I don’t know why I always have to break these things down for you, Use of Time?!?
Perhaps you should change your name to Takes My Time being how you just beg for me to nail you to the wall and expose your arguments for what they really are before you’ll be satisfied. Now, pay attention Use of Time because my time is limited towards its use to have to spell these things out for you.
In reply to the Left’s argument I said:
“Don't you know, Trump talked naughty in private before he ever even ran for a public office so that logically justifies this type of language in public.”
To which you replied:
“Nice spin!”
Now, there is a couple of ways I could take that:
(1) As your sincere compliment meaning I laid out the argument in an organized and logical manner. (Of course we know that ain’t gonna come out of your mouth.)
Or
(2) As your suggestion meaning that I did “Spin a Story”, defined as: “To tell a lie or only part of the truth in order to convince someone of something or to avoid the consequences of something.”
Now, knowing your background here and sentiments I think the meaning of your post is pretty clear, don’t you? It’s okay, you can admit it, …we all know the truth here anyway.
So… taking for granted that your “compliment” was in reference to #(2) I replied, and forgive me for the dry humor sarcasm,
I said:
“Sorry to destroy your best argument. “
To which you replied:
“Considering I haven’t posted an argument in this thread that is pretty impressive. Do you always destroy imaginary arguments and declare victory.”
Well, I guess this needs to be spelled out too, it should go without saying that you didn’t make the Left’s argument yourself but rather were defending it by going on the offense with #(2) towards my argument.
But, since you seemed to be wondering how I came to my conclusion that it must have been your argument – without you actually saying it or admitting it, …
I spelled out the simple reasoning for you of how I arrived to this conclusion:
“Well, being you have complimented me for my "nice spin" I could only assume that what I "spun" was an argument that I could be pretty sure was more than imaginary considering there must be an object to what you complimented me on to which you considered to be a spin.”
I guess I can't blame you for ignoring that I confirmed your belief that I am "
pretty impressive" to have figured out where you coming form.
On a side note, just so you know, I also gave you the benefit of the doubt that on your take you could have meant “Nice Spin’ as a sincere compliment and actually agreed with my argument rather than trying inject #(2) into the discussion.
So I generously offered you an out when I said:
“But, of course if you'd like to agree with me that the Left's argument was fallaciously made while attempting to rest on that 2 wrongs makes a right and not even a good comparison considering the private vs public factor I'll accept that you are in disagreement with your team on this one. No problem.”
But, apparently you didn't want to take me up on this out nor did you actually man up to being on other side of this argument
.
Well, there you go bud,
let it never be said that I am not a patient man with those who only wish to be obstinate and try to argue in circles to avoid facing the logical music about what they are actually saying and meaning, yes, the truth is
