How does this communication strategy work out for you generally?

What are you looking for here?

You edited your first post because, in your own words, you didn't want to be a jerk. Hence you did the first insult. When kstar replied to me, she called me a dick (perhaps why her fiance dumped her - an attitude she has exhibited in multiple threads on multiple topics from USC football to politics). I believe that pretty much shuts down your argument on insulting. Regardless, insulting has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

The topic was saving money by paying in cash. Here's another way to make money. You have someone kill the person you owe money to. A bullet is really cheap actually. You didn't pull any trigger so you didn't commit a crime. Oh wait, you may just have. Again, the reason why people are so willing to accept cash is to cheat on taxes. It's a crime. I just gave you that information. Here's another analogy. Someone in the Congo cuts off a 12 year old boy's hand, enslaves his older brother to work in a diamond mine, then uses the diamonds to buy more machetes to cut more hands. You can get these blood diamonds at a substantial discount. 20% even maybe.

You made some ridiculous remark, realized you were wrong, said you weren't an expert, and instead of shutting up at that point you kept going with it. Do you think that perhaps now is the time to shutup?

If honeychile actually believes she's a good Christian, I'm sure she won't go around being an advocate of such a heinous act.

If you've got even an ounce of intelligence in you, you'll shutup now.

My original jerky remark was returning the favor of your having called me retarded in another thread about ugly flip-flops. Did you even see the unedited version? By your standards, I don't it even would have made an impression.
But even so, it's hard to think that my deletion of a rude comment somehow invalidates the fact that you're insulting as your basic MO on GC. Work it out as a syllogism and see. There's no way to arrive at that conclusion logically, is there?

I still don't think my original suggestion that a business might like cash upfront for reasons other than tax evasion was ridiculous. (I concede that I have no idea what percentage of business prefer cash up front strictly because they want to avoid taxes, but I bet you don't either.)

Nor did I at any time defend tax evasion.

It's interesting on a scale of pure outrageousness that you've tried to make avoiding paying taxes morally equivalent to committing murder and perpetrating violence in the diamond trade, but I'm sure your logical and thoughtful presentation convinced everyone reading the thread. Surely you must also believe that going 10 miles over the speed limit on the highway is just like selling heroin to school children.

I'm going to pretend I don't see any of your comments in the future and we'll both be happier.

Another thread on flip flops has nothing to do with this one. Flip flops has nothing to do with tax fraud. Got it? Good. Concluded? great.

So you're saying you don't know about something but that you're right? When do you ever back down? There are numerous ways to pay upfront. People prefer cash to keep it off the books. You said you don't know about it so please just shutup already and stop commenting.

What's outrageous is you have no concept of what an analogy is. I didn't say paying with cash is akin to murder. You did because you have difficulty understanding what an analogy is. Obviously you're not the brightest. Whether that's nurture or nature, I don't know. Honestly I don't care.

Please put me on ignore bumpkin.

I didn't call you a dick, I said you were being a dick. (Which means you were acting like one.)

On another subject, my current boyfriend and ex-fiance broke up with me at one time due to the stress of law school, his MBA program and working 30 hour weeks while I was stressing out about applying to vet schools. Once he realized he made a mistake, he decided to try to reverse the action.

However, bringing that up when it had nothing to do with the subject at hand is continuing to act like a dick. My attitude has everything to do with the fact that you are consistently insisting that small business owners, waiters, or anyone that is in a lower socio-economic strata than you are not worth your time or theives (and I can't help that your views on politics are wrong.)

So you insulted me? something you've done in a lot of threads to a lot of people.

So you were dumped? got it.

So you don't know what you're talking about and are now bringing politics into this when it has nothing to do with it?
