so if i reply in any way shape or form, then I secretly do want to debate it?
you just won't let it go...
I do not want to debate the future of burning man.
I do want to stop being "epeened"
dude seriously, just stop trying to pick an argument, or making a big deal getting the last word in. If you want the last word, fine, but don't be douchy about it like "aha! i got the last word or you're a liar! I win!"
there's been subtle antagonism in nearly every one of your posts to me.
just chill out a bit.
- first you assumed i was being literal when I wasn't.
- second you assume that i don't know anything about the subject matter.
- third you press onward with a debate about what may or may not happen to burning man many years from now, which is really an entirely theoretical thing to debate, and a desire to debate with me whether things which are non-commercial go commercial... which either you see it that way, or you don't, I'm not going to argue about it.
- forth you tell me I can't reply to you without admitting i was lying about wanting to debate (are you saying you want to debate about whether I want to debate or not?)
You know what? "I want to own a musclecar before they start using GPS to make sure we never break the speed limit"
does a statement like that mean that I am asserting that it is an incontrovertible truth that in the near future the government will use GPS to track traffic movements? No, it doesn't. And it doesn't need to be debated like that's the case.
I made a comment, which was intended as a satire on the general trend of most things "selling out" in the long run.
you took it differently than i intended, and then include some element of antagonism or condescension in every post to me so far. I have NOT responded in kind. I am however, now, pointing out that you're not being very neighborly, and I would ask, sincerely, that you consider it.
If you really want to debate something, I'm game. But drop the condescension, and pick a topic that isn't based on an idle remark which wasn't particularly serious.
