It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Seriously?

Scott, I shouldn't really answer, but -- how would you feel if someone

a) claimed that you weren't familiar with the work you were discussing

b) claimed after you explained that you were that that you were, in effect, lying

c) claimed that you were posting "stupid things"?

When you make inaccurate accusations about people, they are rapidly going to lose respect for your argument. At least, I will. If you're that wrong about me, why would I expect you to be right about something else?

When you add an insult into the mix, well . . .

That's why I ended the discussion, as I do these days whenever someone insists on arguing ad hominem rather than sticking to the issue at hand. Not because we have differing opinions.

And, really, this doesn't happen to me often on the Asylum, despite the hundreds of posts I've made. I can think of one exception on the General Asylum -- I ended that discussion too -- and otherwise, it's always the same guy, and he does it to others as well.
