17:06:19 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): Seriously mate
17:06:20 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): stop it.
17:06:20 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): ok?
17:06:29 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): Cos you are winding folks up with this
17:06:55 Draxar/John/(Mr) Pink/Fanor: My remark "So kittens" was mostly a marker of the fact that I'm intending to drop the subject.
17:07:07 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): yes
17:07:14 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): but it takes me saying i m fucked off
17:07:16 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): with you
17:07:53 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): about a topic you said you had no relevant experience with.  Or even concern in.
17:08:04 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): You just like to disagree with me.
17:08:08 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): You need to stop doing it.
17:08:14 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): ok?
17:08:31 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): I respect your opinions.  I back away from your statements.
17:08:38 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): Do me the same courtesy pls
17:09:36 Draxar/John/(Mr) Pink/Fanor: I work on the base assumption that what people say can be challenged and that doing so is not an attempt to attack the person. I disagree with you that I have no relevant experience in – I consider a degree in economics a relevant thing to a discussion of insurance
17:10:05 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): so your degree in "Economics" qualifies you in car insurance?
17:10:06 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): ...
17:10:18 Draxar/John/(Mr) Pink/Fanor: It qualifies me to talk about the economics of insurance
17:10:31 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): look mate
17:11:00 Draxar/John/(Mr) Pink/Fanor: I'm not doing it just because I enjoy disagreeing with you, I'm doing it because when people make absolutist statements, I tend to point out the weaknesses of them, and/or ask them to back them up. And you make absolutist statements a lot.
17:11:01 Draxar/John/(Mr) Pink/Fanor: However
17:11:06 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): if you want an argument with someone which is exactly how you come across, pick somone else pls?
17:11:16 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): No you dont.
17:11:22 Draxar/John/(Mr) Pink/Fanor: There's a very easy way to solve this, I can just entirely and totally stop arguing with you.
17:11:29 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): Awesome
17:12:35 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): Cos this is the 3rd time in a week that you've been the cause of me grinding my teeth and i'd rather you werent.
17:14:35 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): I get the concept that you might not be that socially aware of how your comments come across to someone.  So i've been trying hard not to take it personally.
17:14:50 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): but if you do have an axe to grind with us id rather you were upfront about it
17:15:41 Draxar/John/(Mr) Pink/Fanor: I find the manner in which you argue annoying quite often. I don't have any axe to grind. I'm just very up front about the way I argue – this is rarely a problem for me.
17:16:51 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): Well that may be because, unlike other people - I tend to actually tell people when they are acting out in this manner.
17:17:13 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): so hugs
17:17:14 Draxar/John/(Mr) Pink/Fanor: Might be. Or it might be because it annoys you where it doesn't annoy other people.
17:17:26 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): dont think so
17:17:37 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): i've had to explain your conversation to two other people on channel
17:17:52 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): who pm'd me specifically with the question "is he trying to take the piss out of me?"
17:18:11 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): the other person asked "is he starting?"
17:19:05 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): Im pointing out that - not out of a desire to wind you up, but to point out that you may not be coming across as erudite as you may think ok?
17:19:07 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): *hugs*
17:24:40 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): Sorry mate, but it has been happening to me at least on such a basis that i genuinely thought you were on some kind of man hunt at one point.
17:24:48 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): *fluff*
17:25:11 Richard John Cooper (thegamefinisher@hotmail.co.uk): and it does not get easier when it happens repeatedly  - So hugs and stuff
