See, CK? Ohoni agrees with me.

*raises arms in rhetorical triumph*

In any case, I agree this thread has gotten off-topic. So...

Oh, the guy you were just slamming as a selfish poster who has no insight, interest or humor, and sucks life from all threads he posts in? Well, at least you have standards Shocked

This is probably the most off topic thread on the forum right now. We should change the title to "A couple guys try to one-up each other with snide remarks. Who will be victorious???"
Isn't that pretty much the plot of the show, though?

Slaine and I both agree that when somebody who has no reason to feel kindly towards you nonetheless agrees with one of your points, that is pretty impressive evidence of being 1,000% correct.

By the way, has anyone started the over-under for which episode Princess Fish Tank will wake up in?

Not when you are claiming that person has bad judgment. If you are saying they have bad judgment and then proclaiming that they agree with you, that would seem to be a bit counterproductive, no?

I never said or implied that Ohoni suffered from an inability to discern a sound argument. And even if I did (which I didn't), I would interpret his post affirming my own as a positive sign that he was capable of improvement.

So I think Inaho is eventually going to miscalculate a situation that will lead to a very negative outcome for someone close to him and cause him to lose confidence in his abilities ... a long, dark night of his soul, if you will. Thoughts?

Again, all I ever said about Ohoni is that he didn't seem capable of generating his own insight. I never said he was incapable of recognizing the brilliant insights of others. However, as I already said, please feel free to interpret my noting of his support as my charming ability to recognize when people are changing for the better.

I notice none of your posts are actually related to A/Z, CK, in stark contrast to recent posts of my own. I think the current Martian Emperor is a big doodyhead whose infirmity makes him unfit to rule. Thoughts?

Rofl. Blood- come on, this is going into parody now. He can't generate his own insight but he can only recognize your "brilliant" insight? That makes no sense. And I don't mind more discussion about AZ, but this whole "Blood- is 1000% right because the guy he claimed has no insight gave him the stamp of approval" thing to be kind of humorous. I think even you would objectively find it humorous if you weren't caught up in it.

But yes, the emperor is a doodyhead. I will agree.

*raises arms in rhetorical triumph* Wink

Anyway, this is my last post in this thread until there is a new episode OR unless somebody raises a legitimate discussion point based on the show itself. Which ever comes first.

Ah, if only we could go back to those simpler and more innocent times. When kids knew the value of hard work, which was a shilling and tuppence for a twelve-hour shift in the mines. When there was no "organic" food, just food, and you were happy to get it. When men used their time productively, like writing indignant letters to the editor. And when arguments were at least directly related to the show that the discussion thread is based on, not merely squabbles about the definitions of various insults and whether said insults should - or should not be - applied to certain comments, which themselves are just accusations that people have not been following the thread closely enough!

For heaven's sakes people. Sort your crap out before Key steps in to rearrange your arsehole for you.

Did we just trade out one inane argument for another?

Do I need to step in? I've got my trusty whips, balls, and chains all packed up and ready to use. I'm certain I could sort you guys out into more well-mannered posters eventually. I know you're just begging for it. PM me for rates. I'm willing to negotiate.

(P.S. This is your slightly-subtle-but-not-so-subtle-right-now piece of sage advice to take this topic of convo to PMs if you really feel it needs to continue. Let's stick to Aldnoah.Zero for now. Have at it.)
