How can we 'punch his lights out' when we 'shouldn't be pontificating on subjects you have no business expounding on'?
Anyway all the clues are there if he is clever enough to understand, you cannot spoonfeed an intelligent adult as much as you might like to......or it tends to get their back up, which is counter productive.
You of all people should know that.....boom boom.

If you think you're going to change TD? Yes, I agree that's a nonproductive exercise and a waste of time. He obviously is convinced by the right wing information he reads and wants all that to be true. Otherwise, he'd be critical minded of it and do research instead of just swallow and regurgitate what he reads. That's a common denominator of the tea bag mindset, apparently.

It hadn't up until you posted that, if you'll excuse me offering an opinion on the matter. It was quite genial up till then. Not sure what three you are feferrong to but who are you pontificate - to tell someone they have no business expounding on subjects they find interesting? We all live in free countries not least because the authority of the pontiff has been thoroughly rejected, but that's a different debate perhaps., but also because of an innate desire and willingness to tell any person that says we have no right to voice an opinion exactly what they can go away and do.
If someone doesn't agree with you it doesn't make them idiots - could be they are ill-informed or quite simply hold to a belief that in your opinion does not stand up to close examination but if they were idiots it's unlikely they would be able to read and write and even less likely to be on a forum like this.

Why pick in TD? a case pot kettle black calling (rearrange as you see fit). I disagree with most of what TD says but the more I read his posts the more I have to organise my own thoughts to put a coherent argument, whatever else he might be he's not an idiot. Not sure about you (:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl sorry couldn't resist) It's boring talking to people who share your own opinions - discord and discourse that's the meat and two veg of the intellect.

What you mean is you can't come up with a reasonable counter argument and present it in a manner that makes your point well. That's OK though I often have the same problem.

Not a single one of you have made a valid argument worth countering. The three of you are talking out your hats.

If you keep throwing the dummy out the pram after a while people just stop picking it up. Basically you're talking a load of bollocks and seem to be incapable of civil discourse. I'm sorry you feel we are not your intellectual equals but it's rather hard to come down to your level.
