Subject: Walter, please debate, not argue
Walter -

You stated to me at IYT that you like to get into long-winded discussions and/or arguements or something of the nature. The problem is, they are just that, arguments, instead of debates. Dmitri King has little tolerance for arguments as opposed to debates. Although I have a greater tolerance for arguments, I too have my breaking point. I made the mistake ONE time of being sucked into arguing with you and it won't happen again.

We WILL listen to people like Pioneer54, Thad, and Satan (to a smaller extent because he also gets into arguing) who give VALID reasons as to why the game is more 'fun' without the restriction. We may not agree with them, but their reasons ARE worth listening to because they are engaging in a reasonable and logical debate instead of arguing.

If you feel like you are not being listened to, it is because it looks like you are arguing with us instead of debating. For example, your previous reference to his parents and now calling him a nitwit or the keeper of all that's pure will simply not help your case.

If you want a good example of how to engage in a logical debate with your view point, refer to Thad's posts. He always attempts to specifically address each individual point in detail.

Also, I would refer you to my last post to try to find something similar to the situation that exists in Pente at IYT so that this discussion can be shut down once and for all.
