Zwitek, that was evil and I'm jealous I didn't think of it first.

Jon won't care, unless they 100% agree with his preconceived notions. He'll come up with some absurd reason why your information is not credible (most likely related to the fact that the engineer/maintenance guy/guy who personally designed the flume isn't a Disney spokesman and is just speculating), and keep repeating it until we give up or the internet burns out, whichever comes first. It's like . . .

>>let's throw politics and religion into this discussion<<

. . . trying to convince a conservative that global warming is real.

Don't speak for me. You don't know me from dirt.

I know you quite well just from reading this topic.

True, but your online persona is rather predictable

I'd just like to say at this point that my diminished presence in this (and other) threads are in no way meant to indicate my giving up on the discussion. Rather, it is out of respect to those who would rather discuss Disney than see two old farts bicker. Daily I'm learning more about jon and how he thinks, how he attacks, how he responds to measured and rational discourse. I'm sure I'll keep on trying, but there comes a point where continuing in a public forum just isn't fair to everyone else.

Oh, and jon - now it's time for you to tell everyone how stupid I am, and how I'm only making myself look foolish.

Yes. Actually, I don't know if you're stupid, just unable to do anything other than be insulting. That is very sad for you. You plainly have been reading nothing of what I wrote here, and are not contributing anything other than petty comments.

The fact is, if this Deano person can get some real information about this, that would be great. I said this in my reply to him, and thanked him for it.

And the fact is I may be predictable. Simply, I don't change my mind based on really dumb comments and insults. Yes, that is predictable. I see no reason to alter my viewpoint unless and until there is good reason to. Being insulted and told I'm this or that does not do it.

If Deano can get some information about this, then maybe it'll be worth discussing. Until then, the comments I am seeing here are pretty pathetic in their attempts at...lord knows what. Other than trying to insult.

This is certainly not measured or rational discourse. That is the last thing I've been seeing here. A series of ad hominen attacks is not a rational discourse, and it is laughable to think that you believe it is.

Insult all you want. It only shows your limitations.


In the meantime, my predictability is going to tell you that unless you start showing a shred of actual reason and evidence for you ideas, they really don't hold water. If you can't back up what you are saying with anything other than "you're a taco short of a combo plate" then you've got no reason to either expect me to change my view or respect what you are saying.

It's so hard to keep all of the insults straight, jon. But not only did I NOT talk about tacos or plates, I actually said that Deano was somewhat out of line with that comment. And I believe he later apologised.

It doesn't matter if you said that particular one or not, you said many others and have continued to do so.

And yes, he has apologized, and appears to be acting like an adult. The rest of you should be embarassed.

See, here I go, getting drawn back in again. So this is me, trying to not respond to silliness.
