Date: April 10th, 2012 8:32 PM Author: Cerebral Blue Stage I mean, it's not even that she's substantively wrong about anything, it's just the horrible way in which she argues for the stuff she thinks. everything's an insane non sequitur or an ad hominem of some sort, or an appeal to what "normal men" really think (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1920779&forum_id=2#20434972) |

|
Date: April 10th, 2012 8:45 PM Author: razzmatazz magical indian lodge The guy above is 100% correct about how you write and try to formulate arguments. It doesn't mean you're dumb per se, but you're not a clear thinker or very insightful, at least with regard to any topics you discuss on XO. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1920779&forum_id=2#20435079) |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 8:49 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state yes i tend to appeal to social norms rather than arguing in formal debate style the way most xoxo posters do. i treat the board as i would a conversation and most people irl don't nitpick the way people on xoxo do, and just accept/understand things in a way most xoxo posters dont
also i dont care about being considered smart here. i disagree with most people here on almost everything so i know its an uphill battle. and i dont spend a lot of time trying to make brilliant arguments or whatever. why do that when you can, like the above poster noted, use an ad hominem? lol
a lot of people on the board clearly care a lot about being considered smart by others, i dont so i guess this is why you find what i say lacking but that doesn't mean im not insightful irl |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 8:55 PM Author: razzmatazz magical indian lodge disagree on appealing to social norms vs. XO 'formal debate style' or whatever. XO doesn't adhere to any formal debate style, unless you're using that as a stand-in for 'coherent argument of the points.' like the guy said, you go full-speed into crazy personal attacks, assumptions and rarely include any substance. maybe that's a feature of all the time you spend arguing on here - you're not interested in making a point, just going back-and-forth.
i also disagree that you appeal to social norms that XO can't understand. you seem glued to the notion that this board is full of extremely bizarre people, but the label seems to be conveniently applied to people who happen to disagree with you (e.g. me in about 2 minutes after you read this).
you're also creating a false dichotomy here. nobody insists that you make "brilliant arguments" on XO. i think the point from the guy above is that for a person who is smart on paper, most of your 'arguments' on XO are borderline retarded, or, as he said, aren't really arguments at all - they're just name-calling and weird assumptions.

|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:05 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state xoxo posters are mostly lawyers and as such are really concerned with detail and proving things concretely.
you're going to dislike this argument, but most conversations irl aren't so concerned with minutiae and proof. and saying things like "most people think X, Y or Z" isn't seen as stupid the way it is on xoxo. xoxo posters don't really like any argument that can't be proved with a link or something, some things are just so and most people just accept that they are. i think this is why i am frustrated on here a lot.
like i said i think of xoxo more as a conversation than a debate and irl conversations you're not constantly being challenged over small points or bitched at for things that aren't really proper debate style but are understood by most people (such as ad hominems). i dont put a lot of effort or thought into things i post here so if its easier to respond with an ad hominem or something thats what ill do. everyone irl understands me well enough. if i'm writing a paper or discussing something academic that deserves serious attention i write differently.
to me, xoxo is like a conversation in passing with a friend. no ones going to say "omg thats a non sequitur what's wrong with you?" or "your appeal to social norms is unfounded! how do you know that most guys wouldn't reject a girl for being 1 year above his cutoff?!?!?" a lot of other posters seem to think of it as a debating contest or academic forum. |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:10 PM Author: Cerebral Blue Stage well if you say "most white guys like kim kardahian," it is seen as stupid off xoxo. it's all about how realistic or ridiculous your claims are about what most ppl think.

