telling people to shut up!

[black elk speaks]

Mate... shut up.

you make such a valid point, truly, however, i tend to disagree.

[Dancing Mustard]

Shhhhhhhh

[black elk speaks]

Shhhhhhhh

iiiit

[Dancing Mustard]

Shuttit.

[Snorri1234]

Shut your neck.

[black elk speaks]

sheeeite

So what you're saying is that he shouldn't say 'Shut up' any more? Right?

By doing that you're essentially saying "No you shut up... saying shut up is bad", but in a more sanctimonious way.

Face it, by rocking up and saying "People ought to ignore stuff they don't like, apart from me, who is entitled to bang on about it in a separate thread and demand that people suffer my droning in silence", you're being a tad hypocritical.

not at all. what i am saying is why inject a motion to stop arguing points in a conversation / debate when you simply have no obligation to involve yourself in the first place.

If you haven't realised, it's a fucking forum. People can involve themselves into a conversations whenever they wish.

but what is the point of telling some one to shut up? if you don't want to be subjected to it, then don't read it.

Maybe because, as he said, you two were arguing about the same thing continuously. Isn't that a bit mind droning? He obviously thought it was damn boring, and told you two to shut up. He was obviously looking at the thread, but when you two constantly argued about the same thing, he got sick of it and wanted something new.

Wah wah wah.

Wah wah wah.

so if you get sick, and want something new, why not just not bother looking at it. if you want to talk about the obvious, it was obvious that juan and i were still interested in restating our points. it was obvious that we were both still interested in continuing the conversation and it was obvious that there were some others there that wanted to drone on about the issue. obviously, jones could have simply said "i can't take it any more, i am dropping out of this" instead ov being rude about it.

Let me tell you a little story about a man named Sh! Sh! even before you start. That was a pre-emptive "sh!" Now, I have a whole bag of "sh!" with your name on it.

[MeDeFe]

Everyone in this thread needs to shut up, including me. Yay for not being a hypocrite!

[CrazyAnglican]

Also, what the f*ck is etiquette? Who does this?

Ew! Ew! **raises hand** I do!, or at least I try.

Guys you do seem to be ignoring the fact that black elk was questioning the validity of the statement not saying that he had no right say it. It may be a fine point, but it absolves him of hypocrisy. He isn't saying "Jonesy, shut up" he's saying, I think, "Why do that? It's rude." Which isn't the same thing.

Jonesy, on the other hand, has asked me the same question three times in the "Why argue the same theory" thread, in an apparent attempt to force a stance on me that I don't ascribe to. For him to tell other people to shut up about saying the same thing over and over, when he's doing the same thing to me in another thread does seem a tad hypocritical though.

[Neoteny]

Shut the hell up.

[strike wolf]

I concur. Too bad no one else is listening.

[CrazyAnglican]

Ah the tender, loving environment of the Chatterbox.

we are all too busy talking to even hear people say shut up

CA is right. i am simply asserting that it is without class to simply tell someone to shut up, especially in light of the fact that that person most likely not shut up.

[pimpdave]

i don't think i will shut up. this is a perfect example of "if you don't like the topic, don't read it" but there's no reason be rude about it!

Yeah, love it or leave it. But failing that, shut up.

Also, I wouldn't mess with Cobra Commander if I were you. If I were you, I'd just shut up.

[black elk speaks]

cobra commander? you mean, he charms snakes? should i tremble at his awesome internet power? i don't think so. besides, shutting up is for pussies.

[pimpdave]

Or people who know when to quit. Either, really.

[Juan_Bottom]

Welp, Jones can tell me to shut up, cauze I respect him, and he was right.
Also, Frop got some major Charisma points +10 for his post on page one .
Dm gets +5.

true, the that time is not now, for me. i am clearly in the right on this one.

i would wager that i am older than you are so a whelp i am not. regardless of the topic, being rude really should not be a part of the equation. though, by your posts in the thread in question, rudeness is a completely valid method of argument.

[Juan_Bottom]

Huh? Where do you live, cauze I've never heard that welp is a name for young people?

Welp, is just like saying, 'well,' at the start of a sentance, only it's slang is all.

i took your slang for the term whelp. my error.

as for my second remark. you and i were in disagreement, and your tone was condescending, to the point of obvious rudeness.
