What? Are you telling me that quantity of communication and communication style are the same? If you are, then I don't really have anything more to say, because Aech is right and you are hopeless.

Functionally, there isn't much of a difference between saying five things unrelated to a subject and refusing to speak on the suject. Which is exactly why I'm saying that you criticising them for their "style" of arguement is hypocritical considering your own involved redirecting towards legal means of removing you. This is, naturally, not a discussion.

And again, you redirect to a legal means, when the MoJ should be capable of having a single debate without pointing towards the law to remove them. I don't believe official action is warrented, but pointing out the fact that your own style of debate is -if anything- slightly worse than what I've seen of theirs is quite OK.

Honestly, if anything they actually did communicate with Voters, criticising your choice to remove United Kingdoms without a visable warning, they might not have campaigned, but that seems to have not been needed regrettably.

I honestly didn't read this part of your post. I'm just going to encourage you to vote your conscience, as I vote mine.

So you didn't read my post...but are going to interpret the first line anyway without any context?

Also great non-answer, really hoping our future MoJ does good with actually talking to us.

No, I didn't bother reading it. Honestly, it would be a waste of time. You are so eager to reject basis logic and semantics, that I don't think anyone, no matter how eloquent, could get you to admit you are wrong.

Congrats on ad hominem attacks, but they need work.

What'll especially need work is actually responding to my points rather than just calling yourself intelligent, but I figure you'll probably just ignore that bit.

Well, there's been plenty of times from Peng, Sul, Bax, Merc and Unf that I've lost count, but maybe.

I mean, none of them were trying to support a hypocritical point by ignoring the other person's statements, but hey, clearly if two people who just admitted to not reading posts can't it might as well be impossible, eh?

It's not an ad hominem if it's true. Your sentence structure and writing is so poor it's infuriating. You just drop a wall of typo-ridden run-on sentences that barely make sense. I can't respond to your points because you don't actually make any.

No, it's not.

Even if you could factually prove that I ain't an idiot, you still are using an attack on me rather than my position.

Yes, there's a difference between offering an unsound premise and literally being unable to communicate in a productive way. One can be corrected, and the other can't.

Game theory with Professor Fries. We had to create a Cournot competition with eclairs and scones.

Basically yes. Everything just squishes around to make room. Then the failing kidney shrivels up and is absorbed by the body.

It's ok. There's a lot of references to it in film and television, so its probably good to see it just to be able to recognize the allusions when you see them.

Not necessarily, though I wouldn't mind working in the International Criminal Court in some way. Though criminology is definitely not prerequisite to work in such an organization, I'd much rather have it than not. International Law fits into it for relatively obvious reasons.

There was already a #1 engine when I arrived here; his name is Thomas, and he's my best friend. Engines don't usually change their number, so when I became King, I stayed #6, and Thomas stayed #1. Besides, I like being #6, and I couldn't imagine myself being any other number.
