Google up the definitions already, you just told us you're not at work so your lack of research at this point is simply banal. And you're blaming this on Dyslexia? And you've said this several times? No, this is the first you've told me and the first time Dyslexic or Dyslexia has appeared in this thread was in the post above and you have never told me any

Originally posted by Jaecp View PostNope, I have plenty of room. A review of my posting history, particularly pre-crash, clearly shows you a very different Jaecp from the me of the last few months where I've taken a more confrontational tone than before. A tone that, by the way, is not only technically allowable within the site rules that you, as an owner, defended not long ago to me. So now, after nearly a decade of posts on this website, I give back a smidgen of vinegar and you guys lose your minds. It's kind of funny, isn't it? A few months back when I was literally still cherubic enough that you guys let me ban a freakin' moderator from all threads I start and you don't realize anything? Aye yai yai

Since you are not being "more confrontational" and spewing "vinegar" - maybe you should stop whining about other people doing the same?Last edited by Jaecp; 09-28-2016, 11:14 AM.

Originally posted by Roy View PostYup, I think that's what she said (though my memory may be faulty). I've still got a copy of one of my (pre-crash) posts somewhere, since it was long and I composed it outside the Tweb response box.

Originally posted by Jaecp View PostWhy should I? I have 8-ish years of posts demonstrating that I can easily debate politely. The same cannot be said of LPOT. There are also, still, massive qualitative and quantitative differences between what I've done here (which, again, is mostly quoting her posts and going SEE!!) which is why I am just not taking your charge of hypocrisy seriously.
I used to be far more militant but in my older age, I've grown to not be as political about this stuff. What I did enjoy for awhile was the fight for truth - whatever it might be. I don't see the world as theist vs atheist like I used to, but I've also gotten more cynical about the world improving.

How many people need to die before these groups become enough of an external threat to warrant a military response?
How many people need to die before these groups become enough of a existential threat to warrant a military response?
Now, in detail, explain the major differences between those two word choices and how it specifically changes around everything I said. Of course, I don't expect you to do that because what I expect from you is more hatred and spittle vs actually trying to have a decent conversation because you're not capable of having any sort of decent conversation with somebody who disagrees with you too much."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

So cute to watch you miss the point starting right at your face and you're just too full of hatred and spittle to see it so let me help you out here. Here is my major points, one using the word 'external' and the other using the word 'existential'.
How many people need to die before these groups become enough of an external threat to warrant a military response?
How many people need to die before these groups become enough of a existential threat to warrant a military response?
