Well, we win with stupid people like you, so I guess we're pretty good, huh?

I disagree.

Firstly, you tried to subtly put in an ad hominem attack and failed by sounding pedantic in making such an unusual sentence structure.

It's amazing how smart you're trying to sound. It's obvious what you're doing, because I've seen it done far too many times by "wise" guys like you. No one talks like that in real life, and if they do, they're just trying to be condescending.

Being a quality poster is definitely not equivalent to being mildly intelligent. An intelligent person can come on here, shitpost, and enjoy the spectacle of you having a tempertantrum over people either dissing your friends or taking over a piddly thread.

That's the path I chose.

Very funny how you talk about condescending people, pretending to act smart, and how people don't talk like this in real life, while throwing in the impressive oxford dictionary volume 4 words into every sentence.
You three are guaranteed life/social rejects that bonded together and try to increase your self esteem by studying dictionaries and hopping onto minecraft servers where you know there's young people and so, "easy prey."
It's pretty obvious what your goal is, and it's also pretty pathetic.

I'd say that too if I randomly started flaming someone and then preached about how I didn't want this thread to turn into flaming.

Please tell me reasonably as to why there is a flaw in my reasoning that I don't want a thread from a friend of mine turn into endless flame. I'm willing to listen, but clearly you aren't.

Don't attack my character. Don't attack who I am. Don't attack my phrasing. Attack my argument.

I agree about the easy prey part and the young part but I'm gonna have to disagree with the rest

Metarus is eating out of our hands.

He just can't help himself. He claims to be so mature, yet he can't even resist the temptation to talk to us.

He's hooked; he's addicted; he's our fan.

LordBowser's grammar/sentence structure sounds very natural, whereas I too got the vibe that Metarus was trying very hard with that post. When you break it down, it was basically gibberish with no substance.

No one here is studying a dictionary, lol. Good vocabulary is learned without effort as a result of studying other subjects in school. You'll see when you get older. Maybe.

We don't need to try and increase our self-esteem. If we did, we would change our names and skins to try and attract the opposite gender.

If you didn't want the thread to turn into an endless flame, then you wouldn't have randomly told SuperNeil64 to "Please leave." It's as simple as that. Don't start fights if you don't want there to be fights.

impressive comeback

Let's begin by asking you which of the words there do you consider to be beyond you? Perhaps "ad hominem," but I really can't see what other words would give you difficulty…

Is English not your first language? Are you younger than ten? Has the education system failed you?

If there are some words that you need help with, just ask. I'm very helpful, and I won't hold it against you.

You argument was that you didn't want the thread to be a flame, and my argument is that this is hypocritical, since you started the flaming to begin with. It was a logical response and not at all a personal one.

It's reasonable to think that you wouldn't want your friend's post to go down in flames. I understand.

However, you're not living up to the example you're so keen on instilling in us: to let things go and show restraint.

You keep responding on this post despite knowing that it would all die down if you would just stop responding. Instead, you're just quoting our posts, bolding the words you want answered, and continuing the provocation.

Just let it go!

No, you were attacking my methodology, not my argument.
