Bajaratt:
I guess you went to doctor school because you didn't have the balls or the capability to be a lawyer. You can't argue for shit, because your method seems to be putting your fingers in your ears and screaming out "you're all idiots and are jealous of things that have no realevence to what we're talking about" so that you can't hear us proving how full of shit you really are.
Thank you for bringing this up. This is actually why I find Peregrine so amusing, he's such a crappy and predictable debater. Every post (after the first one which usually has some thought put into it) will fall into one of 4 categories:
1. Repeat what he already said previously.
2. Change the subject to divert attention.
3. Insult the person who disagreed with him.
4. Brag about himself (in game or RL) and claim an automatic trump based upon some supposed superiority (which I have yet to see him display).
Sometimes he'll combine a few of the above tactics. Sometimes he has to take a moment to suck up to a friend that he insulted in a carte blanc fashion a few posts earlier, but it's pretty much the same old shit. I have a perverse sense of humor, so I like to see which one he'll pick. "Whoo-hoo, a #4 again! I win the bet!"
To stem off the predictable retorts he'll make unless I counter them first:
A. Tactic #1 is not OK because you supposedly "proved your point earlier," if it failed to convince at repetition #12, it's still unconvincing at repetition # 32.
B. I don't care what grades you got in what debating courses from HS or college. You never learned that the purpose of debate is to persuade, or you never gained that ability. When you insult your audience in the first paragraph, you lose. Hell, he hasn't even been able to convince a significant number of people that he's intelligent.
C. "I'm not here to debate because of [lame excuse here]." Bullshit. If you weren't here to debate, you'd post once and shut the fuck up afterwards.
I especially loved when Alanon used the Point-Counter Point tactic, which is considered by many to be the most thought-provoking and time consuming (in preparation) agrument, and the ass-wipe called him simple for using so many quotes, lol.
On a side note, despite the lack of evidence, I do believe that Peregrine is a medical student. Of course, I also firmly believe that he has his Letter of Acceptance framed above his bed so he can masturbate to it every night.
Finally, I'm a big fan of the movie
The Princess Bride, and I have a request to make. I'd really appreciate it if Peregrine would make a one word post for me before this is all over:
"Inconceivable!"
