I thought your last line was in reference to me asserting that if you could explain how what I said was contrarian then I'd agree with you and I thought you were trying to flip it around on me. We're clearly playing different games here.

They banned me for "baseless speculation" because the police said they searched the gunmans house in germany and didn't find any links to terrorism and i made the point that what they said didn't mean there weren't any links only that they didn't find any in his house and it was being splashed across news/newspapers in GIANT FONT that there were NO LINKS TO TERRORISM.


Oh yes, I remember that now. Frankly I don't see why anyone would even report that, let alone why you would be banned for it.

Viper can explain that.

That was the very first time I'd mentioned contrarianism... you were talking to a guest before that. I was on a simple "Yes I am Contrarian" - "No I am not a Contrarian" no correct answer thing :cuppaT: I was wondering why it went on for so long.

Yes I was. It's called context.

If you cared for logic and I believed you wouldn't resort to hahah you said you're a contrarian then I would have said I was a contrarian, because I believe i'm not. It was only a trap in the sense that the answer to the question was reversed depending on what you believed. Out of a sample size of 3 people where 2 people believe I'm a contrarian and I am neither way and waiting for evidence to assess and form an opinion if I was a contrarian then I would say i'm not, however, if I believed I wasn't then I would say I am.

I don't know. Your sample size is too small and you haven't explained how you came to the conclusion.

Now you see... I'm yanking your chain, you know I'm yanking your chain and i know that you know that I;m yanking your chain. So the pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right? Who's on first base?

Can a contrarian also be a pedant?



The answer, of course, is yes.