|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:18 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state yes but i never say false things like that
|
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:20 PM Author: Cerebral Blue Stage feel like you've said that very thing, or something like "all the guys I know would really like to fuck kim kardashian" (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1920779&forum_id=2#20435415) |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:21 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state yes that is true
how is that the same thing as saying most white guys like kim k. and how is it unrealistic? |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:22 PM Author: Cerebral Blue Stage totally unrealistic because most guys would not really like to fuck kim k. and by "like" I meant "like to fuck," so that's how it's the same (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1920779&forum_id=2#20435436) |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:25 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state ...when did i say that the guys i know are representative of "most guys?"
i certainly never argue that most white guys like kim k. i HAVE argued against people who say that no white guys like her. this obviously isn't true. i don't know what "most white guys" think about her and i wouldn't claim to. |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:27 PM Author: Cerebral Blue Stage oh good, glad we agree on that now. I thought you had some reason for talking about what the guys you knew thought about her, but if you were just telling a story that wasn't supposed to illustrate anything (other than that there are some white guys who like her, which yeah, duh, look at the dude she married), that's cool (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1920779&forum_id=2#20435472) |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:34 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state in those kim kardashian threads, whenever i say that she's hot a bunch of guys always try to argue that she's hideous and that no men find her hot. this obviously isn't true, otherwise she wouldn't be famous (she has no talent) and she wouldn't appear in men's magazines such as maxim and playboy constantly, nor would she appear on those year-end hottest/sexiest women lists. i just feel like im in the twilight zone when people try to argue that no one finds her hot because the woman has made her entire career off of being hot. the only thing she's known for is her ass! (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1920779&forum_id=2#20435530) |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:37 PM Author: Cerebral Blue Stage oh so you ARE arguing she's hot. well no, she's not. that ass is way too fat and she has an ugly face. I don't deny that some white guys feel differently, but I don't think most do (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1920779&forum_id=2#20435563) |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:40 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state whether she's hot or not is opinion, not something that can be proven or disproven. its my opinion that shes hot.
whether other people think she's hot is factual. not all white men find her hot, but some do. this is factual. |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:41 PM Author: Cerebral Blue Stage yeah, that some but not all white men find her hot is factual. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1920779&forum_id=2#20435601) |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:47 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state yes and this is all i have ever said.
i don't know why people like to argue with me about her so much. |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:49 PM Author: Cerebral Blue Stage you also say she's hot and that a lot of white doods think so. that that's why she's done maxim and all of these "white" mags (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1920779&forum_id=2#20435703) |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:53 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state yes there is a critical mass of white guys who like her. i didnt say "most" do.
do you think she would be in white men's magazines and be world famous for being hot if there weren't a lot of white men who find her hot? she's not someone who is solely popular in black/hispanic circles, like amber rose or buffy the buddy. |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:57 PM Author: Cerebral Blue Stage amber rose is so much hotter though (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1920779&forum_id=2#20435789) |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:12 PM Author: razzmatazz magical indian lodge well, i suppose, but as one of the dreaded overly analytical lawyers, i can say that nothing that happens around here really approximates legal argument, nor are most lawyers especially good at arguing anything outside of narrow points of law. i agree that people do set ridiculous and arbitrary burdens of proof on many debate topics around here, but without getting too person, i'd say that's kind of a glass house issue in your case.
so far as treating it like a conversation, fine, but then are you telling me that IRL if someone disagrees with you, the appropriate response is to say they're aspie or whatever?
look, i really, really don't want to fight with you - i've seen how that goes - i'm just saying, 100% objectively, you do not come off as being thoughtful, insightful, or even coherent a lot of the time on XO. maybe i see your worst threads, i don't know. either way, most of the time i do see you, your posting is just insults, weird asides, and personal assumptions about whoever you're arguing with -- very, very little substance in between all that. honestly, i hope you don't converse that way in real life. |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:29 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state like i said, my conversations progress differently irl. i never find myself arguing over such petty things that most people just accept so no my conversations do not end up being this tortured and tedious irl nor do i need to call people aspie lol. rarely do i say things that are just completely interpreted by people who need to manipulate what im saying to fit some narrow idea of how things "must" be. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1920779&forum_id=2#20435494) |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:36 PM Author: razzmatazz magical indian lodge i just don't see how this informs on communicating the way you do on here. most threads aren't a real-time conversation with a friend. i'm referring to circumstances where you're ostensibly arguing a point with someone, and all i see is the name-calling, ranting, and so on.
i don't think it's weird that people would ask for cogency in a format like this. it's fine to say, "this is how i do it, deal with it." but then it's not very cool to say XO is generally weird because nobody else thinks that's representative of clear thought and expression. |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:39 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state i dont know how to express what im trying to say in any other way and im tired of repeating myself (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1920779&forum_id=2#20435583) |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:46 PM Author: razzmatazz magical indian lodge lack or articulation seems to be your issue. i read you loud and clear - i get the impression that you're frustrated that i'm not giving you the response you'd prefer. it seems like that's part of the problem. you believe your comments should be persuasive no matter the quality. that's not going to come across as rational to many people, even if you feel it flies conversationally. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1920779&forum_id=2#20435663) |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:48 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state im frustrated because you're not understanding (or at least not responding) to what im saying. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1920779&forum_id=2#20435694) |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:57 PM Author: razzmatazz magical indian lodge i read your last serious post to be that you're complaining that your style of expressing yourself on XO is based on how people react to you and converse with you in person. you don't see why XO doesn't conform to that mode of interaction. people in face-to-face conversation "just understand," and you're frustrated that this somehow doesn't translate to an internet forum.

