Are you trying to say that I said you "switched tune"? Where ah?Originally posted by Gedanken:I switched my tune? All this time I'd disagreed with your proposition that one had to be a god to judge, so how can my mention of judges be a switch of tune?
You are the one who started off with "you have to be a god" and then switched tunes and added "if you're not a judge". Then again, the way you keep tripping over yourself, I don't expect you to see that you're the one who's switched tunes, much less admit that you're trying to pass off your mistake as mine.
If you cannot even understand simple posts... is it any wonder that you are constantly confused?
or
I know that it is probably a very difficult thing for you to do but please try to be honest, at least with yourself. -

or you were just lying? -
What is the logical basis? Just because you win, the thread must close and I am lying? *yawnz* After so many exhortations to be logical and make good /valid arguments you still come along and post gibberish...Originally posted by Space1999:you say many time we win we win,,,,

So what did you mean by this:Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:Are you trying to say that I said you "switched tune"? Where ah?
You want to convince people you can write a book when you don't even know what you've written in a simple post? What a joke.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap (03 July 2007 · 11:33 AM):You are the one that brought up the issue of the judges, remember?

(you switched your tune to add the "If you're not a judge" ) is a quote that I took from your post and that is why I put it in brackets ( ) and I asked you "What ( )"
When did I say you switched tunes? I was asking you why YOU say (you switched your tune to add the "If you're not a judge" ) when it was YOU that brought up the issue with judges.
see your own post at 03 July 2007 · 11:28 AM
and let us see me quote your post and my reply at 03 July 2007 · 11:33 AMOriginally posted by Gedanken:You think that rhetorical questions are your escape clause for worming out of answering the question?
I'll say it again, not because I hope that you'll finally understand it but to highlight what you're trying to worm your way out of. Your first stand was categorically that you had to be a god to set the standards and be the authority. Without explanation, you switched your tune to add the "If you're not a judge" bit. That's not a clarification - that's just trying to sweep your mistake under the carpet.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap: "Lose the argument and then resort to name calling and wild accusations... like: "you're trying to worm your way out of"
I am so glad you said this: "You want to convince people you can write a book when you don't even know what you've written in a simple post? " I would be most embarrassed to have someone like you recommending me. It would be like having a retarded idiot going around telling people how smart he thinks I am. Or having a suicide bomber telling everyone I am his friend.
You are the one that brought up the issue of the judges, remember? What (you switched your tune to add the "If you're not a judge" )

You seem capable of understanding what you chose to understand. So which is it? Are you an escapee from the mental institution or are you a congenital liar or are you just simply grossly stupid despite your ability to write in English?
I am giving you a chance to clarify yourself... -
fight! fight! fight!

I don't think you're ever going to have to worry about me recommending you to anyone. Talk about being out of touch with reality.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:I am so glad you said this: "You want to convince people you can write a book when you don't even know what you've written in a simple post?

Ah, so that "what" with parentheses was supposed to be a quote? You do know what inverted commas were invented for, don't you, Mr Self-Proclaimed Author?
Okay, let me clarify and educate you at the same time, since you asked for the former and are in dire need of the latter. If you wish to quote someone, you don't use parentheses. Parentheses are used to denote interruptions in a sentence, represent options and enclose numerals in a multi-point passage. Quotes are enclosed by inverted commas. That's why inverted commas are also called quotation marks - duh!
Now if that's not clear enough for you, I suggest you go back to school and take the English lessons that you slept through. Jeezus, if you write like this, your book must be written in crayon.
You sure took your time to answer - what happened, did the boss just finish chewing you out for loafing on the job, or did you just take a couple of hours trying to imagine the impossible scenario of me recommending you for anything? -
Double post.

Crap! hahaha my "boss"? Do you know my definition of "boss"? Did you bother to clarify? Do you know what I do? hahaha delusional to the max...
Teach me how to quote and you have no idea what you wrote?
*yawnz* pwned again... -
Oooh, what a clever answer.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:Crap!
You asked for clarification, and I gave it, which is more than you've done. Then again, if you ever undertook to even attempt at clarifying anything you've written, you might just end up hanging yourself with all of your U-turns. -
*wondering if I should pawn him again for his boss comment, after I pawn him for the What ( ) comment, nah its a waste of time pawning congenital liars*Originally posted by Gedanken:Oooh, what a clever answer.

Yeah, I'll teach you how to quote because you obviously don't know how to do it right.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:Crap! hahaha my "boss"? Do you know my definition of "boss"? Did you bother to clarify? Do you know what I do? hahaha delusional to the max...

*yawnz* pwned again...
Now what hallucinogenic substance makes you imagine that I'd care what you do? Whatever it is, from the looks of how you do things here, you obviously do that very badly too. I'm sure your definition of boss works perfectly in whatever imaginary world you live in (How are your book sales going in that world anyway? got your make-believe Pulitzer yet? ), so please spare me another one of your demented theories. -
hahaha when people put your own quote in bracketsOriginally posted by Gedanken:Ah, so that "what" with parentheses was supposed to be a quote? You do know what inverted commas were invented for, don't you, Mr Self-Proclaimed Author?
"Brackets are punctuation marks used in pairs to set apart or interject text within other text."
you are lost? hahahaha you do not recognise your own quote and you have the cheek to say:
"You want to convince people you can write a book when you don't even know what you've written in a simple post? What a joke." -
Son, if you call that pwned, your standards severely low.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:*wondering if I should pawn him again for his boss comment, after I pawn him for the What ( ) comment, nah its a waste of time pawning congenital liars*
*yawnz*
Oh, wait - your low standards are already painfully obvious.
So come on, dig up some "formal language" argument about how parentheses instead of inverted commas can be used as quotation marks. I'm sure it'll be entertaining. -
What a joke indeed.... ROFLMAO

Ah, here we go again, telling half the story like you do when equating good arguments with valid ones.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:"Brackets are punctuation marks used in pairs to set apart or interject text within other text."
The rest of the rules of use of parentheses are that the text that is set apart is either:
1) an aside, e.g. "The (very) fat man sat on the chair and broke it"; or
2) additional information, e.g. "55% of soft-drink buyers purchased pepsi (based on a sample of 150); or
3) options, e.g. "The person(s) signing the contract must have a witness present at the time of signing"
That's it. No quotes. Listen carefully and learn: quotation marks are for quotes.
By the way, the text enclosed in parentheses are an addendum to a sentence. Your sentence in the case in question was one word: "what". Nice going, Shakespeare.
You obviously didn't read the defintions of the text in question, but then again, that's your slipshod way of doing things. -

Well, well, well, this just keeps getting better and better.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:pawned with your own words: "you don't even know what you've written in a simple post? What a joke"
What a joke!
My question "you don't even know what you've written in a simple post?" was based on the (now proven to be mistaken) assumption that you knew what parentheses are for. In this you have my deepest and most heartfelt apologies - I didn't realise that your lack of writing skills was so profound.
In addressing this, you've highlighted your lack of simple knowledge of what parentheses are for, and your ignorance of things as prosaic as inverted commas.
In other words, while trying to get out of looking stupid one way, you've gone and made yourself look stupid in a whole new way. To compound things, you don't even see how you've just pwned yourself, just gleefully adding to the depths of your stupidity.
Okay, come on, game's over. Own up - you're actually a comedian, aren't you? Nobody could possibly be this stupid. -
