tbj - "I am not going to research...to learn every esoteric detail about the subject, before posting" -Hot Rod


"Do you understand what I said there? I'm not sure you do. Especially after you took out an important part of that post.


Do you really expect me, or anyone else on this forum, to read an article in an Opening Post and then spend an hour or more, or any time at all, researching the subject to find other articles so we will know everything there is available about the subject before we make our answering post?


ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?"

The couple of words that were taking out of your quote were not important as it still conveys the message and the intent of its meaning. The point isn't exactly knowing everything about the subject, but to a certain degree the author expects some to know have knowledge of it even if it's minor, especially if the poster decides to discuss it at some length.

This plagues the board from time to time. Someone makes a thread about something and then you have a few who know little to nothing about it only to start trying to discuss as if they knew all about it and then when shown how they are wrong either one they quit participating in the thread because they were shown how foolish they were or the resort to flaming and while doing so continue to speak of the subject as if they know more about it than the original poster.

You admitted that you do not spend time on a topic, but you go out of your way to still debate it or at times you say that the other person or the original poster who knows more about the subject is wrong. But that would be contradictory since you've said that you do not spend time researching the subject or at least attempt to have a better understanding in order to formulate any kind of arguments.

Here is the full quote with those "inconsequential" words that you saw fit to delete in order to change the meaning of what I said.


"I am not going to research every OP, to learn every esoteric detail about the subject, before posting."


Here is a Poll for you:


1. How many of you spend an hour or more researching *EVERY OPENING POST* to learn every detail about the subject *BEFORE* you post about it?


2. How many of you think hoER, The Bear Jew, Hijack, et al, is nuttier than a fruit cake for expecting anyone to do such a stupid thing.

In no way did that one word followed by to letters changed the meaning of the quote. How in your mind in any way did it change the meaning of the quote. How? How? How? How? And, How?

"1. How many of you spend an hour or more researching *EVERY OPENING POST* to learn every detail about the subject *BEFORE* you post about it?"

It depends on the subject, one do I have any knowledge of the subject whatsoever that I do not have to spend any amount of time to research it. Two, if I have little knowledge of it, would it be beneficial for me to search a few things about the subject in order to object or even discuss about it. Three, if it's something I am not interested in I will not participate in the discussion at all.

I am certain that posters here on UP have been doing this for years and I am sure this forum isn't the only politics forum that does this. To pretend that people do not do this is retarded.

"2. How many of you think hoER, The Bear Jew, Hijack, et al, is nuttier than a fruit cake for expecting anyone to do such a stupid thing. "

This is too funny coming from a guy WHO WATCHES 5 TO 6 HOURS OF FOX NEWS DAILY! So I think it would be reasonable to think that people who may participate in threads about assorted subjects take some time to become acclamated to it before or even during the discussion.

So, answer my questions.

hoER it's because, honestly I don't know, unless it stems from your thread when he implied that I was you and you were me.

"...unless it stems from your thread when he implied that I was you and you were me."

And that makes the assumption a **FACT**.
