You are seperating common sense and logic I am not saying they are inseparable but rather nonexclusive terms.

I think you have trouble reading.

I Agree with you. So you know I am very prone to play devils advocate. Though I do not enjoy being attacked for it.

Blocking "common sense" is one thing but blocking logic is not good.

But surely then you expect the positions you hold and the arguments you present to be attacked?  Kasz216 has not engaged in personal attacks beyond attacking your arguments and positions so far as I have seen.

Yes I do expect the argument to be attacked.

And I was reffering back to a previous argument me and him had in which I was attacked.

Also I tend to reflect how others act, if your curdious and understanding I'll be curdious and understand, if you refuse to budge one inch so will I.

Kasz216 - is extremmly smart but he refuses to back down or give in any.

Edit: You find out alot about people when you argue with them and alot about their motives. The Common Sense remark was bait.

That only works if your positions are equally defensible.  If one of you is right and the other is wrong it's not reasonable to expect a compromise.

I suppose by "common sense remark" you mean the one quoted above.  If that was your "bait" then it looks like you were deliberately trying to antagonize him.  Playing Devil's Advocate to probe the strength of one's position is one thing but doing it for the purpose of picking a fight (or perpetuating one) is quite another.
