Malleus you will lose every debate if you make things personal. Meaning: I say something and you disagree. What I said is almost verbatim from an article on opinion from the net. I can't get the site up to paste it here. I shall later tonight. The only reason you disagree is not the content but who wrote it.
When you do this you lose crediblity as a debater. You can't always put someone down and say they are wrong just because of who they are.

You talk down to me when you say "I have been trying to teach you". This is a statement which says "you are above me" But sadly you are not, we are equal. But you do this with everyone, which is the reason so many pissing contests go on with your name in it.

Opinions need data. Sorry but that is one of the dumbest statements I have every heard on this site. So what you are saying is opinions are not allowed here. I think they are, but you can ask someone to back up their opinion with facts or something else. You never did when I said I like Seattle's manager. You only need to go furthur once an opinion is disputed. Then you go to debate stage. This is what you can't handle: debate. It is either your way or the highway. You see I think I can say "The moon is full of green cheese". If you don't agree, you bring up the facts to say that opinion is wrong. I have a right to say my opinion and will do so, without offending anyone here. That is my guarantee to this site moderators and the community as a whole.

Instead you knocked me just for saying it. Meaning you don't like someone else not just their opinion, knock them for it unless you agree. You have a right to bring up facts to say my opinion is wrong. You have no right to say I can't have the opinion.

The most pompous statement I keep reading is you are teaching us. And we are not lying down listening to you with no thoughts to our own opinions or thoughts. Who the heck do you really think you are? That much above everyone else?

You asked me to look up a couple of words and one of them was uninformed opinion. I have now used that word in my sig.

I have a words for you to look up: respect and narrowminded. Please look them up. First one: use it freely as you may get the same treatment back in kind. Second one: stop using it and feel the love.
