First, I lol'd.

Second: the problem is, he don't really treat it as "his opinion" does he? Plus we keep asking the dude to define what he's saying or we can't even understand what his point is. He hasn't.

For all the claims and opinion, either you put your money where your mouth is and elaborate or explain what you mean, or dump into the "It's my opinion!" bin and we can all safely ignore/move on without thinking too much about it.

I don't see how it's rude to expect people to stand behind their opinions and explain what they mean with them. Otherwise, why bother stating them? Specially opinions which WILL gear a lot of criticism.

And I also don't see how it's hypocritical. I may have an opinion too, but I attempted to elaborate and explain what I meant with it, including how and why I disagreed with what he said.

The points I raised were not addressed and clearly he's avoided answering the simple "What do you mean with this?" questions. Specially when concerning "talent" and "genius" which are two terms that NEED to be defined CLEARLY in context with what is being said. Bringing up a dictionary definition which has no connection to what is being talked about doesn't work.

And, if you remember the other thread where this guy also went on about talent and shit, it was the exact same story. It's impossible to have any sort of communication when I have to assume half of what he's trying to say which obviously leads into problems.

So it's just a repeat from that time. Obviously, it's pointless to talk about it since he's unwilling to cooperate in at least trying to explain what he's talking about to a degree that is understandable.

But well. I guess I'm rude and hypocritical, LOL.

It does try my patience to invest in this nonsense, which is why I said I shouldn't have bothered.
