[quote name=\'CaseyAbell\' date=\'Mar 22 2005, 09:38 AM\']I don't know what the bowling-buddy metaphor is supposed to be, and I don't care. But I don't expect anybody to believe anything I say unless I provide some supporting evidence.

Please demonstrate your supporting evidence of the claim that saying "I also posted this on some other board" is proper netiquette. My claim to the contrary is based on many years of using the Internet and a variety of discussion groups -- online experience which I daresay is a great deal more extensive than yours.
Of course, in the past you've claimed to know more about the behind-the-scenes machinations at
Hollywood Squares and
Pyramid than did the people who actually worked on the shows, so this arrogance is hardly surprising.
In this thread my critics have provided no facts, strange metaphors and personal attacks.
Saying that you run with the "bowling buddy crowd" was uncalled for, and I corrected melman on it. It's true that your repeated intentional distortions of what other people say -- just so you can have an argument to shoot down -- are neither strange metaphors nor personal attacks. However, neither is calling you on your repeated intentional distortions; of course, calling you on them
is stating a fact. (Can I read your mind as to intent? No, but said distortions happen way too often on your part to be accidental.)
I personally don't care if, when making a comment here, you want to point out other boards where you made the same comment. But hiding behind a cowpie explanation like "netiquette" will get you nowhere.
I'll let others decide who's contributing more here.
It certainly isn't the extremely arrogant individual who's clearly intelligent enough to make a cogent argument, yet -- for some bizarre reason known only to himself -- decides to invent straw-man arguments to attack instead.
