Haaahhaaaaahaaaa!!! (Talk about a false perception of reality) That's comically ironic, considering you are the one who tacitly admitted to having a false perception of reality, and then proceeded to demonstrate your false perception of reality by characterizing a post which contained 4 bald-faced lies as "gently trying to help". Are you trying to redefine the word "troll", or is this your unfortunate "false perception of reality" talking again? In any event, I don't start many threads on forums.

From now on please keep comments on task and courteous. Continued inflammatory posting will be met with a personal warning. Beyond that will result in a ban, with the duration in proportion to the offense.

Guess this thread's over. Oh well.
By the by, there's no such thing as reality, so there is no such thing as a false perception thereof.

It seems you have a skewed idea of what constitutes real discourse/argumentation/debate. Simply negating others with your attempted use of "logic" doesn't make your argument stronger, rather, it's very off-putting. You talk about others using logical falacies, yet you yourself commit the same if not more egregious forms of the fallacies by outright dismissing people without even considering your premise is false. Is this civil debate? Not really. Again, just soundslike someone who has a working vocabulary but nothing substative to argue - circular false logic at best. So far in your threads, you've stated a premise, you've use anecdotal evidence (which is spurious at best - no real apllication, just academic), then when someone cross examines your argument (which is lacking in it's data and warrant as seen throughout your posts), you dismiss them as being childish and irrelevant. Great going.

Dude, have you ever heard the phrase "perception is reality"? If you have a false perception of reality, that is no one's problem but your own. So you believe that everyone here has a false perception of reality? What of it? There is a crowd which consists of people like you on practically every forum on the internet. These are people who are light in reading comprehension ability and heavy in emotions (of the irrational variety). Invariably they will interrupt a debate with an opinion piece, i.e., an editorial, because it angers them to see someone disagreeing with their "buddies". I always suggest that they point out where I was uncivil toward someone who wasn't first uncivil toward me, and they never can (and neither can you, obviously); they simply launch into another irrelevant and baseless opinion piece, which is what I fully expect you and/or someone else like you will do in this thread. Is that a joke? He typed out 4 bald-faced lies ... oh, that's right, you have tacitly admitted to having a false perception of reality (which explains why this excerpt of yours has no connection to reality whatsoever), and apparently think that's a good thing. Carry on. I'm gona take your side on this one because I've had friends be the victim of what you are saying here. They will most probably ban you to please one another even though this whole debate is stand offish until the dictatorship comes into play. Reasons for ban - refuse to accept responsibility for actions, hijacking threads, inflammatory remarks, bad attitude etc. Let me know which how many reasons you get lol.

I don't think anyone is angry that you think ninja swords as presented by popular media actually existed. Being needlessly antagonistic is another story. It happens from time to time, you get people who care about swords an awful lot with nothing better to do with their time and eventually somebody is going to feel tweaked by a statement. It happens and sometimes you just have to switch browser tabs for a bit, pour yourself a stiff drink or three, and think about what you're actually getting out of a thread.
There's a time to state your case, a time to try to emphasize your point if it isn't coming across, and a time to re-assess the reasons for participating in a thread.

you think ninja swords as presented by popular media actually existed. I never claimed any such thing. Go ahead and direct me to an example where I was antagonistic to someone who wasn't first antagonistic.

What was your purpose in opening this thread? Read the OP. It is self-explanatory. By the way, I said: "Go ahead and direct me to an example where I was antagonistic to someone who wasn't first antagonistic."Your reply = ? You won't be able to, because I am never the first to be antagonistic on specialized topic forums like this (it is a different story on forums intended for antagonism, like IMDb's "The Soapbox"). Many people confuse disagreement/rebuttals/refutations with antagonism. However, this isn't antagonism. Antagonism = personal attacks, i.e., ad hominem. Normal debate, which is considered civil if there is no ad hominem, is one of the best known methods of bringing information to light. The most informative threads on the internet are full of debate. Debate tends to naturally brings out all known sides of an issue. People who can't handle debate without getting emotional, often ruin these threads prematurely, but there are still some real gems out there. One of the most informative threads I know of consisted of a debate regarding the usage of Mopar F-, M-, or J-body steering knuckle/spindle assemblies to convert Mopar B-bodies which came with drum brakes all around, to front disc brakes. The tech editor of Mopar Action magazine (Richard Ehrenberg) was involved in the debate (who, along with a few others, was on the side of "don't use them, stick with '70-'74 E-body or '73-'76 A-body steering knuckles/spindles), against several very knowledgeable people on the side of "go ahead and use them, they actually have improved geometry". This thread was invaluable reading for me before doing the disc brake conversion on my own car, and having to decide which steering knuckles/spindles to seek out (I went with E-berg's side of the argument, and got them from a '73 Dodge Challenger).

I did read the OP. And your follow up posts. And I'm still asking what you are hoping to accomplish with your thread? If you aren't arguing for the historical existence on a ninja sword, then why are you arguing with people who are stating the obvious point that since there's no evidence for it's existence (and you've not adequately presented any) that it is likely it doesn't exist?
My reply to you for the second part of your post is that it doesn't matter if someone was antagonistic first or not, this isn't kindergarten and "he pushed me first" isn't an acceptable rationale.
Look, if you walk into a bar and one guy there walks over and says that you are being a jerk, then there's a good chance that he's probably just a jerk himself. If everyone in the bar tells you that you are acting like a jerk, then it just might be that you're coming across as one.
Rattling off unrelated information doesn't make you seem knowledgeable, it makes you look schizophrenic.
