Re: Gamers Can "Play" as Taliban
This thread really needs to be infused with some extra posturing. We haven't gotten nearly self-important enough.

What is your purpose behind this whole conversation and quoting me as you have been? Just to point out little flaws in my statements and/or to show where you disagree with me? Maybe that is where we are going astray. I figure you reply to my comments with purpose but yet struggle to find a purpose.
Re: Gamers Can "Play" as Taliban
I "quote you as I have been" so that you know exactly what I'm responding to. I quote in this method to give it more of a feel of a real conversation (you say something, I respond, etc...). Unlike some, I strive for clarity. It's certainly not being done "to point out little flaws", because if it were for that reason why would I quote those parts where I agreed with you completely (you never have responded to my pointing this out to you)? Wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose? I don't even know what you mean by "struggle to find a purpose"...the purpose behind my replies are pretty clear to most folks.patrickaa317 wrote:What is your purpose behind this whole conversation and quoting me as you have been?

Re: Gamers Can "Play" as Taliban
I guess I don't know what else to say as this conversation has dried up in a hurry. I find myself getting bored with your explanations behind everything. My wife is getting a kick out of your replies though...Woodruff wrote:I "quote you as I have been" so that you know exactly what I'm responding to.

Re: Gamers Can "Play" as Taliban
Yeah, I didn't think you were very interested in the truth, either. You made that fairly clear with your entry into this thread.patrickaa317 wrote:I guess I don't know what else to say as this conversation has dried up in a hurry.

Man you are just completely obnoxious. Next time I want to learn from such an intelligent guy, I'll send you a message because obviously you are the know-all, and definitely the tell-all.Woodruff wrote:Yeah, I didn't think you were very interested in the truth, either.

As these were my first non-game related postings, they'll probably be my last as well. I tried throwing my opinion out there and just got annoyed with a certain member flapping his gums simply to listen to himself. This will be strictly a game only sight from now on for me. Peace out.
