What do you miss most about BBS since he died?

Well, I was just last night thinking about how much I wanted to be told that I only know about astrophysics and nothing else, and then BBS popped in and fulfilled my desire on my wall this morning. Praise hallelujah.

And avoid creating strawman arguments. It's not doing you any favors.

BBS thinks I'm misrepresenting his views. How cute. Too bad he can't come in here and set the record straight.

It is kind of annoying to have to go back and forth.

You realise by posting his wall comments you are only aiding and abetting Mr. Stalin? Best way to get him to lose his wager is to just ignore. You are obviously getting to him so just stay strong and keep it up.

I miss his posts as they are among the few that aren't complete spoon fed nonsense.

Yeah, at some point I realized that I was feeding the troll, so I stopped posting and foed him.

Life is too short for dealing with people like BBS.

He's not that bad.
He just found a worthy opponent in you ; I would take it as a compliment. You have to be careful when arguing with someone as stubborn as BBS because even if you beat him he will keep prodding until you yourself slip, be it due to emotion or just being human (we all slip up eventually, especially if your preferred method is argumentum ad logicam). Play it cool and you will most likely spank him once again. Be careful, however, as BBS, unlike a lot of other posters on here, is quite the challenging target.

You could have just voted for "the sex." You don't need to drag us all through the Twilight drama.

his low IQ

by **Lootifer** on Wed Nov 28, 2012 4:36 pm

Nothing.

I mention the words "efficiency" or "market failure" and [1 new!] pops up within seconds.

those rockin tits

He hasn't said anything to me since the convention in Minneapolis last summer (Saxi was there too), so I guess I must be doing some awesome posting.

THANKS BEIBerS!

This is a good team trap thread for BBS. Hopefully we can get him to come back with it.

by **Phatscotty** on Wed Nov 28, 2012 5:33 pm

Did someone take that bet he offered to not post or buy a premium membership? who took it?

Dukasaur. Who has nothing to gain since he gets free premium for being a mod anyways.

I considered that. But I was quite put off by the fact that he insisted on trying to score cheap points on me by using a snarky catchphrase to describe my views instead of actually discussing them on their merits. I find it quite possible that he really is challenging me to stay intellectually honest; and I have no problem with that. As always, argumentation for me is a way of learning what other people think, and helping to reconsider my own opinions (in the specific case in question, I like having discussions with attorneys about legal issues because it's much easier than reading case law). But if that's what he's doing, he's got a funny way of showing it.

Also, TGD, you ruined the surprise.

Or did I? I anticipated that you would say I ruined the surprise, which is another way to trap BBS.

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I think it would be more appropriate if BvP gave him a ride in a T-28 tank or something.
