Perhaps you were hoping that innundating myself and other members with naive opinions and unrelated debate topics would present a more powerful position than what you actually had. For most people, you probably did. Changing the subject is what many politicans do when they're beat. You're not a very gracious loser, are you? Well then, since you have nothing relevent to my points that you'd like to address, I'm going to leave this political game.

Awww, Kell. You disappoint me. I had hoped you would have adequately matured by now to be, at least, gracious enough to take the 'last word' I offered and not use it to launch pathetically lame attempts to belittle me when you cannot dominate the thread or legitimately dismiss my cogent responses to you. I guess I should have known better. You always go into a pout when you cannot dominate. Nothing has changed. How sad.

The price of gas is dropping daily and that does render the original discussion points - that oil companies are 'gouging' and make obscene profits...in your opinion...moot, whether you can admit or not. Give it up.

It's amazing how someone can claim a "victory" in a totally objective discussion. How does that work Mr. 5 0?
A debate is like an argument with your girlfriend or wife....neither side ever capitulates. Both sides continue believing that their views are the correct ones.
Remeber that superiority complex I was telling you that you had?
It has shown it's ugly head multiple times during this thread.
I have also observed you "belittling" unit and others throughout this thread.

Also, how is it that you dislike people judging you who "don't know you from Adam", but it seems perfectly ok for YOU to judge others that "you don't know from Adam"?
Most of us have never met you but you're painting an ugly picture of yourself.

Please quote the line in any post of mine where I claimed 'victory'. You are mistaking me with Unit 5302. He never loses an internet debate, you see (in his own mind).

Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us

Then, we're even. If I am belittled by others, I reserve the right to do likewise, when insulted. Fair is fair.

If you cannot handle a serious discussion don't blame others who can and then go on and whine about my alleged 'superiority complex' because you cannot deal with my responses.

Also, how is it that you dislike people judging you who "don't know you from Adam", but it seems perfectly ok for YOU to judge others that "you don't know from Adam"?

I was responding to assumptions made by others about my occupation. They were incorrect and I was pointing that out. I do not make the same assumptions about others occupations or status in life.

Please, spare me the finger-wagging self-righteousness. I have been a member of this website for over 8 years, was an administrator and moderator (I voluntarily 'retired') and have helped more people than you can ever know. That you may not have a 'pretty picture' of 'Mr. 5.0' is totally irrelevant to me. It's just an internet messageboard; nothing more or less and what some anonymous people far away from me may 'think' about a few posts I have made is simply not very important. Let's keep things in perspective, shall we? Thanks.
