Haha I like how you always give yourself way more credit than you deserve

How much credit does he deserve?

http://brentroad.com/message_topic.aspx?topic=485359&page=6Can you explain to me how hooksaw doesn't deserve a day in the box after his behavior on page 6 here? He's merely asked to provide some evidence for his claims, and responds like so:
11/28/2007 9:47:34 PM
so terpball gets suspended and hooksaw didn'tawesome
11/28/2007 9:57:30 PM
Seriously, if you're going to enforce these rules, enforce them fairly or don't do it at all.
11/28/2007 10:06:37 PM
See my most recent post in the other thread. Josh isn't the man for this job. Just give it to joe and be done with it. I mean for fucks sake, you have terrible short man syndrome that has blown up a massive ego to not want to give up your moderating powers when you clearly have nothing invested in this section.
11/28/2007 10:13:53 PM
I don't think Duke is a bad guy, I just think his definition of unbiased is probably closer to hooksaw's version than the rest of the world.
11/28/2007 10:15:24 PM
the fact that tree and hooksaw have never been suspended is pretty clear evidence of that

Look, if that's all we're complaining about, I'll go ahead and suspend him for that, but it won't stop there. If you want me to suspend people for making snide remarks, I can do it, but you won't like how it turns out.hooksaw is at least debating and discussing with people. He isn't all that good at it, in my opinion, either in terms of wielding logic and constructing/deconstructing an argument, or especially in terms of style (his style really grates on my nerves, too)...but we can't go suspending people for those things. Not everyone has the capacity to be a Smoker4 in ability and approach.he does also tend to completely flip a bitch when anyone personally attacks him, but I haven't seen him instigating anything, at least in the last few days. If I see it, I'll shitcan him, but that hasn't happened so far.
11/29/2007 1:53:34 AM
^ Well, a snide comment + a snide comment = a comment like Nastoute madeI personally don't take TSB too seriously, so i view the sniping that goes back and forth as part of the game.But, I can definitely see the point people are making that the way we do things around here can scare lots of people, even good people, away.If we want to attract new posters, we all collectively would have to swallow our snide comments. Otherwise, it's just the status quo.
11/29/2007 2:01:26 AM
no, there is a substantial difference between what those two did.
11/29/2007 2:03:50 AM
Huh?I was speaking generally there.
11/29/2007 2:05:56 AM
^^ why is terpball still suspended for such simple, stupid bullshit? unsuspend him and he won't post in the soapbox anymore - jesus christ
11/29/2007 9:47:39 AM
i addressed your question in the chit chat thread.and i'll note that you are ALREADY posting in the soap box under TWO different aliases (which is technically against site policy).
11/30/2007 3:36:54 AM
Well hell -- I'm glad you proved me wrong, Duke. Maybe this section's going to turn around after all.

The thing that frustrates me the most is when someone is trying to debate and the other person refuses to provide any evidence for their argument. hooksaw does this all the time and claims he has a right to his beliefs and such, which he does, but at the same time these are forums for debate and discussion, I could care less what your personal beliefs are unless you're willing to discuss them in an intelligent manner.
11/30/2007 8:39:29 AM
heres my summary of nearly every hooksaw post i've read in the SB:
11/30/2007 9:09:08 AM
11/30/2007 10:38:17 AM
^^^ and the other "perpetual guardians of outrage" Exchanges with me would go a lot better if some of you didn't pretend that you have a corner on the intelligent discussion market. You are not nearly as smart as you think you are.^^
11/30/2007 12:18:06 PM
It's not about being intelligent it's about having a fucking education.There are ways to argue, and ways not to argue. Knowing about them doesn't make you "intelligent" it makes you "informed."
11/30/2007 12:23:02 PM
^ Since I was responding to a specific post, you are fucking clearly uninformed.
11/30/2007 12:48:01 PM
Refusing to provide any evidence and saying you don't have to discuss things because they're your opinion is not 'intelligent discussion.' I wasn't insulting your intelligence, I was saying you were refusing to use it for whatever reasons you have.
11/30/2007 12:55:33 PM
^ Clearly, I was responding to McDanger ^^. And indicating that I refuse to "provide any evidence" is a bold-faced lie and you know it. I always provide evidence--you simply don't like the source, the amount, or disagree with the evidence.
11/30/2007 1:14:21 PM
I agree with hooksaw on this one:

^ Yes, I had the sheer audacity to refer to myself in a paragraph. You have a firm grasp of the obvious.
11/30/2007 3:38:38 PM
^ Please try and keep up.You're claiming that people are attacking you, not the issues, where it's obvious, by your own words, that you feel your posts can only come from someone like you.I'm not sure what you mean by "someone like you" but considering we have several other conservatives here who don't come off as completely brain dead, I take that you mean someone who is extremely arrogant about their point of views, but has no ability to assimilate new information or form logical connections.

^^^ oh wow, hooksaw used a in his post. IMAGINE THAT
11/30/2007 11:14:16 PM
Quit personally attacking him! You'll get hooksaw derangement syndrome!It's like aids.
11/30/2007 11:24:01 PM
there is really only one thing to say to that ^^ [Edited on November 30, 2007 at 11:30 PM. Reason : aw man.]

This seems wholly appropriate to me.
12/4/2007 2:45:16 AM
sweet, taking the trash out of the soap box.
12/4/2007 3:18:51 AM
Haha, it's made sweeter by the fact that he was so confident that he was doing nothing wrong, and that we were the ones that wanted the change, so don't cry when we got suspended.While he continued to troll troll away.
12/4/2007 9:47:06 AM
If theDuke is taking this seriously, then he'll put twista in the box for 2 days for this/message_topic.aspx?topic=471788&page=16#10995096
12/4/2007 11:39:59 AM
(here is the thread in question btw \message_topic.aspx?topic=471788you use multiple names throughout a thread to spread your defeatist pessimism, but i should be suspended for revisiting the thread and calling you out for being wrong for 6 months? riiiiiiiiight
