No, I did re-read what you said. You were right about that. That's not the point. All you had to do was mention that, i.e. the 8 year reference, which is pretty much the same excuse that ps3 fans use over 360 (only in that case it's of course an excuse, not an argument). No need for the attitude of superiority, but that's the internet for ya. 

It's not superiority, it's me responding to your post in a way that was appropriate to your post's tone and attitude.

You ridiculed me for something that I hadn't actually said, and you did so by bolding part of a sentence and ignoring the stuff that gave the bolded part its context. I have no patience for people who extract parts of a sentence and then ridicule a person for that snippet without bothering to take their time to double-check that what was extracted is representative of what was being said.

Compare my attitude with you to my attitude with Yakuzaice. Yakuzaice took the time to read what I said, thought about it, and responded in a fairly reasonable manner, suggesting that there were disagreements on various points. You took half of a sentence that I said, and ridiculed me for it. Why should I give you the time necessary to actually explain myself a second time when you couldn't take enough time to read it through the first time? That's not entirely rhetorical, by the way - I want you to explain to me why I should give my time up in order to repeat something I'd already said, when you couldn't take enough time to read what I said the first time, and felt that ridicule was better than actually proposing a counterargument.

I'll apply your logic and attitude and provide a similar response just so that you understand how you come off. So, let me "explain basic comprehension to you"

a. Assertion number 1. Who said I didn't read your entire post? Did you take into account that some users here are not native speakers and have a hard time understanding simple things? Look at any discussions with Ethomaz and disagreements due to things lost in translation.

b. Assertion number 2. Who said I ridiculed you? Or that I had such intention? That's your perception of the events. Who said this wasn't just a joke? How do you know that I did not simply read that sentence (instead of the entire paragraph) and had no intention to ridicule you, but point out something that seemed off?

All you had to do was say: "Did you actually read the sentece? I said... x". I would have replied. "Sorry, my bad". But, no! You had to attack my inteligence. At any rate, I am done here and I suggest if you want anything, you can post it on my wall. Let's not derail the thread any futher and follow the rules, eh?
