That’s his MO, fling shit and then vacuum it up.
He’s done that about a dozen times that I’m personally aware of. The only way to guard against it is to quote his posts when you reply.
I don’t see how telling someone to calm down is a core argument of the bad faith argument. Judging from Starlight’s responses he is in fact freaking out and I would have to agree with Timex that he should calm down.
Plus ninja editing posts in an discussion should earn you an immediate disqualification.

Just toss him on ignore. I mean I’ve had him there forever for this very reason. Even reading the thread without his input you can understand the whole conversation from just Timex’s posts.
And for shits and giggles I DID go back and read the original confusing post. It made no fucking sense at all in the context of anything.
…ahem, and just what should Israel have done instead? ;)
I personally think they should just be nicer to those they live near, which granted is hard when they want to destroy you, but those are the radicals, and most of the normal everyday folk just want to live their lives, same world over (if you travel and have a look). And the more you right by those kind of folk the more you win.
The problem with the heavy handed approach (you harm one of us and we harm 10 of you) is it is ultimately self defeating and you condemn your people and your cause to eternal war, rather than putting all your energy in actually ‘building’ your society up. You just drag it all down until it collapses under it’s own weight of hate and fury (see the rise of nearly all dictatorships and terrible regimes in the world). Israel and the Jewish people deserve better than that imho.
Keep screaming I must be using your AMEIKAN MO, as usual, as you demand I submit to bad faith argument.
Destarius, your post is no different, as you fight for the position you and Timex hold.
ShivaX - Yes, the entire bad faith argument you endorse can be understood from Timex’s posts - no need to read any other arguments, ever, because he’s the American and hence in the right for you, always -keep slinging shit (Hi Mike!) and giggling though!
Keep making this about anything but your bad faith arguments, you’ll allow no others. Screw Microsoft, Ireland, etc.
Unfortunately, Hamas seized power in Gaza.
And yes, they both trashed much of Gaza’s infrastructure, and their tactics of missile barrages was self-defeating, since it’s inspired Israel to build defenses.
Meanwhile, there’s been a smaller swing in the January polls than I expected - 4 to 5 seats - but that still reverses the momentum leftwards in polling. Thanks, Abbas.
Since when was the discussion actually about Microsoft and Ireland? In post #3590 (below), you make a reference to an Ireland case involving Microsoft, without elaborating. Timex then expresses a desire for clarification in post #3591.
No explanation is forthcoming, and the next and final reference to Ireland and data centers comes in post #3603 (below). Note that this post was edited a day and a half later, and while I cannot back up the claim, I do not recall the original content of the post making direct reference to either.
And as I review the last few pages of the thread, it appears to me that the majority of your posts going back to #3580 on 1/3 have been altered significantly on 1/6, between 11:55am and 12:04pm. Regardless of content, do you genuinely expect someone to attempt an honest engagement of discussion with you with this behavior? That seems spectacularly dishonest.

I’m not even arguing any side here. I was trying to read your post and don’t understand it at all. Then you insist that it makes sense despite what everyone tells you. Then you ninja edit it.
Now you’re just taking the position that anyone who disagrees with you must either be American and/or arguing in bad faith. Pot kettle black etc.
Why would I believe you? You’re defending a bad faith argument, saying that a few Americans are “everyone”, showing that you are in fact strongly on Timex’s side. And then you accuse me of something - although almost certainly not being American - because I am not American.
Anonymgeist - Because it was relevant. And I don’t expect your bad faith argument to be taken seriously, no, as you hate on me for not being American - you’re whining, in fact, because I refused to spinelessly submit to your agenda of American exceptionalism. You are, indeed, spectacularly dishonest. Come back when you’ve emigrated, at least from your current stance on other counties being subservient to America.
And what, exactly, is my argument?
You’re showing another classic bad faith tactic - you’ve come into the thread, taken a very clear side and then…

Dude, nothing that you’re saying here is actually happening.
What do you even think the “bad faith argument” even is? You’re not being clear about ANYTHING at this point. You’re just freaking out.
I’m not saying this to make fun of you or something, but because your perception isn’t matching up with anything anyone else is perceiving. And you seem to be mistaking that confusion for some kind of malevolence.
Why do you think that everyone is “hating on you for not being American”? Literally no one is doing that. There are tons of folks who are posting here who aren’t American.
That’s right, I never said anything, never made any argument. I’m not allowed to as a non-American, that I dare challenge your Lordship means I’m automagically “freaking out”, as again…not American.
I’m mocking you, numbskull, as you repeatedly try and make fun of me, demanding that as a non-American I can’t see what Americans see, as you try and handwave away what you said.
You keep claiming Americans are not American, though, thinking of it as a nationality rather than your mindset.
Anonymgeist - You show you’re determined to support Timex and smokescreen the topic. As usual.

Ok man. You are fucking insane.

Just wanted to quote this one for posterity.
HOLY SHIT, YOU ALREADY EDITED IT.
I posted on 6 January saying I didn’t understand you either. I haven’t been in this thread or argued anything for EONS. You are truly fucking insane.
edit: Dropping Starlight as a person worthy of reply.
It’s the “As usual.” that I love. I could count on one hand the number of times I’ve posted in P&R prior to this thread, and I don’t recall ever having actually taken a side in any of the discussions.
I stand corrected–it looks like I’ve actually posted in eight other P&R threads.