Date: April 10th, 2012 9:17 PM Author: Startled Hell Voyeur gentlemen: please observe this fine example of the blue smoke rule, locally known as the BSR.
"nothing i say is serious because i don't try so i can't be held to any standard, lol. except when i want my point to be respected/acknowledged, in which case i am serious and you are a virgin basement faggot if you dismiss me because of my history of utterly stupid comments. but only i get to decide when you take me seriously, lol."
this is probably her greatest innovation. effectively, anything dumb she says is not reflective of her intelligence because she isn't attempting to make fancy "lawyer arguments." but if she wants to make an actual argument, then you're not allowed to hold all the dumbassery against her. really clever stuff. |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:20 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state sigh. this is what i mean
people say i use "aspie" too much but when people like you can't understand nuance (i don't treat xoxo like a debate=/=nothing i say is serious) that's how you come off to me. i just never have to get into arguments about stuff like this irl because people just...get it. |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:24 PM Author: Startled Hell Voyeur seriously mane, you sound fucking retarded when you start insisting that posters are aspies because they don't "get" the subtle nuances of your completely ridiculous assertions. disagreeing =/= not "getting" whatever you're espousing.
you don't "get" that, so u = aspie. see how that works jigaboo? |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:26 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state youre not disagreeing, youre not getting it
you are reading what im saying with the absolute, black-and-white understanding of things that a lot of people on this board apply to things.
"omg you said you're not debating that means nothing you said can be taken seriously!!!!"...uh no |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:32 PM Author: Startled Hell Voyeur funny thing is, that's not even what you said or how you conduct yourself, so bullshit on two points. but since i'm a weird guy who sort of thinks comments should be somewhat in line with reality (i know what an anal retentive lawyer stickler!), i'm prone to no being able to follow the tortured pseudo-reasoning you're going to go through to justify this dumbassery. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1920779&forum_id=2#20435519) |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:37 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state you represented my argument as this: "nothing i say is serious"
i never said this anywhere in my post. you're so close-minded that you somehow interpret "not debating" to mean "not being serious" as though you can only be serious if you're arguing in a strict debate style
like, how do you misinterpret things like this? i just dont get it. |

Date: April 10th, 2012 9:52 PM Author: Startled Hell Voyeur like, you have, like, argued this before. i have seen this exact excuse from you. someone calls out how completely awful and easily pwnable you are when you attempt to push an argument, and you say "no fuck you because i just post fast and conversationally and don't pay attention to what i'm saying or worry about all this dry legal reasoning." you're doing a variation the same tired shit here. someone(s) points out that you look like a tard and just argue with insults, and say "yeah man but to me it's just like a conversation i would have IRL and everyone IRL totally gets me, so you guys are all weird."
as before, your argument is that we shouldn't even attempt to apply normal standards of clarity or coherence to what you say and thus shouldn't take it as a serious representation of what you're thinking. unless you want it to be taken that way because you're like, super cereal. you arbitrarily decide when.
ugh, congratulations horseface, this thread is now about u. you might seem like a fucking dolt on XO, but you are a true born talented master woman at jacking threads. |

anyway youre clearly one of a number of clearly extremely happy and well-adjusted people who just want to attack the looks and intellect of an internet stranger so why don't you just skip to that and skip the tedious misinterpretations of what i am saying? it will save both of us time. |

Date: April 10th, 2012 9:15 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state i guess most of my friends arent lawyers (thank god) but when we're talking we dont use an argument format. we just...converse. i dont know how to say it, but most people don't penalize you for saying things that aren't directly and completely responsive to the last thing the person responded to you said, or appealing to socially accepted ideas that can't really be proven, or discussing the person's attributes rather than what they're saying. of course, you shouldn't do this in a debate or academic writing but like i said i dont consider an xoxo discussion on # of sexual partners or something a debate and i wouldn't put any more effort into it than i would if i were discussing the same thing at a bar with people. i just say what comes to mind.
im not a lawyer, im not as detail-oriented and clearly im in the minority. i dont think this makes me worse than anyone else here, but xoxo doesn't really value the intelligence of non-intj types anyway. the board seems to value people who have very exact, detailed and literal ways of thinking and writing. like i said this makes sense for a board full of lawyers. |

