You got an education there. It may last all of 30 minutes, but you learned something.
Just be happy with that and move on. Quit your whining and foot stomping over the fact that you were corrected, and you didn't take it gracefully...



blah, blah, blah...

Still pissed off that you got corrected? Don't like that you get told that you were wrong?
Keep venting. Maybe you'll work your way out of this tantrum.

And when you finally realize that you were COMPLETELY and INCONSOLABLY wrong on the issue, you claim "I'll have to let you have that one."???

You have no choice.
You were utterly and completely wrong.
There is no "letting" me have something that you lost so completely.

And as for "ass handed", if you would actually argue a point instead of trying to obfuscate and change the subject, you would realize how pathetic your performance has been.

I think you're feeling good about yourself because it's better than most days that you get stomped, but getting beaten by 30 points as opposed to getting beaten by 60 points is still losing...

You can't answer it with a true or false can you. Case closed.

2) You HAVE NO CLUE as to my opinion on this subject, do you...

I mean my gawd. I've been discussing it a little bit here with Jefferson, and you should have gotten some clue from that.

But you just blindly assume that I support this wing-nut because you have labelled me as "liberal" in your head, haven't you...

Do yourself a favor, go back and read my comments on this subject which haven't centered around trying to get you to realize one simple fact about the military.
Then try THINKING about it.
Then get back to me...

During that time, I made my position on the general issue fairly clear.
And then when you realized what I was saying about "commission vs enlist", you tried to pick a fight on an issue that I don't think we have any serious disagreement on.

But please. YOU should continue to try to make this about me...

This is the commonly used terminology and what it means. In fact, if you had said such a thing around most enlisted personnel, you would have probably gotten some snide remark similar to "Don't call me sir. I work for a living..."
Officers are not "enlisted personnel". The ramifications of that statement previously didn't completely register for you.
Now, hopefully, they do more completely.

2) My GAWD you're a hoot!
I AM NOT making this an "issue".
I have told you REPEATEDLY that this is not an issue.
YOU are the one who wants to make me correcting you an "issue" when it's not.
I don't know why. Perhaps you just NEED to argue about something, regardless of how inane and pointless it is...



I didn't "pick a fight" on anything silly man.
I corrected you on terminology. That's it.
And now YOU are trying to make my "correction" of your terminology into a "fight".
I don't think it was a "fight", except for the fact that you resisted being corrected.



Do you understand that this is not in dispute?

People would think you could at least acknowledge how much in agreement on this issue we are, but you can't even do THAT gracefully.
Instead, you just want to fight over who is "fighting" here.

Unbelievable!
