Arizona GOP censures McCain for 'liberal' record

[grumbler]

The feedback loop.  If I call you a dickhead, and you cry like a baby, I shouldn't do it any more.  If I persist, after you've made it clear that you're not enjoying the intended joke, then I'm being a pointlessly rude fuck.

So, being a pointlessly rude fuck requires that dsb object to my statement, and then I repeat it?

Why on earth would you call me a pointlessly rude fuck, then?  Your own conditions are not met.

has dsb cried like a baby?

Virtually every poster on Languish has, at some point or another, objected to grumbler's posting style.

but has dsb?

Not relevant.  The question being discussed is whether grumbler is a pointlessly rude fuck, not whether that particular post was a demonstration of pointlessly rude fuckedness.

How is this:

DG, just give it up. The ad hom is to Berk what the strawman is to grumbler; it's a catchall, and if you wait long enough, your words will be twisted for the sake of the complaint.

but your original post that started this conversation implied that you were calling grumbler a pointlessly rude fuck for his comment toward dsb

and being a pointlessly rude fuck.

depends on the definition of crying 

edit: actually, that's already been defined as "objected to posting style"!

[PDH]

You are drawing a judgement from Yi's use of "pointlessly rude fuck" that he might not have intended.

[Capetan Mihali]

I humbly withdraw my assertions.    Unpleasantness for its own sake, it must be admitted, is neither necessarily pointless nor does it confine itself to the logical strictures of ad hominem argument.

hey, hey, i only said it implied!

[grumbler]

You are drawing a judgement from Yi's use of "pointlessly rude fuck" that he might not have intended.

So, you are saying that his rude use of the word "fuck" may have, in fact, been pointless?

Point taken.  I would expect that, over the course of 10 years, Bananarama has at least once objected to grumbler's posting style.

[Razgovory]

Be careful guys, if you keep this up Grumbler may punish you be ceasing to post rude comments directed at you altogether.  It happened to me, it could happen to you.

[PDH]

Oh no.  I am with George Carlin on this one.  The use of "fuck" can never be pointless or rude.
