Never expect Asher to play nice, he hasn't heard of the concept.

[Asher]

Nice is for people afraid of a fight.

Well I dunno. You get a fair few drunken brawls there too, like you would at any tourist spot.

Actually, some of us are capable of winning arguments without resorting to fights. It's more difficult sure, but it's more satisfying when you win.

I fight after I've already won the argument and the person is just wasting my time.

It just happens a lot!

Actually I've noticed that punching people in the face is a pretty effective way of stopping an argument before it begins.

And so has our President, it seems.

Judging from your posts, you are either a pathological liar or have a really effective means of avoiding jail time.

Hey, I never said I do that myself. I have been around a couple of guys who do that though.

My Dad's one of them.

Do you know......I never try to 'win' an argument on a forum. I just post information or a view point that might make people think a little deeper on a subject. I really don't care about winning 'posts' too much, at the end of the day we all die alone anyway, so it's just the journey that is important.
It's why Asher and I will never understand one another(about games), and why he can never really feel like he has 'won' against me, 'you can't beat someone who doesnt compete' - an old kung fu lesson

[Asher]

I always feel like I win against you. You make ridiculous arguments that are easily destroyed, then you retreat like a Frenchman.

There's something inherently weird about a Canadian insulting an Englishman by calling him a Frenchman.

This is making my head hurt.

I'm from Western Canada, we hate the French more than the English do.

[Alinestra Covelia]

...is that even conceptually possible?

Eviller than Satan. Better than God.

[Asher]

Canada has Quebec which constantly whines and takes billions of dollars every year from Western Canada. They piss us off even more than the French piss of the UK, since they more or less mind themselves now...

Neither do I - it's an unfortunate side effect of my genius.
