The reason you are uncivilized is not because you are unwilling to be civilized. The reason you are uncivilized is because you cannot be civilized.
Ooohhh, now it all makes sense.
And the reason you cannot be civilized is because you cannot endure the high standards of civility.
What are the “high standards of civility”
You never really are civilized. Not only with me, but with pretty much anyone else.
You are timid and meek. That’s what you are. Don’t confuse that with civility. You don’t know what civility is.
So civility means to be uber like you?
Is this your idea of civilized:

The only difference between the manner in which you interact with me and others is the fact that I aggravate you thus forcing you to drop your standards even further and become a troll.
I’m inclined to say, Mr. Anderson, that this whole tangent you have us on is one big troll attempt on your part. You call people imbeciles, retards, and assholes for misunderstanding you. If that’s not trolling, I don’t know what is. The real difference between you and I is you seem to troll out of sheer anger.
The moment things become difficult, you become a troll.
It’s more that this is how I’ve learned to deal with other trolls.
You are a troll by necessity, not by choice. Everything else is a lie you need to tell yourself.
My namecalling is not a defense mechanism, it’s a strategy I use to limit other people’s evasiveness. A weak one compared to a club, but nonetheless a strategy.
So you insult me to keep me from evading the topic, yet here I am asking to get back to the topic and you refuse.
What you do, on the other hand, is nothing but a defense mechanism meant to reduce the pressure.
Actually, the easiest way to reduce the pressure is to just quit. I stick around because trolling is fun.
You evade, I confront. You reduce the pressure, I increase the pressure.
Oh, man, the pressure. I might turn into a diamond here.
There is a massive difference.
I am very sorry for crushing your hopes that I am merely defending my own ego.
Yeah, 'cause it was just that easy.
Moron, ← Did you just get angry? I am not defending my ego, I am offending your ego. You know those are often the same, right? I am attacking.
I am interested in dealing with issues, you on the other hand are not.
I’m dealing with you, ain’t I?
You are a wuss.
The only way to drive a car with safety is by making sure they are not broken. Why do you think it’s dangerous to have a discussion with me? Thus, if they are broken, you want to fix them before you drive the them.
And how’s that going for you?
Of course, you can drive them without fixing them, but that would be unintelligent.
It’s the same with you. It would be unintelligent to continue this discussion without first addressing every one of your faults.
What do you mean, like something bad’s gonna happen to me?
You want to paint a picture of me being unable to return to the topic.
Yeah, and you’re making it very easy for me.
But I am capable of doing so, it’s just that I do not want to. I do not want to because it would be unintelligent.
So you’re willingly be uncivilized but I’m not.
You want to make it look as if I am asking for an apology so that my hurt feelings can be assuaged.
I don’t have to make it look that way.
But is a man who is trying to fix his car trying to make his car apologize to him for making him suffer? Or is he simply trying to correct the faults so that he can drive his car safely?
That is, without a doubt, the absolute worst analogy I’ve ever heard.
What do you think, Gib?
See what you’re forcing me to do? Treat you like a little baby.
I thought you said you were choosing.
The mlore you try to defend yourself, the deeper you will dig yourself into the ground. Then it woulf become literally impossible for you to look yourself in the mirror, acknowledge your faults and correct them. Most likely, you will remain a reality denying freak that you are.
I’ve seen more realities than your little walnut of brain can handle.
I am not irresponsible. You are. It’s pointless to turn the tables. You would just reinforce the idea you’re a dismissive fool.
What do I care what ideas I’m reinforcing? In who’s head anyway? Yours? Onlookers?
You are not merely failing to understand what I am saying. You are lying to yourself that you understand me. Actually, I don’t think there is anything to understand. It’s a bunch of hot air. You are not realistic about how much – or rather, how little – you understand me.
Hey, I can easily admit I don’t understand you. I don’t think many people can. I doesn’t help that you won’t get back on topic, and it doesn’t help when you use these obscure definitions, and even your name calling doesn’t help–yes, it actually hinders the listeners ability to understand you.
There is no excuse for this. There is even less excuse for your subsequent effort – a marathon effort – to evade responsibility for your original misbehavior.
Fagot, you are quite simply not paying sufficient attention. Don’t argue with me. Face it.
Trolling does require paying attention, just not taking you seriously.
I am being real, not sexist. You really are a woman.
You mean metaphorically, right?
You are turning yourself into the subject by the fact that you are broken.
I thought we’ve been over this? You admitted that you were making me into the subject (with an excuse). You’re not forgetting now, are you?
And once again, you are trying to distract yourself from my point by appealing to lexical imprecisions.
Ah, lexical imprecision… right, that thing.
What an utter imbecile.
The ones who rule are not necessarily powerful. A man stuck in a room with a monkey that has a gun is not less powerful than the monkey even though the monkey is ruling in that particular situation. That’s only one example.
That’s a terrible example. If the monkey is ruling by way of the gun, that makes him more powerful than the man. Or is this one of those situations where I’m supposed to ask you what you mean (even though you’ll probably call me an imbecile for that anyway)? What do you mean by “ruling”? What do you mean by “powerful”? ← Let’s see where we get with that?
The number of mistakes you make every time you post outweighs my capacity to correct them, ← Maybe you should give up. thus it makes it impossible for me to catch up with you. You wanna ride this car, you gotta have what it takes. This is why discussion with people like you is impossible and the only way to deal with you is through physical force.
^ What the hell’s that supposed to mean? You don’t know where I live, do you?
Physical force is the only thing you can understand.
HULK SMASH!!!
You didn’t take any point. The point was thst what is relevant is what I meant, not how words that I use are defined in dictionaries.
And my point was that you have to explain your definitions if you’re using the word in an unconventional way. If you don’t, then it is the other person’s right to point out how your use of the word doesn’t make sense given the conventional definition.
It was pretty clear what I meant by the word “elite”. What was unclear to you, but you didn’t have enough courage to either attempt to clarify on your own or ask for clarification, is how is it possible for the elites – for those who rule – to be something other than powerful.
At what point do we call a spade a spade? When do we get to say: “No, that’s simply wrong.”?
What you did is you made an argument that because elites are by definition powerful they cannot be anything other than powerful.
Yeah, that’s some pretty crazy logic there, in’it?
You wanted to prove me wrong. That’s what you wanted more than anything else. Which is why you rushed to make any kind of argument that gives you at least some hope that you are right and thst I am wrong.
What would it look like if I didn’t want more than anything to prove you wrong? Would I just accept anything you say no matter how ridiculous it sounds?
Your argument is retarded, my friend.
And you, my friend, are retarded.
Instead of trying to understand what it means to be on top of the social hierarchy, you simply went for dictionary definitions.
I didn’t consult a single dictionary. I just pointed out the common definition of the term that everybody understands.
Power =/= being a leader
This is the first time “leader” has entered the picture.
