Re: Rodeo, you're HILARIOUS.
Posted by Ali on 6/09/08

    The laughs keep on a-coming.

    Admit it: you're ignoring my posts, not because I'm stupid (more ad hominem
    attacks? Tsk, tsk, Rodeo), but because YOU can't formulate an intelligent or
    logical response to any of my many points.

    In reality, it doesn't even matter if you admit it or not. The evidence speaks for
    itself -- you should ALWAYS be careful what you put in writing and post to the
    Internet.

    But in case anyone pays any mind to you here, I will still take the time to refute
    your ridiculousness, mainly because I'm at lunch and you keep making exposing you
    for what you are more and more fun.

    1) I never asked you a question I didn't answer, unless it was rhetorical (a valid
    form of argumentation).

    2) I never called you ANYTHING. I don't have to resort to name-calling because I can
    articulate an intelligent argument and know the rules of logic and debate; you
    clearly do not.

    3) I especially love this: "they string together an entire book of baseless claims
    against a person as though anyone has time to make a case by case argument against
    all of their accusations...especially considering what a waste of time it would be
    when they will never acknowledge any counterarguments but rather resort to just
    another series of random and baseless attacks. What a couple of mental midgets."

    Pot, meet Kettle.

    I wish you could see my smile, Rodeo. It's a mile wide. (BTW, I LOVE how you
    borrowed language from my posts after claiming not to have read them.) I will still
    respond, however, by saying that I CITED every source I used in my arguments. I
    never made any claims against "a person", I argued against your flimsy and STILL
    unsubstantiated assertions using REAL logic, something with which you appear to be
    unfamiliar. If you consider that an attack, you're way too sensitive.

    WHAT ARE YOUR COUNTERARGUMENTS RODEO? I went through all of your posts and couldn't
    find anything but name-calling. I think you may not know what a counterargument is.

    4) This is the million-dollar line: "Just know you are right and let those two
    leptons continue their endless and mindless rants."

    YES! That's the way to encourage intelligent debate.

    Hey, everybody, you're right! Rodeo says so! It doesn't matter if you can't
    substantiate your claims or if you throw out blanket generalizations based on zero
    verifiable fact. If anyone offers any criticism, they're ranting, and iut doesn't
    matter anyway because.. wait for it... you're STILL right!

    I'm going to print out this thread and use it to show my debate students the
    difference between argumentation and ranting. They'll be able to see it from a mile
    away. I won't even have to TALK to them about it.

    5) I'm a 29 year-old white female. I'm gorgeous, but taken. I'm employed as a
    teacher in the highest-paying district in the State. I'm half-Mexican and half-
    white. I went to Oxford Univesity (University College) in Oxford, England (summa
    cum laude) for my Bachelors and have a Masters in Literature from UCI.

    6) I love you, Rodeo! You make me look like Socrates. Thanks for the laughs.
