That's rather un-fahdiz of you, man.  'Sup widdat?

Agreed.  He normally isn't such a sore loser.

Even an AAR too. :lol:

The AAR lasts longer than the war, as we all know.  Soon, The Usual Suspects will be chiming in with their psychoanalysis of what some posters post the way they do, or bemoaning that their precious board has been hijacked by off-topic discussion or "semantic" somethingorothers, etc.

That's the best part of any discussion; the dogpile phase.  :D

"Intellectually bankrupt" means that one has run out of intellectual arguments and is making arguments that are non-intellectual.  Fahdiz started with some intellectual arguments, but continued without them when all of his intellectual arguments were refuted (switching, instead, to the argument that the way I expressed myself was faulty, or something like that). That's intellectual bankruptcy.

Ideas can start out intellectually bankrupt, of course, but that's not what happened here.

:rolleyes:

I disagree.

And you are welcome to your disagreement. I don't give a shit.

In debates with grumbler, eventually only grumbler still acts in character.

I was just making a crack about how grumbler used that tirade as an opportunity to declare victory.

Possibly, but his post indicated otherwise.   What he says is the only basis I have to judge what he knows.  If his post misleads, I am not the one you should be rolling eyes at.

:lmfao:  That's always been my standard of victory, barring the occasional poster mature enough to admit that they were wrong.  You've been here long enough to know that.

His post wasn't misleading. It was clearly a joke at your posting style that has been identified. (I'm not making assumptions about you as an individual just what others have now coined as "grumbleresque".)  Throw away jokes/attacks don't really warrant analysis or commentary....yet here we are. :D

Fahdiz has been kinda cranky since he came back.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Some of the most annoying arguments I've been in on Languish started with what I thought were throwaway jokes.  :blush:

I think the scientific term for what you are doing here is "beating an expired equine."

No.
PDH!

Raz is quickly devolving into Grumbler Junior.

Well with grumbler's age increasingly a factor in the quality and quantity of his postings having an understudy is a requirement. 
PDH!
