What credit should we give to his arguments when he appears not to understand the logical structure of debate?

His error meant that I had to 'infer' (or guess) what he really meant - not too difficult, but we really shouldn't have to do this for native speakers.

I also think his points are garbage, as I pointed out earlier - that will tend to make me less tolerant.

Finally, someone labelling themselves a 'writer' should be able to recognise their linguistic mistakes when they are pointed out, rather than suggest that the other person is in error.
Jesus, you're like a dog with a hard on. Just give it up. Inferred, implied, who really gives a fuck. It's just words Mr Seagulls, I never meant you any harm.

You think my points are garbage, that's fine. They probably are. I'll have a wank and sleep soundly.

Personally I think you're a little bitter. It's hardly my fault your thread about gun jumping or whatever it was, was a bit too inside for the rest of the board.