look, think what you want about my intelligence. i am considered intelligent enough irl and i am smart enough to do the things i want to do. if xoxo posters want to believe that i'm stupid, or not smart, or whatever, i can live with that. i was just attempting to explain where im coming from. |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:28 PM Author: Cerebral Blue Stage I mean, a lot of the things you say make no more sense than "the sky is blue because so is your shirt." that's not an issue of arguing correctly, it's just nonsense. even though yeah, the sky is blue (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1920779&forum_id=2#20435482) |

|
Date: April 10th, 2012 10:01 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state i take aspie to mean someone who doesn't understand social norms
since "aging" has to do with other people's reactions to aesthetic changes, if you don't understand how other people think you won't understand other people's reactions to aging. |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 10:06 PM Author: Cerebral Blue Stage I think aspieness has nothing to do with not getting ppl's reactions to aging, but even if it did, do you not see how it's infuriating and pointless to argue with someone whose only response to anything you say is that you must have a mental problem that prevents you from seeing that their position is right?

|
Date: April 10th, 2012 10:08 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state ALL of the threads on subjective things like male aging revolve around people arguing that their position is correct and the other side's position is incorrect (because they're aspies or shrews or whatever).
what other arguments can be made? it's subjective so all you can do is point to irl examples and try to argue the superiority of your position vis a vis others'. |

Date: April 10th, 2012 9:31 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state isnt this askav?
you are one of the main people who is always calling me stupid |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:38 PM Author: Laughsome green hospital you're stupid in the way you present yourself on XO.
you're clearly not IRL stupid, though. you're smart enough to have virtually endless, really good opportunities presented to you. of course you get an AA bump, but who gives a shit; you're still adequately smart to do most things.
but intelligence promises little in life, and potential is determined by other things in combination with intelligence. it just seems like the wrong tack to attack you for not fulfilling your potential.
and, by the way, i don't "always" call you stupid. i never talk about you to anyone but you, and as you well know, we barely spoke outside of a one month (or so) span when i just couldn't take you anymore. |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:47 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state this exchange is a good example of why people think im stupid on here i think
i said you "always" say im stupid, not really meaning that you always do it, but that you did it a lot at some point, over that week-2 week period. rather, you said it enough for me to believe that it's a genuine opinion of yours.
i am really lazy wrt how i present things on here so i do stuff like that all the time. ill say "always" to mean "did it a lot in the past" because im sloppy in casual conversation and like to use shorthand to save myself time, even if it's not precise. most people on the board don't do this and i'm always being picked at for stuff like this.
irl the person i was speaking to would just get that i meant that they called me stupid a number of times and didn't literally mean they were constantly doing it. i feel like people use imprecise language a lot and i am particularly guilty of this. i think you guys don't since you are lawyers and you're trained to be detailed and thorough and exact. i once dated a lawyer and he drove me crazy because he would pick apart bits and pieces of things i was saying without responding to the thrust.
anyway this long post wasn't meant to attack you, i just wanted to point out what i think is a difference in communications style between myself and most of the board. |
|
Date: April 10th, 2012 9:50 PM Author: Cerebral Blue Stage yeah, the reason why ppl think you're stupid is that you use hyperbole and use always to mean a whole lot. no (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1920779&forum_id=2#20435712) |

Date: April 10th, 2012 9:58 PM Author: Swashbuckling turquoise goal in life state yes i use hyperbole a lot and just use the closest shorthand to whatever i want to say. in casual conversations people do this all the time (especially using always to mean often) and i dont ajust my voice for xoxo

Date: April 10th, 2012 9:44 PM Author: Unholy geriatric volcanic crater Nobody who is being genuine would think you're dumb in real life, especially compared to the average schmo on the street.
But on XO, you write shitty, think shitty, and overall ARE shitty. You seem irrational, mad, disingenuous, and mostly batshit nuts when you're posting on study meds or drunk. You never post anything creative, funny, or interesting. 90% of your posts are endless bitch fests with pumos where you literally seem like you've out of your mind.
Again, you are most certainly smart. But, if someone were to just observe your posts on XO from any given week and know nothing else about you, they would think you are a deluded ape who didn't graduate from high school. |
