Challenging people when you dont agree with them

What’s with people on this forum always calling others out to gamble when they disagree with something the other person said? I really don’t get it. Some guy posts an opinion or thought and someone chimes in and says it’s wrong and to prove it come play me for $5k. If you don’t have the balls to play me then you’re obviously wrong and I am right. I just don’t get how this proves anything except for the fact that you have a testosterone issue and the only proof of logic is gambling. It just seems so immature and juvenile. And when the other person obviously shows no interest in gambling the jerk just keeps trying to goad the them on, pressing the point that the only reason you won’t gamble with me is because I’m right. Some people don’t gamble. Some people don’t want to go out of their way to play someone they don’t know just to show this stranger that their wrong. Some people struggle to make a living and just because they believe they are right doesn’t mean they’re going to risk their family’s food and shelter to prove a point.

I usually roam these forums just trying to pick up new information but every time I see this happen I just roll my eyes and try to ignore the rest of the thread because I know where it’s headed. It becomes a pissing contest. No class or civility in discussion. Just temperamental people. That’s my rant.

I enjoyed reading your thought's in this thread. I have been guilty of the arguing with others because I thought it was necessary to show others how strong I believed in my comments. Over time it became an obsession in it's self and depending upon who I was interacting with I wouldn't admit I was wrong when I was no longer certain I was right.

I am not proud of my past behavior at that time I acted like an ass, but it is past and I have moved on which I am proud of. I think people forget that everyone has the right to an opinion, and that some times the smartest guy is the guy who lets the unimportant shit go by without comment even if it directed at you. The most important part about handling things in this manner is the sense of calm you get by just letting shit go.

Thanks for the thread, I totally agree with you here even though my comments were not directed at the gambling thing, in my opinion it all applies equally anyway.

Take care

And actually this is the best way to be. The smartest people on this forum say very very little and let a lot of things slide.

They generally appear to be much happier as well. In fact I'd bet on it :-)
 
JB,heres a fact(no dis ment),you keep stating prove this or do that & i'll will leave this forum,well sir when you get a time out from a mod you still post under another name. i like some of your posts agree or disagree but you got to just loose this "i'll leave the forum" thing,its old, keep making them nice case's .

You misunderstand the whole thing. I don't WANT to leave the forum. I am addicted to the forum. So betting on leaving the forum is worth more than money to me. Imagine the field day the antagonists (I prefer to call them stalkers) would have if any of them ever did take me up on a leave the forum bet and I lost and then brazenly came back with another user name and tried to sell cases? I have far more to lose than any of them do.

As for getting banned and posting, once again the mods are not banning a person, they are banning a behavior. There is no law that prevents a person from having thousands of online identities. The obvious punishment of getting "banned" is that a person cannot be themselves if they then choose to post under another username. If being themselves means that they are doing banworthy things that is.

So for me, since being me means that I sell cases and speak my mind then getting banned stops me from being able to sell cases and certainly stops me from speaking my mind in any way that is how I like to express myself.

I guarantee you that when I make a "leave the forum" bet then it's serious.

For example I'd love to see Duckie leave the forum. I know I am right about his false accusations and he knows it. So he will never ever ever ever show the heart to bet on his statements.

It's way easier to make a false statement, to LIE, and not have to back it up. And to me THAT is a major problem on this forum, and really it's a major problem across the internet.

So I get really tired of all these LYING HYPOCRITES and ask them to back up their words. None do.

None.

Not one.

Not ever.

The thing is that there ARE a lot of people here who actually do get it. They are able to read and comprehend the WHOLE point and don't just stop at "bet".
