   No problem.  99.9% of the time, usenet me2 geeks like you are full of $hit,   
   and the fact that you simply repeat the failed arguments of a troll clearly   
   show what side of the percentage you're on.   
      
   On another note, you have absolutely no idea what your'e talking about.  I   
   did support my statement very concisely had you taken the time to read all   
   of the thread rather than just making a half-baked response.

   While I'm sure you're quite skilled at debating 'serious' issues, like what   
   corner of the universe Dr. Who's latest sidekick is from, you're seriously   
   out of your league if you want to tangle with me, sonny.  I will give you a   
   piece of advice.  If you want to pass yourself off as an expert on   
   "debates", it might not be a good idea to include a fallacious analogy in   
   the same message.  It only makes you look that much more like an idiot,   
   which in your case is truly saying something.
