overly verbose statements

overly verbose statements, eloquently stated are artistry, akin to bourbon’s adaptability. gotta admire the intellects behind the debates.

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

When two parties are in a discussion and one makes a claim that the other disputes, the one who makes the claim typically has a burden of proof to justify or substantiate that claim especially when it challenges a perceived status quo

So, why are you asking my to show proof when I asked you to, and you refused?

[Fyarsing-sargeras]

@Itoldyouso-illidan

This is why you are upset? Why are you not haranguing Valarian whenever he points out random observations about the game? Smells like a double standard there.

It wouldn’t have devolved into a haranguing session if Bourbon would’ve just answered the question the first time I asked it, instead of the fifteenth.

@Itoldyouso-illidan

…
That isn’t how you use the word conclusory.

You’re right – so substitute “conclusive” in for “conclusory”, and then the statement reads appropriately.

@Itoldyouso-illidan

Point to the statement suggesting you are out of place. Unless, of course, this is just your habit of using words inappropriately getting out of control.

It’s a suggestion made by implication – you’ve done the internet forum equivalent of walking into a public event, hosted by a particular group, and telling anybody there that if they don’t like listening to your opposing views they should leave.

You’re completely allowed to behave this way, of course, but none of this paints a wholesome picture of your motivation for posting herein – you’re just the type of person who derives joy from opposing things that other people request, in the most vitriolic manner possible, and finding every opportunity to deride said people.

Adaptability? I havent even changed my argument. This was cute the first time, but now you are coming off as mean-spirited.

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

It wouldn’t have devolved into a haranguing session if Bourbon would’ve just answered the question the first time I asked it, instead of the fifteenth.

Because you said you read the entire post length, so I figured either you were trying to either get a rise out of me or you actually needed medical attention.

[Lannisteros-proudmoore]

This perfectly and articulately summarizes my opinion as well.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

So, why are you asking my to show proof when I asked you to, and you refused?

Because the claim is yours.
You are the one that needs to prove that the RPG fed into the Encyclopedia.

That’s a total false claim that you need to prove. I don’t have to prove it’s false, it’s you that need to back up your statement with evidence that proves it true.

Or else any outlandish claim, like “Chris Metzen is an alien” would require people to have to prove it false before it’s doubted.

You make the claim, you prove it.

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

Because the claim is yours.

But you also make a claim. So why do you not have the burden of proof when you are making a counter-claim?

If you have the gotcha, then just show it. There would be no reason for this pompous stance if you didnt have it. Youre trying to buy time, and push burden of proof on me when you made the recent claim.

[Hypêrspace-dalaran (Hypêrspace)]

sorry, bourbon. will avoid noticing your strong points. hehe.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

I contested your claim. Now prove it.

BTW, where’s the source for the Stormwind claim? You still failed to show it.

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

I contested your claim.

With what evidence? You dont have anything and its obvious. Stop stalling and show your evidence how Im lying.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

With what evidence?

“There’s a teapot, too small to be seen by telescopes, orbiting the Sun somewhere in space between the Earth and Mars. Prove me wrong.”

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

“There’s a teapot, too small to be seen by telescopes, orbits the Sun somewhere in space between the Earth and Mars. Prove me wrong.”

I dont own a telescope. So sure, it could be there.

[Fyarsing-sargeras]

With what evidence?

This is the problem.

You’ve made an assertion, Alamara questioned it – burden of proof requires that you prove you’re correct, not that Alamara proves you’re wrong.

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

This is the problem.

You’ve made an assertion, Alamara questioned it – the concept of burden of proof requires that you prove you’re correct, not that Alamara proves you’re wrong.

No, the burden of proof would be on her since shes claiming I am lying. Since the Encyclopedia was good enough evidence before right now.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

Go discuss with Bertrand Russell, then.

Russell's teapot

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

Go discuss with Bertrand Russell, then.

I dont care, show me the proof of me lying. Stop stalling. I know you are frantically looking through the Encyclopedia finding that ‘gotcha’ right now.

[Itoldyouso-illidan]

Please do not insult my intelligence thank you.

You are intelligent, yes. You are, however, dishonest in your observations too.

overly verbose statements, eloquently stated are artistry, akin to bourbon’s adaptability. gotta admire the intellects behind the debates.

Why use many words when few better?

It wouldn’t have devolved

That is not what I asked.
If your issue are random observations about the game. Why do you not harangue other individuals who do it constantly?.
The answer is simple.
They want high elves as well. You don’t have an actual issue with it. You simply wish to grief those who oppose you on the high elf position.

You’re right

A rare admittance of error.

It’s a suggestion made by implication

Nope. It is suggestion based on an assumption. The implication is not present at all.
“If you don’t like it, leave.” Is a direct, confrontational statement. It literally states it. If you dislike what you see, then bounce. Otherwise, you will need to contend with there being something you dislike.

And before you attempt to explain

I have not ever made such an argument in the past, and considering I have always stood by the stance of a public forum being subject to public debate, the implication here is that you wish me to go to a different thread. Such an implication is supported, as you have repeatedly stated your desire for moderators to remove those with whom you disagree.

[Hypêrspace-dalaran (Hypêrspace)]

i think where ever you see a high elf on alliance, ingame, you can assume any number of additional high elves exist simultaneously, from 1 to 1000s. however, ion has stated the high elves of the alliance are being absorbed into the cultures where they live (et. al, perhaps its better stated when a high elf is seen, assume any number of additonal half elves exist simultaneously, from 1 to 1000s.)
