When did you become the voice for the “better posters” of this forum?[/quote]
I didn’t say I was “the voice for better posters”, Nor did I imply it. However, as a long time poster I am always impressed with the really good posters on this forum.
Don’t confuse quantity with quality.
Actually, he’s not a very good poster. His statements are usually general, he’s used weak straw man arguments in the past. At times he seems absent of all logic. His ability to read a sentence and actually understand what it says is very poor as well. He may be a great guy and your good forum friend but he’s clearly not one of the better posters on this forum.
We agree here. Politics would not have been injected into the conversation had irish not first brought it up, I then followed suit, I’m sure you caught that. He also for some reason brought religion into the thread, I thought that was odd even for him.
I don’t think it’s a matter of “knowing” current political events better, or for that matter understanding the combat arts better. I think Irish knows boxing better than I do for example. Rather, I think it’s a matter of being able to carry on a civil debate without attacking someone personally for their particular views. Also, taking the time to really understand what the other poster is stating helps as well. Something I think you are able to do, but Irish not so well. Irish feels he has to defend boxing for probably a number of reasons (a sport that I still watch). He argues from emotion and that’s never a good thing.
Anyway, good talking to you take care Boss
