No, it gets personal because people are overly emotional about what other people do and won't just let it go. Stating that people sold out principles for cash is a BS statement unless you catch some being a hypocrite after stating they wouldn't press and it's entirely uncalled for and emotionally immature. Like I said last night, it's no different than a discussion on religion. Hot heads just start butting with no rational though prvailing. Aside from printing cash.....there is NO defense for the practice of pressing. NONE. ZERO. NADA. You sure do make a lot of absolute statements. I'm sure it drives you batty...... No, not at all. Learning that there are very few absolutes in life, at least as far as man is concerned, is one of the keys to happiness. You don't have to get upset when people don't see things your way. It's ok to disagree, and not think everyone else is "wrong." I highly recommend it. Condesension masquerading as enlightenment.... I don't want to argue with you. I retract my statement. I was wrong.

What a difference 9 years makes.

Judging strangers on the internet.

What did I deflect and defend? You have as much a vested interest in this as me (just as Bedrock stated last week). You are just inflexible and refuse to ever admit when you're wrong. I've already explained that I answered the OP and also explained my answer. If that's a deflection and we're having another pressing thread, I'm out. I've had enough of those to last me a lifetime. I didn't realise Richard had made any such comments...I don't usually have the time for CG. I've now tracked them down and answered appropriately. In truth, I am potentially damaging my 'vested interests' with my continuing criticisms...but that won't stop me calling BS. Giving is the head-up on what, precisely? That you're clueless? Don't worry, this thread is probably sufficient. \(thumbs u Why the need to be insulting? Does it prove anything?

I run a pressing business due to what I discovered here. Do you disclose to your ebay audience that a book has been pressed? I tried, but all I got were endless "what does it mean, the book is "pressed""? When I explained it to them, it was like trying to explain Mars to 6th century Frenchmen. But I have no problem disclosing it to anyone who wants to know. Since I've advertised here that I do it, and have stated that all my slabbed books were pressed by me, it's not really a problem.

Have you tracked down a supergirl 1 3rd print? I did, but it was quite a bit lower grade than the 9.2 it was advertised to be, so I returned it.

I run a pressing business due to what I discovered here. I'm farting on any books I send for you to press. I would making a sniffing joke right now, but good taste and decorum prevent me from doing so.

No, no, no, you're doing it all WRONG! Comics General isn't for learning anything. Everyone knows Comics General is the place to go to confirm your own opinions and denigrate anyone who disagrees with you. Noobs. (thumbs u

If I win and you want to go, you'll have to get out here to the east coast on your dime... -slym It's a date!

Mmmmm....fresh popped. Speaking of popcorn....I love popcorn, but I can't eat the stuff at the theatre anymore. It's a chemical nightmare. That goes for microwave popcorn, too. Better to have organic corn popped in organic oil at home. Still, it's hard to get quite the right flavor.

Your lack of self-awareness is truly astounding - it's like you're describing yourself and your debating style and don't even realize it. Nearly 12 years on the Boards here and never have I met a more delusional personality. via Imgflip Meme Maker

This little gem should not be missed. Excellente!

Fascinating.

That is not possible here. Far too many people have their egos and emotions wrapped around their arguments. Disagree with me = personal attack. Sad, but true.

Agree to disagree. Not going to have this discussion anymore, because you and others can't do it without making it personal. Nothing I say will mean anything, because you are only interested in confirming your opinion, not searching for the truth. And you can say the same about me, so why waste our time? In the future I would recommend a complete re-haul of your debate style. You need to bring more facts to a debate and cool it on the various logical fallacies. And remember its OK to admit your original premise was wrong. Thank you for your recommendation, but at this time, I think I'll be sticking to what works for me. I disagree with your analysis, and simply say again: if you're only interested in confirming your own opinion, no debate style has any meaning. As for "bringing more facts to the debate"...no one brought more facts to that debate than I did. How can the person who brings the most facts need to "bring more facts"....?

As usual, none of this is even close to anything I have said, and is, in fact, completely contrary to it. Let me spell it out for you once more: the conclusion is what is opinion, not the facts supporting the conclusion. Delekkerste, honest question: have you ever had a disagreement with someone where you did not resort to devices like argumentum ad populum, extreme hyperbole, and the like? You do know that these are fallacious arguments, do you not? Shadroch said this to JC, and it applies perfectly to you as well: Frequently mistaken, but never in doubt.
