I've said multiple times how impressed I am with Xo, trying to not only defend the indefensible, but having no one to help.  I don't think we're trying to have him be some 3rd party fact checker.  I think what gets him, or anyone in trouble for that matter, is to be so demonstrative in some accusation, yet spend no time what-so-ever to back it up.  It's merely a request to fact check his own stuff....at least some of the time.  Whether its some meritless accusation of me or another conservative as being racist, or when presented facts that refute one of his wreckless claims, for him to use facts and/or evidence to substantiate his side.  That would be a good start.

So what "we" can do, is to encourage that.  Obviously you and Bt can do it better than I, as I've lost all patience in trying to illicit some factual back-up on his part, so I'm just highlighting his lack of effort now, for the most part

I told you, sirs, that it is impossible to debate with you about anything. You are some sort of sicko ego trip for God knows what reason and your mental problem is not my concern.

I write only what I feel like writing. I am totally uninterested in being the foil for some self-deluded popinjay that wears his ignorance like the Red Badge of Courage.

Plane is an interesting person. You are a crashing bore.

[sirs]

It's "obvious" you write what you "feel" like writing.  99.9% of the time your accusaions and claims are baseless & wrong, because you never back them up.  Perfect example that of calling me or Cu4 racists, in the absence of anything that would even remotely make such a connection.  Your say so has squat credibility. 

If you spent even half the energy you spend trying to ridicule and call me all kind of grade-school names, in supporting your own positions, you could actually be taken somewhat seriously as a debater.  As it is currently, you come across as some hard core blinded cool-aide drinking Obama partisan hack, where he walks on water and can do no wrong.  Unless of course its not being socialist and non-compromising enough

And for the record, you haven't even TRIED to debate me, so the bogus claim you can't is just that, wrong, yet again

[Xavier_Onassis]

I am not even going to debate you on whether I can debate you or not. Go bore someone else.

See what I mean?  Thank you for reinforcing precisely the point I had made.  Linguistic laziness in a language professor??  How ironic

[Xavier_Onassis]

Y A W N!

[sirs]

LOL...see what I mean?  Yet again, another response to me, but is it in the effort of debate, a mode of trying to discuss an issue or point made?  If you spent even half the energy you spend trying to ridicule and call me all kind of grade-school names, in supporting your own positions, you could actually be taken somewhat seriously as a debater

What is interesting is that I agree with Sirs frequently , but I respond to XO much more frequently.

Is something wrong with me?

[sirs]

Not at all.  In fact, you're probably the sanest easiest person to read and respond to, here in the saloon, Plane
