You don't like the French, right?
But Stella is made by the French, right?
Posted by Brock, 08:56, 23rd June 2004:
 
Belgians, toss-piece. They are like French people, but more boring and less smelly and arrogant...
Posted by Grim..., 08:58, 23rd June 2004:
 
Oh yeah.

Never mind, then.
Posted by Brock, 09:02, 23rd June 2004:
 
Could be worse, you could have created an entire new thread to make yourself look a fuckwit with that ill-informed mistake, eh?

Close shave, Grim...

Or I could have got something completely wrong and gone all ad hominem on the person that was correct, right Brockie?

Poor Grim... I'd rather drink bleach than French beer. Not because I hate the French so much as the fact that bleach doesnt have that terrible aftertaste that all French lagers seem to.
Posted by Grim..., 14:38, 23rd June 2004:
 
I'd imagine that bleach has a pretty nasty aftertase of it's own...
Posted by Sul, 14:43, 23rd June 2004:
 
It's minimal compared to French lager.
Posted by Saltation, 18:11, 23rd June 2004:
 
french lager turns your whites puce, too

Actually, Grim..., I proved your point wrong with hard facts. I then called you a prick, because you refused to accept being wrong and attempted to change the original argument to try and worm out of it. That's altogether different from ad hominem, my old china...

;)

What? Grim refused to accept being wrong and attempted to change the original arguement to try and worm out of it?

Well i never.
Posted by Brock, 23:40, 23rd June 2004:
 
Hard to believe, I know. Must have been an isolated incident.

(Isolated to every argument he participates in, obviously).

You know, you still haven't found a thread where I did this.
Posted by Brock, 09:35, 24th June 2004:
 
We found a few between us, but you refused to acknowledge or recognise that you did it despite this. So we got bored of you saying "No I didn't" as your sole defense, so we left it alone.

Bless.

/rests case
Posted by Grim..., 09:47, 24th June 2004:
 
Let me try for you.
I think you've accused me of doing it twice (which is obviously all the time).

One was in the mirror / candle thread, where I attempted to prove the theory using a thought experiment.
Obviously, being a thought experiment, every part of the original problem was simplified to make it easier to understand.
Of course, the theory remained the same, and could also be proved in a mirror / candle case, as long as everybody had a spare few hours, a calculator, an A-Level in Math's and a Masters in Physics.
And, of course, I was right, not wrong =]

The other was the world travelling thread, where I said something, then in my very next post came back and said why I thought that, but, of course, that was me 'changing the original argument'.

Perhaps I should mention the Mastermind thread, where I didn't make my question specific enough. Abe pointed out that I was changing my question, and he was right, so I let him have the Mastermind chair (in which he promptly cheated).
But that was my fault for not being specific enough.

You'll also find a lot of cases where I am told I am wrong, and I agree.
Like the start of this thread, for instance.

there was the jimmy hill big nose thread too.

it's odd that a number of people can all see you doing this and that not one person has come to your defense to state that you're not continually changing your arguement..

my what a good idea for a poll...
Posted by Grim..., 09:55, 24th June 2004:
 
Oh yeah, Jimmy Hill, where the black man came along and agreed about the use of certain words, and the thread instantly died.
Posted by Grim..., 09:58, 24th June 2004:
 
Poll away.

jeff: Due to the fact that he always defaults to SWERVE if there is the slightest bit of ambiguity, and seems physically incapable of focussing on the parts of the argument we mean, I have to assume this will continue to be an issue where Grim... just sees the world in a completely different way to everyone else..

Tired now. This argument feels like trying to walk through 3 foot of treacle.

:)

Just like the start of this thread, you mean?

As opposed to the actual argument, you mean?

I'd eat the treacle =]
Posted by Brock, 11:11, 24th June 2004:
 
Any ambiguity at the start of this thread was there? Thought not. Classic example of Grim-focus, thank you. Totally missing the point and selectively reading to try and prove a different one.

And the actual argument is generally the bit that we are referring to, just not the bit that you've tried to twist it into later on when you realise you're wrong...

Fuck-monkey.

;)
Posted by Grim..., 11:26, 24th June 2004:
 
/looks up ambiguity...

Ah-ha =]
I thought it meant 'wrong-ness' - how ironic...
Posted by Grim..., 11:27, 24th June 2004:

That's kind of the point, I don't do that.

Anyway, this is fucking boring.
Posted by Grim..., 11:31, 24th June 2004:
 
Hang on, woah - I've just realised something.

Brock, have you got an email address?
Or could you send me an email so I can send you something if you don't want to post it (obviously, the fan-mail would clog your box up =])?
Posted by Brock, 11:31, 24th June 2004:

Losing gets on my tits, too. At least we have one thing in common...

:D

So you lost...

Tired now. This argument feels like trying to walk through 3 foot of treacle.

Right back there?
Posted by Brock, 12:13, 24th June 2004:
 
That was me being tired of hitting my head against a brick wall by attempting to get you to see the point. It wasn't a reference to losing, just a lack of progress.
Posted by Brock, 12:16, 24th June 2004:
 
Easy mistake to make, though, nob-rot. Every night "it gets on my tits", and I have to sleep for 8 hours to get it off again...

Oh no. Actually when I think about it, I realise that irritation and fatigue are completely different!

Spaz. Joey Deacon. 'Special' boy.

leave joey out of this brock...
Posted by Brock, 13:20, 24th June 2004:
 
Is he a relative of yours then, jeff?
Posted by jeff, 13:43, 24th June 2004:
 
he's your mum

So not a bit like incorrectness and boredom, then...
Posted by Brock, 13:47, 24th June 2004:
 
"he's your mum"

Fuck, that made me laugh.

:D
Posted by Brock, 13:48, 24th June 2004:
 
Not a bit like incorrectedness, Grim..., no.

For that is not a word. Buy a dictionary, or just stick a couple of on-line ones in your favourites like me and Alfie do...

GRIM IS A BIG FAT CUNT!!!!

Um... Incorrectness.

Where did you get the 'ed' from?
