I said: "Again, a lefty only seeing what he or she or it wants to see, is nothing new."
You replied: "You mean like this post"
Also note that I wasn't talking to you in the first part..
That's correct. But as you made the statement in a thread in an open forum - i.e., this one - there are no rules as to who can or cannot respond. If you wanted a private one-on-one conversation, your best option would have been a ->Private<- Message.
Then I said: "Wtf are you talking about? Do you even know?"
To be more accurate, you said "Do YOU even know?" suggesting that there are people in your world who make random statements without knowing what they mean. This would be something I'm not familiar with.
You then claimed to be able to explain.
No. My response was one word: "Yes."
Meaning, yes, I know what I mean.
That was the point at which someone interested in advancing the conversation would have asked a question. It might have been as simple as "Then what do you mean?" You apparently could have embellished it with a few "morons" without running afoul of the rules of the "Clean" Debate Zone (as you've done several times already), but you did not do that.
If you don't ask a question, the best you can honestly say is that you haven't gotten an answer. Only by being dishonest can you make something up and pretend the other person has given that as an answer.
Now, if you have a question, please ask. If not, you can be honest in your disinterest or you can make something up. Make sure to throw in a few more "morons" to accentuate your seriousness.
Last chance, then I'm done with your silliness:
I said: "Again, a lefty only seeing what he or she or it wants to see, is nothing new."

Explain it or admit you don't know what you are talking about.
Your tone is hostile and your premise is flawed. You've set the stage to dismiss the explanation I'm about to give you, to which you'll respond "See? I told you you don't know what you are talking about." Nevertheless:
You said: "Again, a lefty only seeing what he or she or it wants to see, is nothing new."
I replied: "You mean like this post."
What I meant was that you, Predfan (specifically you; I'm not attributing your behaviors to any other person or group), approach any conversation on this board by first slapping a label on the other person and then filtering their words through your own preconceived opinion.
(The use of the neuter pronoun was a nice touch - just within the rules, apparently, as is the repeated use of "moron." You see, I'm learning something here.)
It's not the words so much as the intent. You've determined that nothing anyone you've labeled a "lefty" says will get through your filter.
Your posts in this thread are exactly emblematic of the question in the OP. If a lefty had been the one to post "Again, a righty only seeing what he or she or it wants to see, is nothing new," the intent on the part of that poster would have been the same.
My question to either of you - PredFan or the hypothetical lefty - would be the same: "If you're only here to surround yourself with people who agree with you, what's the point?"
And if, instead, your reason for being here is to pound the opposition into the floor with your brilliant reasoning, you need to study your "enemy" without filters, hold your temper, and have some facts at your disposal.
If that's not why you're here, then
Your response above is fine as a response to my statement about lefties, but it doesn't explain the unrelated original response.
Only if you persist in seeing it as unrelated.
It is unrelated and to prove that, you cannot show how it is. You tried and failed. Goodbye.
