Quote:Surely this is human nature? Most people, if flatly contradicted, get defensive. It then turns into a matter of winning or losing, and people don't want to lose.But when you're defending a crackpot theory that's already been known to be false, it's simply pointless in my view. I mean, if I went around here posting something like "Hey guys, wear two condoms! You get double the protection," I can guarantee someone's going to say something. And if I said continued to say, "yes, it's true" mindlessly, how would that make me look?It would be fine if he kept all these ridiculous ideas to himself. If he wants to believe a banana is round, then fine. It just gets tiring when he posts these ideas (some of them even dangerous) around when some other gullible person is going to believe him. This just isn't the place for that and I can't stand it. Quote:If you've said what you have to say, and the other person hasn't accepted it, if you have no new points to make, just leave it. Other people will make their own judgement.That's fair enough. I'll try to take that into consideration, but please don't expect me to tolerate this guy more than I've already tried. I've made up my mind and it's staying that way. Quote:A lot of these arguments have been just flat assertions on both sides. After "'Tis!", "'Tisn't!", "'Tis!", "'Tisn't!" have been repeated several times it gets rather pointless. And worse, it deteriorates to name-calling, which Grown has avoided rather better than others. I beg to differ, but I'll leave it at that.

you say that you'd rather him believe his own beliefs and keep it off the board... but thats such an ignorant way of living a/your life. if i walked around thinking everything my momma said was true, and anything anyone else said was false, than i'd be stupid if my mom was putting false ideas into my head... reference to Water Boy, and See No Evil...ill say that 3 outta 4 things u guys say thats wroung that i said was right, and then u proved me wroung... i take that into consideration, and i typically change my mind about that topic and i listen to what you say...i do keep some of my beliefs, and just leave the arguement as is, like the girth arguement, as well as a few others, that i cannot recall cause its 1:00am and i am doing homework and my head hurts...
