I'm pretty sure most of you are aware that I would argue with a stump, right?
Whatever the subject is, I probably have some sorta opinion on the matter. An opinion I feel strongly enough about to argue over.
If I don't, I'll make one up in a jiffy, and wade right in. That's just the kinda knucklehead I am.

| *Y U so stumpy? ANSWER ME!* |
When it comes to 'real life' arguments, I'm fairly mature about the whole thing (shhhh! Don't you judge me...this is my post and I'll tell it as I see fit).
Eventually it'll dawn on me that the stump simply isn't gonna comply, and I'll throw my hands up and say 'whatevs, stump.'
Like most adults, I'm acutely aware that it's nearly impossible to change someone's mind (much less a stump's), and it's usually less frustrating and more productive to just...meet in the middle somewhere.
That's 'real life,' though. We all know there's no middle ground on the Internet.
For sure, our hobby on the Internet is very srs bzns, right?
-_-
Man, I sure love a good argument, though...and this includes the Internet.
If I'm being honest, I'm not likely to ever 'out-debate' the likes of Purgatus, Stelek, Frontline or the Stump, though. (not for lack of trying, believe you me).
They're all pretty much smarter than me (this includes the stump), so...why do I do it?
 |
| *Sure, they look all sad and whatnot....I'M NOT BUYIN' IT, STUMP!* |
I'll tell you why I do it....cuz I'm a knucklehead.
I'm a knucklehead who loves this dumb hobby, and I have strong opinions about...this or that totally inconsequential thing, or whatever.
I make no claims to rhyme nor reason, or anything remotely resembling logic. I dinna care.
I don't care if anyone thinks I'm a fool (I frequently am), or if I don't make sense (I rarely do), or anything like that. I just care about...well, whatever that totally inconsequential thing is.
I mean, really...where is it written that I have to make sense?
:P
I kinda just wanna participate, I guess. I wanna jump in the conversation with my own two cents. I get all cocky sometimes, and think I know a lil' sumpthin'-sumpthin'....
I don't. I'm an ass.
Sigh...waddayagonnado?
Try to remember that these things are totally inconsequential, and that these are just opinions, amirite?
Another reason I suppose I do it is because somehow, someway, I'm convinced I can make a difference.
Well, not me, per say, but us. The people debating these totally inconsequential things, here on the Internet. You'd have to be blind not to see the Internet's influence over our hobby nowadays, and being the dumbass I am, I wanna make sure my dumbass voice is heard.
Nyah.

| *Oh yeah? Well I know a stump that says different* |
There was a time, not too long ago, when the general consensus seemed to be that we, the people debating these inconsequential things here on the Internet, didn't matter. That there was some vast, silent majority out there that never visited hobby blogs, ever, and somehow dictated what happens in our hobby, and when.
I'd argue that's not the case anymore...but I wonder if that 'vast, silent majority' really ever existed, anyhow.
...I guess I'll never know, right? Cuz they're silent an' all....

| *You could hear a pin drop* |
And so, when I see something somewhere that doth offend my multiple, stalked, ocular appendages, I'll maybe argue.
...
...
...Ok, I'll prolly argue.
Not for the sake of being disagreeable, but because I think there may be some merit in doing so. I know readers scroll down and read the comments (that's part of the fun, right?), and sometimes, the best part of a post is in the comments, actually...and a lil' argument can be fun.
;)
As long as the thread doesn't dissolve into name calling, some good may come of it, I think. Something may be learned.
I could be wrong, y'know.
...
...
Ok, I'm prolly wrong.
I'm a perfectly reasonable being. I can admit when I'm wrong (which is usually). I'm not a total dumbass.
Sigh...maybe the stump would disagree.
...
He'd prolly disagree.

| *Who cares what you think, anyway? You're a stump!* |
These totally inconsequential things are important, on some level. Granted, it's a weird lil' freaky level that maybe no one but us cares about anyhow, but hey, I got somethin' to say about it (the stump is unsurprised).
If I don't participate, clearly the whole thing would go to hell, and the vast, silent majority wouldn't do a damn thing about it.
-_-
Blah.
I can't have that happening, now can I?
So next time Purgatus posts some wacky 'Double Tyrant' Tyranid list, you can bet I'll fight him to the death about it, here on the Internet.
It's for the good of the hobby, after all.
:)
Until next time, folks- Exit with catchphrase!
