I think this thread has run it's inevitable course. We only got name calling and hate over the last couple of pages and everybody has stated his opinion so I vote for locking the thing.
And for all people considering to leave: Think about with how many people you have a problem with here and with how many you get along just fine. I think it doesn't matter on which side of the spectrum you are but you'll see that you usually have a lot more people you get along with than you have people who you can't stand. So don't let yourself be pushed out over a few guys you don't like in a topic that was set to self destruction from the get go.

Think about it this way, I've spent the past week in the local county court, three days of which was spent in a case involving a suspected drug dealer. It was not up to the defence to prove the man innocent, but to the prosecution to prove him guilty, the presumption of innocence as it is legally known as. As such, the prosecution called two people to the stand and brought forward evidence to the jury so that we may judge whether he is innocent or guilty, and likewise the defence brought forward the defendant himself so that the same process can be undertaken. If the prosecution had turned to the jury and said "Well, go and look for the evidence yourself" the case, and the prosecution would have been dismissed. Likewise, if you are writing an essay for an academic institution and you quote from a book or another essay, you are asked to provide a source for this quote in the bibliography or reference section at the rear of the paper. If you were to simply write in that section "Go and look for it yourself" then you would likely receive a lot of red ink and a stern lecture from whoever you're writing the essay for. Using the search function in Subsim isn't that hard, for example you referred to: Quote:
![]() which gives you this: ![]() And then when you click on the one you want, you can just click on the post number and then copy and paste the link directly into your post, like this: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...7&postcount=16 It really is not that difficult, and when you are the first to pull apart the links provided by other people and yet so reluctant to provide them yourself, it does rather create an air of hypocrisy. So, surely it's better to provide links to your claims, using the search function, or even google if you wish, and add that extra bit of legitimacy and authenticity to your post rather than just mocking the other poster for not searching for it themselves. |

It's sad to see what this topic has come to.
Seems like it could be useful to say it again; 'I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it' Onkel Neal - shut this down, please. |

I'm currently sitting here and typing with a friend on brief visit by my side. I told him of the recent clash I had in this forum, and showed him the past couple of pages, and while he read, I was in the kitchen preparing some tea and coffee.
And what he said afterwards, is this: "Many of those guys don't argue with you to have an analytical examination over this ideology. They argue with you because they want to prevent any critical examination of that ideology. That's why they put things in your mouth and ignore everything you point out if they do not like it." I must agree, considering the tactics used here. Anyhow, we now will have a good time in Assetto Corsa. You guys could give me a call when the ideology of peace has motivated another strike somehwere, somehow. BTW: His name is Elyar. If now you conclude by the sound of that name that he is Iranian (and former Muslim), you are right. ![]() ![]()

But in a way, it is, when you are trying to make a point against someone or something, if you don't properly back that point up then you don't have any substance to your argument. Now you can take a quote from someone, but if you don't specifically say WHO that someone is, then it's pretty pointless, likewise if you don't take that quote in its context then, again, it undermines the point you're trying to make. I mean, I can take a quote from you, put it out of context and try and argue that you have the same viewpoint as Skybird, when in fact, the quote is from you stating what you believe to be Skybirds viewpoint.
Again, it undermines your point when you take apart other peoples links in detail and yet refuse to cite your own. It makes you look hypocritical. |

Always. I've apologized to so many people so many times it would be wrong of me to do otherwise to someone else. As someone once said to me, it shows real class. It also helps us get to know one another, which to me is the real reason we're here.
