Campaign for the liberation and restoration of Martinus

[Admiral Yi]

Another successful political campaign by the Jaron Super-Pac.

What were the others?

[Admiral Yi]

Let's say I drove away all the posters that have ever left and be done with it. I gotta say I am kinda flattered I am so powerful. I feel like some sort of Voldemort.

Hey Marty, why don't you take the hint and maybe think about dialing down the asshole a notch or two.

Oh, so that was the hint I was supposed to get from all of this? I was really wondering.

[Admiral Yi]

That's why I said it.

[Martinus]

That's why I said it.

Anyways, I am not sure there was anything assholish in responding to a silly argument I have driven off all these people, including BMO.

But if I really did drive away some people, and can be persuaded with evidence that was indeed the case, I would be happy to put it in my sig.

It's important to go through proper channels. If people have a problem with Mart's posting they have to take it up with Milo.

Your attempt to drive me off backfired.  Grumbler continues to try to this day, never learning the lesson of his younger brother Sisyphus.

The same grumbler you say pretends to ignore you? Doesn't seem like a very effective strategy if driving you off is the aim.

It's not.  He encourages others to ignore me as well.  Presumably he wants everyone to ignore me so I'll go away. Previously he has stated that he does so because he thinks it will change my behavior, but I don't think that's in the cards anymore.  Originally he'd only ignore me some of the time, but decided to so all the time after I kept playing "Gotcha" with him.  That is to say, I would find previous statements that put his current statements in a poor light.

I must be doing it for some nefarious reason, like trying to "drive him off," because the alternative is that I refuse to engage in debates with someone I consider (as do many others) a basically dishonest and contrarian debater.  His ego won't allow him to consider the truth, so he invents fictions about how I am oppressing him somehow by refusing to respond to him.  It's most amusing.

Yeah, I can see how also having someone else in a debate like you would cause a train-wreck of a discussion.

Well, I know who used to work in a movie theater as a kid, Mr. Projector.

D

isagree.  A lot of us ignore him, but many do not.  Even those not ignoring him, however, saw that he was providing examples to shoot down a mere strawman argument, and so recognized that his efforts were beneath notice.

If only those people extended their specific decision to a general rule, like the more advanced thinker have..

I cannot believe that even you are falling for Raz's trolls. 

You know perfectly well that he doesn't understand his own arguments, and merely tosses out crap he has read elsewhere to bait people like Berkut into responding for a round or two.

If you ignore him, he stops posting after a whine or two about being ignored.

I ignore trolls, that is true.  But that is ignoring posts, not posters.

I don't ignore Raz, I ignore his trolls, and try to encourage others to do so as well.

Well, that was fun.

Grumbler, you know me well, you know that I always tell you things truthfully, even if they are blunt at times. 

So here is one more blunt truth from me:  you're not fooling anyone with your non-response responses to Raz.  If you're going for "he's too beneath me to bother with" strategy, you have to actually not bother with him for that strategy to work.  If you respond to him by proxy, then believe me, the one who looks dignified in such non-exchanges is Raz, and definitely not you.
