From what I've seen over the past 7 years, you post some things that are well-known or enlightening in tandem with a large amount of information that may or may not be facts. It's all topped with personal commentary, and you claim to post without emotion. When you are asked to provide sources, you refuse to do so, claiming that "everyone should know" what you're talking about. You also cycle a lot of the same information--Lord knows how many times we've heard about how bad GM is, the dichead Sharon, etc. And when you are called out or your facts are refuted, you either ignore the information or try to twist the information to make it suit your stances. I have never once seen you admit that you might be wrong. Amazingly, I did get you to apologize once (not long ago) for not properly reading a post I made.

I have no doubt that you are an intelligent person, tw. But you use your intelligence in a manner that strips you of your credibility and makes you unbelievable. You've particularly stumbled a lot recently.

Now, you can reply by saying that I don't understand what you've been talking about, or that I'm unintelligent, or that I'm posting with emotion or that I'm attacking you because I disagree with you. Or you can conveniently ignore this. Whatever.

I enjoy a good spirited debate...I do not enjoy half-assed exchanges that show the ignorance and asinine nature of an individual. I have let you get to me recently...I will work hard to make sure it does not happen anymore. Because you're a troublemaker and a fraud...and those are the last types of people that should get to me.
