Accuse the victim (the mark who accepted the burden of killing the troll) of 'Not Reading.'
I told you several times that I intended not to troll. Even if I had by accident, you clearly accepted the bait BUT you messed up. You debated poorly and tried to address my points. When you could not accomplish that, you delved into some rhetorical fable about how clever I was for pulling the strings on this troll-esque masterpiece. Only, since you strawmanned and completely missed the point of what I was saying, you've been fighting with yourself.
I know you get worried sometimes that no one cares what you think, and you're right, but (for now) people are reading what you post. You aren't quite useless because you make me laugh.
This is what I mean. More insulting behavior. I don't appreciate that, especially considering I wasn't trying to attack anyone. Even when I spoke with Lord Lucien, he was a little abrasive at first and patronized me but after I answered his questions, he was fine. His questions made sense too. He didn't just accuse me of garbage first and he didn't make assumptions. He inquired first and saved himself from looking ridiculous. You failed to do that which is why you're still here having trouble putting the noob to sleep. You will continue to fail in that aspect and will most likely learn your lesson about confronting new people next time. I hope.
This point by point is taking entirely too long. Here's the situation as I see it:You entered a thread. You posted a (deliberately?) vague statement that implied agreement with someone that made a silly mistake. When someone (me) pointed out that they (and by association, you) were wrong, you fell back to your tactic of accusing that person (me again) of failing to read the thread. By extending the altercation you have exhibited all the classic signs of a troll. This will end as soon as you say that Mace's wounds will not bleed. That you implied such an assertion makes it worth your while to recant it. Even if you haven't explicitly said it, you've given the impression that you think (or, I hope, thought) they might. It is worth the 2 seconds copy/paste on your part to salvage your reputation here. If you don't, I will feel safe in suggesting that we extend the BAN to you.
Communicating poorly and then acting smug about it isn't cleverness.
Well, I do agree it's a silly mistake. There's nothing vague about my statement and I will dissect it. Just for you.
I was under the impression that everyone here has watched the first Star Wars movie.P.S. Mace after a struggle.
The first sentence is not vague. It mentions the first SW movie. That equals ANH. I mentioned my opinion on the relevant aspect of this thread. That is when I say "Mace after a struggle." This is an attribute to the first post of the thread, you see.
Then, our hero arrives in shiny armor to save the day from the evil, overwhelming troll! If these posts had visuals, here's the part where the shiny knight trips in his fancy armor:
The truth is, the ANH scene is an irregularity, an abberation. It does not fit any other source, at any level of canon. It is an outlier, and can be ignored.(Anyway, didn't the wound close over instantly? There wasn't an arterial blood spurt going so the argument could be made that it did close the wound.)
No, it cannot be ignored. No, the wound did not close instantly. If you thought it should be ignored, that's fine. It can't. Why? It's canon. It cannot be ignored. It proves that lightsaber injuries can be flawed and sometimes cauterization is not complete. Hell, it just adds realism to the series.
Then, it happened. You changed your story. Now, it became an exception to the rule and was suddenly canonical. For some reason and for arguments sake, it doesn't have to be ignored anymore. LOL?
It is the exception, rather than the rule, for lightsabers to inflict a wound that causes any kind of bleeding at all. The ANH encounter is one of the few cases of such an occurrence. We cannot assume that any given lightsaber wound will bleed. If you want to suggest that Ventress and Maul's attacks will injure Mace in such a way that he bleeds then it will be up to you to prove that their attacks will be performed differently from the majority of the Saga.
^ That is not only you changing your story but it is a strawman. You did not address my previous post relevantly. Instead? You smacked the strawman with a damned iron fist.
As I mentioned to Lord Lucien, had I assumed that any given wound would bleed? Had I suggested that Ventress and Maul's attacks would injure Mace like that?
No. Not once. Not a single time. Not before or after. I believe at this point you realized this due to the fact that you had not yet accused me of being a troll (Something you coincidentally did after you could not debate properly) and here is what happened:
In short, you are a troll. A clever troll, one far beyond the comprehension of our own little local troll, Nebaris, but a troll nonetheless.
What an overwhelming surprise! I have suddenly become a troll because Red Nemesis cannot debate his way out of a cardboard box. Then, you continue to ignore my posts about your strawmanning and incorrect debating pattern that was spat around the thread earlier. I'm sorry but who is the clever troll here, dude? If I did troll (Which was not my intention. I proved that earlier) you accepted the bait like a bumbling fool. If I did not, it is simply a case of you getting irritated and enraged due to the fact that you messed up. Either way, it does not look so good for you.
People, don't feed the troll.
Egad, more unnecessary jargon. Moving on.
OK guys, who wants me to post all the bullshit this guy comes up with? I'm taking requests now.
This is the immature garbage I'm talking about. You just don't know when to stop. The large issue at hand is that you tried to embarrass some noob in front of everyone to look like the wholesome hero of debating. I bet you didn't count on me calling out your strewn debating pattern and that nasty habit you have of false accusations. No, you didn't. This is why your stuck in this dirty rut. How do you get out? It's simple. Compromise. If you cannot do that, I'm afraid this will continue to occur.
This tactic might have worked if you had actually done that. Making a big deal about how you are going to take the issue to PMs does nothing but make you look like a hypocrite. Either PM me (which would include not responding to this post) or stop trying to look like a victim and own up to the fact that you are a troll.
No, I asked you twice and I even conjured my post to send to you via PMing. Then, I saw this. You continue to post publicly in an attempt to embarrass me. I'm not stupid. If you didn't care, it would have been taken to PM's many posts ago. Instead? You're only going to embarrass yourself. I explained, in detail, three times now how I did not troll and how you have continued to bash me for senseless reasons. You just have difficulties accepting responsibility.
If I lose in a debate, I will tell you. I will not sit here and try to worm out of it with cheap rhetoric and continuous posting. Own up, brother.
If you want to bring this to PMs, then you will have to PM me. That's how it works. The goal here is to stop you from trolling. You won't learn anything if all I do is distract you from the thread. Change has to come from you.
I did not intend to troll. You've completely derailed this thread with your confrontational behavior and demeanor. Your pride and attempts to show off for your fellow posters is quite inane. No one really gives a damn. The only reason I'm still posting is to call you out on your illogical posting, horrid reading comprehension and your quick and agile ability to change your argument to suit yourself. I'm not going to sit here and have you embarrass me when I explained to you several times my intention was not to troll him. You wanted this so stop complaining. If you didn't, I'd have a flashy red "1" where it says "Private Messages."
1. I decide what is and is not ironic here.
You're having a control trip over irony? That's outright silly.
2. I'm glad that you can admit that you're the one at fault:
You can see but you cannot read:
[Y]ou've been all over me for supposedly derailing the thread but I'm the one stopping that now.
Bolded to help, friend.
Anyways, for the millionth time, I did not intend to troll. I made that clear. You've done nothing but falsely accuse me and bash me using half witted reasoning. I did nothing wrong but make a statement to another member regarding his post followed by a response relevant to the basis of the thread. There's nothing more to it. There's no ulterior motive. No, I am not the Darth Sidious of trolls so relax. Take it easy. No one is out to get you.
