Well you see, I wouldn't call it so much "babbling" as I would "being thorough," a quality which is necessary in discussions where so many people tend to omit context and other important facts, thus doing a serious disservice to both the speaker and the audience, which in turn leads to a strong retrogression in the quality of the forum's threads and posts.

I was just about to explain that it was only a poke at that kind of debater, and that all of the names are pretty much hyperboles of the actual tactics.

And then I kept reading.

And then I kept reading some more...

Touche.

What else can you call the man who wrote what is officially the longest post in VGChartz history? dib8rman's PC couldn't even load the post, let alone the rest of the page...
