even if they are trolling ie: AH or just argumentative ie: Asher) or don't respect their opinion at all. I don't have a middle-ground yet that would be conductive to an arguement.
Then again, I'm not an argumentative person.
I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).
Brezerker's arguements often draw so much fire that it becomes impossible to maintain a debate. It's pointless to carry on a discussion when you post something one day then come back the next and the reply to your post is five pages back.
By and large though none of you guys scare me. I don't recall that any of the names bandied about here have ever bested me.
"I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!
One aspect of the kind of debates that usually takes place in a forum as apolyton is that a lot of posters are unable or - in most cases I'd guess - doesn't want to debate the essence of a post.
Do you think I'm vague? Yes, I am but I'll give you an example. Lets say I and another poster are debating a issue. The other poster makes a post and I answer to it with a post of some length. My post may actually disprove the other posters standpoint. But as the post includes a number of statements the other poster will ignore that his statment has been trashed and he (or a third poster that ignores the context) goes straight for some weak or fuzzy part of my point that's not that important for the point I'm trying to make itself. A bad analogy perhaps. The other poster will start to rage on about this little inconsistency and it will end with him being the victory by a technical knockout. He'll be wrong in the original issue but I'll end up being the loser.
Let me see, how many times has Obiwan admitted being wrong? Oh yeah, zero. Prove me wrong and I'll admit it.
GP -
Pardon me, but that is inaccurate, you introduced a statement I made in a dead debate from a previous month into a new thread without telling me you were talking about the old thread.
And it was an extremely inane point to begin with...I see you still have trouble stating facts...
Wrong. I was referring to a comment from a few days before. Yes...if you trace everything back it goes back a month and to another thread. By the way...the precurser thread to that one. So it was a continuous discussion. Idiot.

I feel honored.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

A continuous discussion my a$$, the prior thread was long dead and you know it. You entered a new, extremely long thread in which I was debating Agathon and started talking about statements made in a debate we had a month or so before without mentioning you were dredging up arguments made in the old thread. And what was the point of your flashback? Whether or not we had ever discussed lotteries? Sheesh! Can you get any more irrelevant? Well, yes, you just did in this thread with your BS...

A. Show me.
B. I had no problem remembering the thing. It got complicated after you pissed and moaned and had a back and forth argument after.
C. The way you argue leads to these things, Berz. You are a slippery little worm. If I try to argue issue A, you will throw in issue B. It's like pinning a butterfly wings down.
Seeing this thread, I think I'll change my answers to erz and GP

Oh...and Berzie, the threads were referring to each other. And instead of having a big argument disagreeing with me, you could have just investigated it and said "George is right...oh, but it was a while ago." Instead you debated what you had said endlessly until finally pinned down. At that point, coming out with the "it was old" sounds pretty ****ing weak.
