You want stupidity? Go back a couple pages to your "Panic in Public Places" thread. THAT is stupidity.

I admit, that one didn't fly as well as I would have liked. But, hell -- see Dangerous Fun In The House Of The Scorpion. Sometimes it's a matter of taste.

Are you mentally impaired? I said you got the Village Idiot title because of your stupid and illogical arguements, not the other way around. You made stupid and illogical arguements long before you were handed your title, therefore it can be deducted that the title could not have caused you to make stupid and illogical arguements. What exactly caused you to make those arguements is not yet fully known, but it probably involves mind altering drugs and/or being dropped as a child.

Yet you can bring no external evidence to bear to support this claim.

Read your post, it's not that hard, you wrote them.

Your statement that you don't "have to" is a cop-out.

I don't want to waste my time pointing out what everyone else already has. Do I also need to prove to you that the sky is blue and the earth is a sphere?

No, what you need to prove is that you have the capability to read things I haven't written, or prove that I have not written clarifications of those statements which more clearly illustrate my points. You're one of the few people left here who insist that I'm an idiot, and the only one who insists on being a complete and utter jackass about it. Now kindly put up or shut up.

What, you mean like how circular logic is in fact logical?

You mean all that horseshit about how you were joking? Do you actually believe you fooled anyone?

Yeah, I'm in the minority on this one. Could any and all Raoul Duke, Jr. supporters please come forward and comment on how you believe Raoul Duke, Jr. is not a complete and utter retard.

They should be on their way, any time now.

Yeah, we call those people retards.

True, Raoul did say that, but subsequently agreed he was wrong. Note that he doesn't deny saying it - he has agreed his initial statements were incorrect (albeit based on a misunderstanding of the term). I see a VI as someone who is incapable of being logical, rather than merely unskilled at being logical in their arguments.

Here's one (Cyril would be another). I think Raoul needs a bit of practice at applying logic to his arguments - but I also get the impression that he is trying to be logical.

What harm does it do us to give him the benefit of the doubt, and grant him a second chance?

(After all, if being occasionally irrational was all it took to earn the Vi title, we'd ALL be Village Idiots)
