if they get offended for being wrong, then it's a lesson they really need to learn!

Who are you to teach such a lesson?

Also you are again avoiding the questions. Why do you avoid my questions? Do you find them difficult to answer? (I'll answer that for you: Yes you do, because actions speak louder than words! The question is why do you find them difficult to answer?)

i'm not sure

Maybe you should explore that for yourself!

it's not like correcting people on the internet is my only pursuit!

Nor did I claim as such.

but typically the result of a discussion is that MULTIPLE people know more than when it started! so it seems like a great way to increase knowledge not only for yourself but for others as well!

Ah, but is that really your intention or a pleasant byproduct? It is your intentions I seek to learn about!

it absolutely is!

And where does that challenge get you?

In my experience it results in confrontation, and when humans feel confronted they get defensive! How many productive conversations result out of defensiveness? After all, you are aiming for some kind of productive result, right?

you're really pointing out how YOU PERCEIVE them to be wrong!

Am I?

maybe your perceptions are out of whack

Perception is reality. My perception is my reality! You as the speaker must take responsibility for what you allowed me to perceive!

this thread sucks now

Don't read it then! I will have to report your post for trolling!

What are you hoping to gain out of stating such a thing? The only thing I can think of is attention! Well, you got it! But any negative comments in the future will receive no such thing from me; instead I shall just report them!

I created this topic so I shall do what I wish with it.

 

[tarheeljks]

i should have been more clear and said subjective statements, not just statements

And I am questioning what they are taught!

In my experience eschewing such qualifications implicitly teaches that their opinions are the only valid opinions. All that serves to do, again imo, is to attach people to said opinions! Sheridan Z mentioned that people tend to consider their individual opinions on matters as part of their self; this is exactly why if you ask me!

if anything, noting that thoughts represent opinions in this manner would increase attachment via reinforcement of possession, but that's a different discussion. i can't argue with your experience, but i don't see why this need be true in a general sense. many statements are inherently/obviously subjective. such statements are by definition opinions not facts, so further clarification using phrases like "i think" isn't necessary, though it can be useful

Implied to whom? To the person saying it or to the person they are speaking to?

both parties. in most styles of (formal) debate it is understood that w/e you say will be interpreted as an opinion unless it is purely objective.

Again, to whom?

not sure what you mean here

The best way to make that understood? To clearly state as such! So thank you for doing so. =)

well my point is that it is already understood, or can be, due to the definitions of opinion and fact


edit: also, you were nitpicking pretty severely. i don't see how his statement can be viewed as a statement of fact

 

[Adam M!]

I accept your apology!

Is that a fact?

i can't argue with your experience

Nor am I asking you to!

but i don't see why this need be true in a general sense.

Does anything need be true?

many statements are inherently/obviously subjective.

Is that a fact?

so further clarification using phrases like "i think" isn't necessary, though it can be useful

Says who? Specify!

both parties. in most styles of (formal) debate it is understood that w/e you say will be interpreted as an opinion unless it is purely objective.

Who says this is "(formal) debate"?

not sure what you mean here

Then ask me!

well my point is that it is already understood

To whom?

Is this conversation not proving otherwise?

edit: also, you were nitpicking pretty severely.

Is that a fact?

To me I was merely asking questions!

i don't see how his statement can be viewed as a statement of fact

Why don't you ask?

 

[pockyD]

Who are you to teach such a lesson?

Also you are again avoiding the questions. Why do you avoid my questions? Do you find them difficult to answer? (I'll answer that for you: Yes you do, because actions speak louder than words! The question is why do you find them difficult to answer?)

i'm not the one teaching them the lesson! it's the cruel harsh world!

if you touch a stove and burn yourself, did the stove teach you a lesson? no! science did!

Maybe you should explore that for yourself!

Nor did I claim as such.

I do! But just because I experiment with one approach does not mean I should abandon another!

Ah, but is that really your intention or a pleasant byproduct? It is your intentions I seek to learn about!

Actions (and consequently, results) are all that matter! Even the worst of people had the best of intentions!

And where does that challenge get you?

it doesn't get me anywhere unless the person being challenged has a useful response! the real motivation is that it should get the challengee a new insight into the subject! it's not all about me!

In my experience it results in confrontation, and when humans feel confronted they get defensive! How many productive conversations result out of defensiveness? After all, you are aiming for some kind of productive result, right?

I'm not here to coddle! If they're not ready or not accepting of my approach, it's their loss!

You will never learn anything new if you are unwilling to have your existing notions challenged!

Am I?

yes!

Perception is reality. My perception is my reality! You as the speaker must take responsibility for what you allowed me to perceive!

But unless you explain the basis of your perception, I cannot understand why they are out of alignment with mine! Of course I perceive my own statements exactly the way I meant, since i formulated the statement based on my perception! If your perception is different, there is no way for me to know unless you tell me!

 

[goosefactor]

this thread sucks now

Is this merely your opinion, or is this a fact? What you perceive as sucking is highly subjective and not absolute. Take responsibility for what you communicate, Luke.

 

[DanteFox]

da proof is in da pudding.

 

[Adam M!]

Kevin, now I feel you're just being pedantic. You disappoint me.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! Thank you guys!

 

[pockyD]

Kevin, now you're just being pedantic. You disappoint me.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! Thank you guys!

The underlying question of our back-and-forth was something to the effect of "why are so pedantic?"! Of course I am being pedantic in such a discussion! Sorry to disappoint you though!

 

[Adam M!]

Sorry to disappoint you though!

Actions speak louder than words.

Your apology is not accepted!

 

[pockyD]

interestingly, on smashboards, there are no actions! only words!

 

[Gishnak]

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

I know this is a commonly used expression, but its merit is questionable. Imitation is often not meant as flattery, and is certainly not the sincerest form of it.

 

[Adam M!]

Actions speak louder than words!

 

[The Greater Leon]

Only because you perceive it as sucking!

AhAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[DJMirror]

interestingly, on smashboards, there are no actions! only words!

There's actions on smashboards: You troll, ignore, put people in your ignore list, praise, **** ride, argue, reason, talk, report to mods or just don't go on to this thread.


Simple.

 

[Adam M!]

Jason Lam bringing the heat!

[ZodiakLucien]

he was my first idol when I started picking up the game. He was the reason I started out using green fox.

 

['Fro]

Kitsune taught me (and still does) the layers of depth there are to this game. I wish pharmacy wasn't so much ****, because then he wouldn't be trapped here the way he is.

 

[kirkq]

He is constrained only by his own limitations.

No johns.

 

[Little England]

I played the Fox today. He's at LEAST as good as Lucky. Most of you won't believe it, but that's not an uncommon theme so oh wells. lol

 

[mio]

Does Adam's retirement from smash include posting on smashboards as well?

 

[omgwtfToph]

It doesn't include posting on youtube. Not that I'm complaining lol.
