What can I say, I'm a masochist.
Anyway on the shit slinging scale this convo has been rather cordial, I think. Aestu and I have been arguing over several issues and I feel just fine (insert Aestu comment: "ignorance is bliss")
By your logic, no one on these forums should ever respond to Aestu's posts. We ALL know what he's like, but many still respond to him. I'm just the worst offender by a long shot.
I've said my piece so I shall bow out of this thread. Aestu is plain wrong about business/capitalism. But if the world changes because of him
No. You engage me in debate because you want to pretend you have knowledge and legitimate views.
Resorting to "I should never have engaged him," or "you don't know" (despite the fact that I frequently point to actual, specific facts pulled from my general knowledge, rather than talking in vague generalizations or selective Googling of editorials, suggesting that I do in fact know quite a bit), is just sour grapes.
It's no different than the short kid who challenges a taller kid to a footrace then cries cheater.

Nah. A lot of people get blindsided by change. You'll construct some sort of rationalization and move on with your little life.
