There really is nothing consistent in your replies. Rather, you've decided to pick and choose how you respond to maximize insult. It's *so* much easier to simply avoid any potential issues than to actually discuss them. As such, I've decided to quit responding to this thread until someone who wishes to actually participate in a discussion, rather than trying to "win" it comes along.

Rather than simply stating this, you decided to post $diety knows how many lines of completely worthless information again and again. Had you simply said *exactly this* at the beginning, the thread/discussion would have been over. This is exactly what people mean when they say that they feel that you are not participating in discussions fairly. It's like you specifically hold back information that you know and bait people into saying things simply so you call put out the ace from your sleeve and point out how someone else is wrong. Yay!
