waldo Posted March 3, 2012 Report Posted March 3, 2012 Now that is a good effort, but apparently you have never been in a debate with Waldo and asked him a simple question, which he never answers as he then starts acting like a puppy who's got the ball the kids were playing with. Like the time in the "Grade Obama" thread where after he attacked several of us who went ahead and graded Obama, would not offer his own opinion on a grade when asked. After several more attempts and the childish responses(like yours) it became clear he likes being chased around. still smarting? Get over it! Quote
waldo Posted March 3, 2012 Report Posted March 3, 2012 Most of the time when arguing with conservatives all Waldo does is dispute their comments with rambling word filled posts of empty factoid leftwing nonsense. He never responds to simple questions of what he is doing or believes on an issue, or to present HIS theory in a discussion. This is because he doesn't want to defend himself, but rather to attack others instead. It's a basic ploy to be on the offensive and it reveals that this is only a game, or entertainment to him. you simply can't support anything you say. You take exception to someone actually challenging your vacuous statements and showing they have no substance... perhaps a discussion board with active exchange/challenge isn't the best vehicle for your type of participation. Just sayin! Quote
sharkman Posted March 3, 2012 Report Posted March 3, 2012 Wow, 4 posts in a row in the space of 9 minutes, I really hit a nerve! Gonna report me too? Quote
waldo Posted March 3, 2012 Report Posted March 3, 2012 I am here if you have something relevant to discuss... I'm not particularly keen to have you devolve another thread into an insult fest. Your choice. Quote
GostHacked Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 I am here if you have something relevant to discuss... I'm not particularly keen to have you devolve another thread into an insult fest. Your choice. I guess the bets are off Waldo. I tried to reason with you, I guess that's not how it will play out. Insults? Quote
waldo Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 I guess the bets are off Waldo. I tried to reason with you, I guess that's not how it will play out. you tried to reason! Fake skeptics do not reason. Whatever bets you thought were on... in any case, if you're feeling particularly emboldened, if you're fresh off following another conspiracy meme, if you're juiced from another bounce through the denialsphere... bring it on! MLW needs more of your brand of humourous posturing as the "pollution & CO2 plant food guy". Quote
sharkman Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 I am here if you have something relevant to discuss... I'm not particularly keen to have you devolve another thread into an insult fest. Your choice. You say you ar not keen to have another thread devolve into an insult fest, and your very next post on the matter is an insult fest: you tried to reason! Fake skeptics do not reason. Whatever bets you thought were on... in any case, if you're feeling particularly emboldened, if you're fresh off following another conspiracy meme, if you're juiced from another bounce through the denialsphere. .. bring it on! MLW needs more of your brand of humourous posturing as the "pollution & CO2 plant food guy". This is why some of us are getting tired of you. Insults, condescending comments and arrogance do not make for interesting discussions. How many friends do you have in real life? Be honest with yourself. Quote
waldo Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 You say you ar not keen to have another thread devolve into an insult fest, and your very next post on the matter is an insult fest: I most certainly did not insult MLW member GostHacked. Out of the blue, he drops by with his "all bets are off" nonsense - hence, my reply which included reference to his self-avowed denier labeling, done many times over (i.e., he is a fake skeptic). That he revels in conspiracy themes is self-evident. He has repeatedly, and in regards his self-avowed denier being, hypocritically raised concerns over traditional toxic pollution. He has also, repeatedly, pronounced on the "CO2 is plant food" meme. He most certainly follows the denialsphere, quite regularly bringing forward it's nuggets/gems. My reply spoke to this, all of this... certainly, it is not an insult to speak to reality, his reality... or is it, in sharkman world? This is why some of us are getting tired of you. Insults, condescending comments and arrogance do not make for interesting discussions. How many friends do you have in real life? Be honest with yourself. a drive-by whine! Quote
sharkman Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 You were insulting as you often are. It doesn't matter if he was wrong, or believes thing you don't, that doesn't make it okay to cue the condescending nonsense. It's why I, among others, have stopped bothering to engage you. Quote
waldo Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 You were insulting as you often are. It doesn't matter if he was wrong, or believes thing you don't, that doesn't make it okay to cue the condescending nonsense. It's why I, among others, have stopped bothering to engage you. again, no insults were made, regardless of your ultra-sensitivities on display. I will not miss your level of "engagement"; i.e., the insulting drive-by. Note: this is not me insulting you; rather, this is me offering comment on the reality of your "engagement". Quote
sharkman Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 a drive-by whine! And I suppose this too is not condescending nonsense. Whatever. Quote
waldo Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Whatever. I am here if you have something relevant to discuss... I'm not particularly keen to have you devolve another thread into an insult fest. Your choice. Quote
lukin Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 Waldo, what's your view on the National Pot? You kinda contradict yourself here. :blink That is why you can't be taken seriously. and there you have it! Yes, quite a sad reflection on the populace, at large... particularly those whose only input to legitimate discussion is to throw back platitudes, disinformation, snarc and outright lies... because they can... or because POS newsrags like the National Post spur them on. buddies, save your fake outrage... oh, by the way, any like comments on the Hackergate denier-fest - any outrage there guys? Heartland Institute is nothing more than a denier front, one fully ensconced in media relations... that is it's lifeblood! A peek into the climate denier industry: So if the NP is a POS rag, why did you link an article from the NP to support your misconceptions? Quote

So I guess I can continue to shit up your thread with more geo-engineering stuff. Works for me. That was your call Waldo, looks like you made the wrong one. I tried to reason with you, but there is no reasoning with you. You had the perfect chance too. I even extended the olive branch. You don't like olives I guess. Photosynthesis, you can't see the forest for the trees. Quote

GostHacked Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 as you said, does this really, really mean, "all bets are off?" Carry on! Actually I'll be the bigger man here and not shit up your thread any further. But please continue with the snide remarks and insults and name calling to other posters. Makes you look like a REAL man. Have fun. Quote

You dropped out of the blue into this thread to reply with this gem: I guess the bets are off Waldo. I tried to reason with you, I guess that's not how it will play out. if you can't stand up to criticism of your positions, if you can't accept challenges to your positions, perhaps a discussion board forum isn't the best vehicle for your preferred participation.

waldo Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 Interesting find, Lukin. I wonder why he hasn't responded to you yet? I have the lukin on ignore and have to force myself to actually look at his posts... sometimes I'll do it if I'm bored or he's actually solicited replies from others and I indirectly read the nonsense he's brought forward. since you're asking in your 3-way drive-by, there is no contradiction. The fake skeptic position of the NP/FP is well understood, well known... it's regular stable of charlatans and fake journalists is well recognized (we've had several detailed posts to that end within assorted MLW threads). On rare occasion, very rare occasion, the NP/FP will slide in an op-ed that counters its recognized fake skeptic position... if I like article and I can't find it published anywhere else, I have no qualms in referencing it.

sharkman Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) After reading your 'explanation' I have to agree, Waldo. Welcome to my ignore list. I've only done this one other time but I can't think of a better way to handle your nonsense. Edited March 5, 2012 by sharkman Quote
GostHacked Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 no insults were intended - none were provided. You dropped out of the blue into this thread to reply with this gem: Go back to page two. It's only out of the blue if you have not followed the thread at all. if you can't stand up to criticism of your positions, if you can't accept challenges to your positions, perhaps a discussion board forum isn't the best vehicle for your preferred participation. There is criticism then there is being a total ass about it. You fall into the later category. If this gets me a vacation from the site, that's fine. Quote

I welcome you availing yourself of a board feature... it will most certainly quell your thirst in attempting to marginalize me. Carry on. Quote
