Why look! More argumentation and drama. From a new, anonymous account. How could I ever have guessed? Oh, maybe like this: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19

...is your theory that only non-anonymous persons are allowed to disagree? I am not anonymous - you never asked me my name.

My heuristic is that non-anonymous persons get more conversational leeway. I'm more willing to invest time in conversations with people who have invested in their identity.

Your current level of argumentative dickishness would probably disqualify you as a useful interlocutor for me regardless of how much you stand behind your words. E.g., the "you never asked me my name" bullshit. So I'm done with you.

You sound like a teenage girl throwing a tantrum. Am I supposed to care you "done" with me?
