So, what'd you think? Frankly, the following points come to my mind:
Nightwing is good when it comes to being irreverent, silly, and goofy. He's nearly my equal, and it's always fun to sharpen my wits against him.
Nightwing is an intelligent person whose arguments generally make a great deal of sense, even if you don't agree with them. Unfortunately, this debate was not one of those arguments. In this argument, Nightwing was wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, WRONG. And you can quote me on that, because it's true. He was wrong.
I'm disturbingly good at imitating JG's twisted mutated version of English, and at using his catch phrases, crappy Batman analogies, etc. However, I failed to use the word "diatribe." I'm kinda sorry about that.
Nightwing's opinions, in general, still make a hell of a lot more sense than most other people's opinions. At least he can justify his.
Nightwing and I once tried to discuss this some more. He tried to make his point clear (and succedded somewhat), conceded a point, then quickly left to watch NYPD Blue, thereby avoiding losing the argument. Apparently, Nightwing won't continue a debate once he starts to lose ground.
Everyone post whatever you want about Nightwing. If it bothers him, tell him it's his fault! Hee hee! But, I won't buy that argument, so don't try it on me.
I'm not the most unbiased person in the world when it comes to this discussion.
Yeah, call ME a Communist, will ya... Take that!
So, that's all I have to say about that for now, though I will of course change this as more occurs to me to say, plus there's always the chance that someday Nightwing is going to have some interesting commentes about all of this. Could be interesting...
Oh, I should make one other thing clear: Nightwing and I were not at any point upset with each other over anything in this discussion. We are able to discuss things rationally and accept each other's opinions, even if we disagree on certain matters. I hope you realized that it was all in good natured fun. At no point during this debate did I lose any respect for him, even though his position on this matter is clearly a load of shit. Thank you.
