You must be a lot of fun at parties.

@Benthoven I never engage in idle chatter just to beat my gums or to just be heard.

@Benthoven ,
there's a generation or 2 gap. wordy is a nice guy but maybe doesn't connect too well with younger ppl.

@wordywalt: Like I said... you must be a lot of fun at parties.

@callmedubious: Not sure he connects with anybody.

@Benthoven Unlike you, I do not disparage people just because I disagree with them.

@wordywalt: Yah, you're lying.

@wordywalt: Again... you're lying.

@Benthoven Two groups of people have a need to attack, label, or disparage others who disagree with them, (1) egomaniacs, and (2) you people who feel that they have an urgent need to prove themselves or be known. I am 82 years old. I do not lie and have no reason to do so. I am who and what I am and will not change at this stage. I will treat you with dignity and respect, but I will question
your statements if I do not understand them, if I feel that the statements are poorly or falsely grounded, or if the person is being uncivil. If you do not like that, it is your problem, not mine.

@wordywalt: Alright, so let’s break it down. “You said: Two groups of people have a need to attack, label, or disparage others who disagree with them, (1) egomaniacs, and (2) you people who feel that they have an urgent need to prove themselves or be known.”

And yet HERE YOU ARE, sticking your nose into somebody’s business slathering your arrogance around as if your opinion does—or ever did—matter.

“I am 82 years old. I do not lie and have no reason to do so.”
So let’s count your lies!

1. “I am 82 years old. I do not lie and have no reason to do so.” And yet here you are.
2. “I never engage in idle chatter just to beat my gums or to just be heard.” And yet here you are.
3. “Unlike you, I do not disparage people just because I disagree with them. And yet here you go.
4. “I will treat you with dignity and respect, but I will question.” And yet... insults without content.

Nothing you’ve said here even remotely approaches dignity and respect. In fact, you decided to say, “Now you are acting like the idiot Trump. Because you can't find a comeback, you try to project your own behavior on others.”

Which is profoundly ironic since that’s exactly what YOU’RE doing… projecting your bullshit onto others. In this case… me.

“I will question your statements if I do not understand them, if I feel that the statements are poorly or falsely grounded, or if the person is being uncivil. If you do not like that, it is your problem, not mine.”

So again… LYING. You’re the one being humorless and uncivil. It’s not my fault you have no sense of humor that words confuse you. I didn’t come to you, YOU CAME TO ME! And only to criticize.

Everything you’ve said about me, is more true of you, and you’ve been projecting you bullshit all over the place. You may be aging sequentially, but mentally you’re still a child. A petulant, bratty, obnoxious, humorless child.

So yes… I do have a response. I was hoping it wouldn’t have to come to this.

@Benthoven You continue to prove my points.

@wordywalt: Clearly you have no idea how this works.

@Benthoven Oh, you make your own rules as you go, eh?

@wordywalt: I think I see what's going on. You want to have the last word... Got it. Like I said, I'll bet you're a lot of fun at parties.

@Benthoven I have intelligent and productive conversations.

@wordywalt: Maybe you should try having one here.
