Sleep with the Hires timer

In fact they do!

JBanes, I’m surprised at you.

The only conclusion I can come to then, is that you don’t realize how your words are seen by others.

That seems to be the likely case.

Your words

What insinuation? Saying that I don’t like spin-loops needlessly eating up my precious cpu cycles? That’s what I see there. It’s more than an insinuation, it’s out right blatant - as I intended it to be. Perhaps instead of “people like you”, I should have said “statements like that”.

Your words

I find that sarcasm is often an effective means to convey a point across, just like exaggeration of a point to ludicrousness. I try to use the “” tag to cue people in to my intent. (Seeing as how text is a poor medium for that).

Try this:

I know I don’t agree with Cas. I’d be lying if I pretended I didn’t.

Now compare that with this:

I’m not interested in asking that question - rather my goal was to state a more correct fact.

You really do owe Cas an apology.

I don’t think so - Like I said before, I never intended to attack his character - only his advice. I’m sorry if you or he find that offensive, but that has always been “fair game” in my book. (Attack someone’s methods, not their person).

As for my “quit your whining”, I heard that myself growing up and I’m thankful for that. (Kept me in line.) I’m sorry if you find that offensive.

Yep. That’s offensive. You’ve stated nothing of fact, and you’ve disparaged my character. That pretty much sums up half of what you’ve written in this thread.

Now for your arguments. I’m afraid that I will no longer discuss them here. This board has seen enough harsh words. To continue would only stray from the topic. I again invite you to use the private message feature if you wish to continue. We can then return to the main forum later as civilized individuals.

Discussion usually stays civilized when you stick to the facts. That’s always been my goal. I’ll try to make an effort to guard against inflammatory language.

You know you’ve lost an argument when you bring God in to fight it for you.

Well, considering that JBanes first stated that he was certainly turning the other cheek and quoted Matthew 5:39, a Bible verse about “turning the other cheek”, (which you can’t see now, because he has since changed his signature), I guess it’s pretty safe to conclude who felt it necessary draw attention away from the facts.

The preview button seems to be screwed up on the forum. At least when I use Mozilla, it saves the post instead of previewing, wreaking havoc for me.

Ah, well you can disagree with me all you like, it won’t make you right :-*

Let me know when you’ve finished your first game…
Cas :slight_smile:

it won’t make you right

No, but facts do.

Let me know when you’ve finished your first game…

Will do.
