Well, I do not agree with you at all on that. I always found Dirk to be, as I said before, a person who would engage in an intelligent debate... if YOU were prepared to do that with him. But if you wanted to act like a total asshat, he'd treat you as a total asshat. He didn't give the same level of respect to a moron as he'd give to someone who just happened to disagree with him, but was still trying to form a logical, rational argument counter to his own.
Think about it this way, here we have Sam Fisher. In all of my years on chat forums, I don't know that I've ever seen a bigger, more demanding attention whore whose lasted this long on a forum. Sorry if that seems insulting or cruel, but that's just my assessment of this name-changing, defective individual. Fisher claims that people pick on him because he is a (generic) "conservative (poor baby). But here's the rub with that false claim: I am more comfortable disagreeing with Dirk on the issue of gun control than I am agreeing with Fisher on that same issue. On the issue itself, I probably would be closer to Fisher's view. But the way that particular individual presents himself on here... I would prefer to engage in an intelligent debate with someone like Dirk than to waste my time (and my own self-respect) agreeing with a person like this "Sam Fisher" character.
There are other intelligent posters who no longer, or very seldom, post here now... like Jagger69. And not that I stalk them or anything, but I notice when they aren't here as much. At a certain point, even the amount of playful goofing around lessens and the fun goes away, because there is not just less intelligent discussion (or it's being drowned out by the asshats, retards and social misfits), there is almost NO intelligent discussion... even for a porn based board. Not to speak for her, but I think that's what Briana and others are talking about. Contrary to what some may think, it has nothing to do with being able to give & take. I'll match wits, win or lose, with most anyone. But why the hell would I waste time screaming at a barking dog? Do you know this old saying? "Argue with a fool long enough, and eventually, onlookers will not be able to tell which of you is the fool." IMO, Dirk has simply chosen to take a path that avoids any confusion.
