You don't remember me but I remember you. This behaviour is exactly in line with how you have conducted yourself in the past. You were extremely dismissive and insulting and I am always glad to reciprocate. My only regret is this time I escalated instead of waiting for you to do so first. The thing that bothers me the most is how you play innocent when you are always dismissive and either passive agressive or outright insulting. If you are going to make poorly thought out arguments and do little to back them up, all while calling others naive or saying that their points are nonsense expect to be called out on it, alright. You resorted to saying that I was just using the facts to fit my agenda. Were you seriously proposing that I was pushing an agenda while you were not? How about addressing my points instead of, once again, attacking me personally? This is the crux of my problem with you as a user on this site. Stop dismissing opposing points of view as nonsense and stop calling other users' motivations into quastion, that is very petty of you. Don't bother to try to turn this back on me because I know I conducted myself poorly but that doesn't change the fact that you are a very unpleasant individual to have such discussions with.
As far as your argument that state enforced bans on tear gas are justifiable based upon the potentially fatal risks is both a weak argument and one that you supported very poorly. There are inherent risks involved in any form of self defense and tear gas is no exception. This in no way justifies an authoritarian ban on a legitimate means of self defense. Additionally you could have at least pointed out the fact that tear gas has been linked to fatalities involving individuals who have bronchitis / asthma. Instead you posted a link to an incident at a nightclub where the mace likely contributed not a single fatality because there were several other, far more significant factors involved. You could have at least put the bare minimum amout of effort into supporting your logically unsound argument. When you say that somebody's points are nonsense and that they are just pushing an agenda you're actually surprised when they become combative? Seriously pokoko, having a different viewpoint is fine so long as you stop:
1. doing nothing / very little to support your stance on the issue
2. stop dismissing other viewpoints or insulting other users
3. acting innocent despite being disrecpectful, either as a response to others or without provocation

Hmm. It looks like you came after me on purpose as some kind of poorly thought about revenge for something I don't even remember. It all seems very petty and, quite honestly, I would rather not talk with someone who does these kind of planned attacks. People like you, who bring their own personal vengence motives into discussions, really damage the value of a forum.
Very, very petty. If you have a personal problem with me then PM me, don't spread this kind of junk into unrelated threads. This does not belong here. Goodbye.

So you're not going to address your illogical argument, that you didn't back it up with any facts or the article that in no way supported what you were saying? You're not going to address how you dismissed other users' points of view, how you used ad hominem to discredit those you disagreed with or your own insulting, passive aggressive approach to debate? Go ahead and ignore my valid criticisms of your argument and your conduct, it merely reaffirms what I have said. If you need to convince yourself that you're somehow innocent that's fine, just don't continue with such lousy and ignorant posting because I'll keep pointing out your shortcomings. It's not personal, I just don't like poorly thought out, poorly supported arguments coming from dismissive, passive aggressive users regardless of who it is. I merely remembered that you are a prime example of this type of problematic individual and I pointed out the fact that you had not reformed your ways. Go ahead and brush this off, just don't immediately return to posting articles that do nothing to back your claims while calling out others for posting nonsense just to fit their agendas.
Edit: If I have a problem with how you conduct yourself publicly I'm going to say so in the public discussion. I see no need to send you a private message when I can confront your misconduct where it occurs.
