37. Disappeared!
Which tells me, there ARE no real facts to back up his opinion.

As the saying goes, "You are entitled to your opinion. You are NOT entitled to your facts!"

8. Well, I'm happy to say that other folks in GD
are questioning my "drive by insulter" on the insurance thread. Asking where the facts to back up his/her assertion that people with bad credit scores are bad drivers. No response yet.

And thanks Kitchey! :hug:

10. well, if your posts were just a little less interesting
and didn't show that you actually have a personality and a sense of humor,

maybe you wouldn't have this problem . . .

Some are so damned snarky and spoiling for argument that I wonder whose side they are on.

21. It's the drive-by snarks and insults that really bother me.
However, I call them out, ask them to back up what they are saying, and 9 times out of 10, they don't respond.

24. Yeah, but that's not very satisfying
One might assume they won the argument by TKO (opponent didn't come out at the bell), but, damn — I love getting 'em to admit I have a point.

But then, I wonder — am I too focused on winning the argument? :shrug:

26. Well, I do wish they would respond, back up what they're saying
But, so often they don't. Probably because they can't.

28. I don't really even mind being proven wrong
As long as it's done with facts and/or logic and without snark.

29. Exactly!
I told the drive-by snarker to please refer me to information regarding his/her assertion that people with bad credit ARE bad drivers, and said that I would read it with an open mind, which I would. Still nothing.

38. Gee, Rex, I find it far more satisfying...
MM... when those who are listening to these cranio-rectoids see them for the fools they are, and have their minds opened... not just to the facts of the argument, but (IMO far more important) to the fact that there really are people who PRETEND to be "us" who are either a) deceivers, or b) fools...

MMDiscrediting a fool, or discrediting (and unmasking) a fraud, are even more satisfying to me than making/proving my point, or even getting my opponent to concede my point.,, and trust me: I LOVE to win a debate!

22. You were instructed to be terrified, depressed and dour.
Why can't you ever just be what you're told to be? Are you AFRAID of a darkly moody, brooding sense of constant, shattering doom?

The ol' "poor equals dangerous and/or undeisrable" assertion doesn't impress me.

27. Me either. Plus, it doesn't hold water.
It is becoming more and more apparent that a person's worth in this country is based on their credit score and their bank account, NOT on their character.

31. I would bet almost anything
that young Laura Bush had full-coverage insurance when she struck and killed one of her high school classmates many years ago. I bet Dick Cheney had full-coverage insurance when he got his two DUIs. If I had an hour to google around, I could probably come up with many, many more examples to shoot Mr. "Poor equals Dangerous" right out of the water. :grr:

30. Damn!
One of the things I've learned by reading GD: take everyone seriously, because the internet is serious and by gawd so is GD.

I rarely post in there... and when I do it's usually drug threads. :).
