Instead of just typing something and hitting the post button, think about what you've written for a moment. Reread it to see if its patently absurd, before you hit the post button.
I realize that you're probably just very young (assuming you're not older and just trolling.) Step back for a moment from everything you've been posting lately and ask yourself whether there is a better way to present your ideas. People can learn to be more persuasive; being persuasive isn't an inherent or accidental trait.

Trying to reason with spkr is pointless. He is immune to logic.
Just do what everyone else does and see how much you can rile him up in three sentences or less.
All you have to do is use "AV" "VEHICLE" and "BALANCE" in the same statement. |

All you have to do is use "AV" "VEHICLE" and "BALANCE" in the same statement. I forget sometimes that other players might be very young. Instead of insulting him, I'm inclined to help him rewrite his argument in a better form. But its hard to invest that kind of time in teaching someone something, if they show no sign of being willing to learn. How did you an I become capable users of language and logic? Someone taught us. Not everyone is old enough or has parents that can teach them to speak, write, and think well. Its not like we have public schools that excel at teaching these skills.
I sometimes fall into insulting or demeaning responses to people on the internet; I understand how easy that is. But when I'm conscious of it happening, I feel silly for letting someone who could be a six year old kid rouse me into insulting him. I should instead be explaining to him, "No, that's not how persuasion works; you have to be able to understand your audience's perspective rather than focusing on your own." |

Spkr isn't a kid. Kids can be taught.
Only adults are capable of his level of willful obstinance and antagonism and he has kept it up for what, two or three years now?
He's a troll or mildly autistic.
My money is on troll. I have worked with autistic people too often to peg him there. |
