So have you agreed that this statement is wrong yet?

Sure we accuse you of being obsessed for making more than a single post on the subject? How about being the only one to be arguing a certain point for as long as you have.

If you post again, you're definitely obsessed.

At this point you're really just trolling. Though I suspect that's been the case since you first started down the path that lead here.

Actually we usually hate each other. The thing is people dislike you so much its got to the point where posters that usually hate each other gang up and start to have a go at you.

Exactly, Zone. You're like a knitting circle.

Have you decided whether or not to contribute, yet? Are you just going to sit there telling me how much you find me "funny" and dislike me? Do that in my PM box. I've attempted to resolve this clearly personal issue with you in PMs, but you keep bringing it back publically. I just hope Digi realises this when he comes here and inevitably bans some of us (Because to ban any ONE person would be unfair).

Unless...you need an audience.

Hah, "gang up". Pathetic. True though, you have to have a go at me. You've got nothing for my arguments. I'm flattered with the attention though. I didn't know I was worth as much time.

You do realize that not replying to something you've seen IS ignoring it right?

Shall we get into a semantic debate over this?

No, not at all. I read his post.

No, it was aimed at your arguments. I'm not sure of the relevance, but by pointing out that your argument "Its not semantics its facts" (Like somehoe semantics aren't facts... I guess words haveing meanings is not a fact and is therefore subjective... hey I had an epiphany on your flawed thinking!) is faulty. I'm sure there's more to it as to why that even came up, but that's beside the point at the moment.

It was entirely irrelevant.

We weren't DEBATING semantics, though. Thus my point.

Originally posted by Creshosk
No, interpreting arguments against your arguments as arguments against you is a form of strawman, and with all strawmaen, the real point is ignored.

It was an argument against me, though. Not my points.

Next reply is going to your PM box if it doesn't have anything to do with the topic. I'll talk about me ALL day, but this isn't the place for it.

Oh, and thanks for proving my point factual. All you do is "cosign" people who hate me, like a gossip girl. This has been brewing ever since the first debate I hate with you. You've literally had a grudge since then.

Yeah actually I am going to contribute but I dont think we'll resolve anything but thats because I know what you're like. However im too tired right now.

Again this is my problem with you. You take yourself too serioulsy. You think this is because I cant counter your arguments. It because I dont think you deserve the respect of having a decent conversation because you always think you're right. Its a waste of time debating with you. You're arguably the most obnoxious person on KMC....and thats saying something.

However i'll add my2cents tommorrow.

Actually I read before that statement both sides arguing what the words mean. "What words mean" is semantics. So when you say that "Free is" and define a word you're arguing semantics.

Debate, argue, they really mean the same thing.

Repeating yourself doesn't make it true. Your argument is that you weren't. when he points out you were he's arguing your point "I wasn't doing this."

Naturally you think that disrupting the topic in a big argument is not only not trolling, but its also not derailing the thread, and is on topic.

What stealing is and what free is have nothing to do with how a person gets their comics. Canadian laws have very little to do with the topic, and insults and accusations are also off topic.

So before you get on the soapbox, I'd suggest you look long and hard at your own actions.

Are you daft? I download but I pay nearly 60 a year to do so, And yes, to Marvel.

I pay, but I download.

I download so I get a copy of the comic, Its stored digitally in an easier to manage form and doesn't take up as much space. That and sometimes I can't get to the comic store. But since I pay around $5 a month, it ain't because its free.

Yes, Zone. It's a waste of time debating with me...so you'll come back tomorrow to do just that.

I don't take myself seriously at ALL. Your actions are hilarious to me and nothing but entertainment. I just find them pathetic also.

Good point though, your problem is with me PERSONALLY. So then come to me personally, via PM, and vent there. Don't drag it into public threads, unless you need back-up.

1) Why don't you let ME and Battlehammer worry about his obsession with me, and let me worry about my actions? Good boy. Of course, if you wish to continue posting judgement, do so. I just...don't really care what you think. I find it amusing.

2) Obviously when I say "downloading" it's clear what I mean. Not legal subscriptive downloads, I've even said this explicitly in the thread. Even in my first couple of posts.

Reading: It's what's for breakfast today.

Also no. I don't hate him by any means, I don't HATE anyone. Hate isn't worth my time.

He hates Battlehammer, Battlehammer hates him. I just pity them both. It was a typo.

Nice to know that you're so desperate for stuff to say that you're resorting to such things.

Delightful, let's me know I'm hitting all the right targets here.

The difference is I'm not telling anyone to change, just how I feel about a certain action they take. It's not personal.

You are giving me personal advice. You don't know me, so obviously you're not best placed to say.

How does this make up for the fact that you stormed in here and didn't read my post? If you did, you'd KNOW what I meant, seeing as I clearly stated it before I got into this debate. I made it clear that now all downloading is included, that you could legally download (I.e: From Marvel etc). Next time, you know, do that reading thing.

Yeah, I'm using my brain. If it wasn't getting on their case calling someone a theif who lives in a place that allows them to download things legally is getting personal and its getting on their case.

You'd have to be an idiot if you think you're going to achieve something in a debate on a message board online. And I'm sorry if I just called you an idiot. But that's the way I feel. I'm not trying to accomplish anything other than wasting time.

Well there's legal and illegal. when you don't specify you attack the legal downloading as well.

You should still specify. Because there is a difference. ESPECIALLY when legal downloading has been mentioned, like I do.

So first you said ALL downloading is included, later when you get called on frouping them together you say that you didn't mean all downloading, then you say you meant all downloading.

As clear and to the point as ever AC. Maybe you need an engine tune up.

Yet, I still obtained the item free of charge. Free of my person being charged. Ergo, I obtained it for free.

Whether free was the intention or not of the owner does not change the fact that I obtained it for free. For Free. You can say that the item wasn't free, but I still got it for free. Because I didn't have to pay, which was the original point from where this whole argument stemmed.

We got comics for free.

Originally posted by Alpha Centauri
It not costing you anything doesn't make a difference, because it's not about what it costs you, it's about cost of the item. The item has a cost and a price.
Nein. The original point was that the item costing us nothing (or, therefore, being free to us) was a good reason to DL.

So it actually is entirely about what it costs us. You have since then become fixated on the definition of free and clearly lost the original point.

I would still argue that we get the comics for free, regardless of whether that was the intention, but I'm pretty sure we've come full circle by now.

Concidering that I'm not and just throwing around the word factually does not add to your credit. Quite the opposite, it makes you appear more foolish. I'm not sure if you're aware of that but bandying your opinion as fact does not strengthen your cause.
