Been there done that, bought the T-shirt, and found a better middle ground. So now that we've abandoned logic and found I have as equal grounding in this as you, i.e. "don't knock it till you've tried it"* has failed, what next?

*This tactic is also a favourite of chi- practitioners, cult recruiters, wiccan witches, faith healers and psychics who talk to the dead.
Can you spot any re-curring theme amongst the groups who use this line of reasoning?
You seem to be attacking the person instead of the argument.

Now see, we can both be immature retards, now that it has failed, whats next?
Quite simply Fin, we are just going to have to agree to disagree. We both have different opinions on the matter and it seems we both have success with each of our own opinions. To each his own.
So now instead of us both degrading ourselves with an argument thats going nowhere, lets take the high road and agree there are more than one way to skin a cat.
KER- CLUNK
Did you hear that? It's you, entering warped mindless phase 2. Here's a brief over-view of the model.
Phase 0.5- This is an optional one sometimes you pull it sometimes you don't. Warped Mindless, proofs himself by making references to PUGs, critisising some and praising others to allude to the idea that he is well connected behind the scenes of the PU world. (Can't take credit for this observation, it was actually someone else who pointed out this to me, of course I'm sure you'll find the idea of you being discussed more flattering than worrying.)
Phase 1.0 - Spill rhetoric using whatever trendy buzz-words, phrases and romanticised theorums that currently appealling to those looking for a saviour model.
Phase 2.0 - Uh oh! What's this? Dissention amongst the ranks of our readers? Has someone come to burst our bubble? Time to break out the passive aggressive analysis of the other persons post and pretend like they are the only hostile ones in the thread.

Regardless, have you come up with an answer to "This is too extreme a solution" yet?
Ye'know, Sometimes it feels like handing a PUA an idea is like handing toddler a nail gun, he could use it to build something beautiful, but more likely he'll just shoot himself in the phase.
I have a 7 year old nephew you remind me of. Instead of taking the high road and agreeing that we both have different opinions on the matter, you chose to sink back into a little kid mindset. Your ego is bigger than your post count. Perhaps when you get out of this school yard mentality we can have a serious discussion.
Until then, im done with this thread, as neither of has have any more value to add to it.
