Though, I wonder if you understand the meaning of the words "condescending" or "irrelevant" since most people who respond to your posts are these things, but miraculously, you, sir, never are. Or perhaps I don't understand the meanings of those words. Probably I'm just not as smart, experienced and insightful as you. Probably.
It's become increasingly obvious to me that I'm willing to give you more credit, treat you with the intelligence you deserve, and treat you with more respect than you will ever treat me. Fine. I don't need validation or respect from a message board. It's a shame, though, because I really do think you're a smart guy. I really do think you bring a lot of value to the board.
No matter what I say you will dismiss it. Always. I will continue to be fallacious, or condescending, or irrelevant, or any of your other favorite labels. So I'll spare you.
I retract the last paragraph of my previous post.
We saw different films.

Favorite labels? How about words whose definitions match the situation. Also, I don't know where this idea came from that, suddenly, I'm infallible or something. Moreover, that line about me miraculously not being irrelevant or condescending doesn't make sense to me because I was not being either of those things with you. I was certainly snippy. Curt. A dick. But not condescending. Condescending was you giving me a rudimentary social studies lesson about race and behavior as if I were a child, and even worse, that lesson didn't address
the film. You got onto me about burden of proof, which is well and good, so I provided numerous examples. You then gave me this lesson (when you weren't providing unsupported claims about the film).
If you want me to apologize for my tone towards you I will. I think you'd have realized by now with me that when I'm a dick to people it isn't personal.
