No, you don't have to be sorry... what about being careful? You
just made a mistake that only sia sway yourself and entertain
others, not to mention written a couple of long posts on a faulty
assumption. And best you made this mistake not because people trick
you, but because in your haste to chiong you never even read
properly.
You should take some time to think before pouncing on anybody in
here, then maybe you can avoid making such basic mistakes like not
even realizing what not being part of 66.6% is.
The truth is, many people in here probably hold the same position
with you on many issues, but the way you arse about in here either
turns them off, or you end up attacking those that might be your
allies in the first place. If you haven't noticed, if you bother to
read the posting histories of others that you might not like in
here... a lot of them are actually the anti-establishment you are
trying to find in the first place, but because of a little thing
here and a little thing there you end up flaming them.
So I must honestly tell you, it's quite funny... not to mention
actually HELPING your REAL opponents, not harming them by wacking
people who are actually on your side.
Try something, it's called tolerance and flexibility. The enemy of
my enemy is my friend... not everybody but anybody that is
absolutely like me is my enemy.
You know there's a saying about flamers, that they need to wear
fireproof boots because they often end up burning their own feet.
Anybody can flame, but only really smart people make a proper
argument. At the end of the day you can outshout someone, but who
really wins is another matter. The person who wins the flame war
might actually be the real loser in the end as his opponent has
managed to bait him into revealing his own inconsistencies.
Sun Tzu said that if you know yourself and your enemy you will be
victorious in every battle, if you dunno your enemy and only know
yourself, you'll win one and lose one. But if you dunno both your
enemy and yourself, you will be in danger in every battle.
While your Japanese "Banzai!" charging style of argument is very
noisy and impressive... might I suggest another tatic that works a
lot better... namely something called "fight smart and know your
true friends and foe"?
I'm not trying to tekan you or anything, if I was the PAP, I would
keep highlighting your error for my own gain like the Bah Chor Mee
incident. I'm trying to tell you this for your own good: You
actually have many potential allies and people with agreement with
you in here- don't turn them into your foes by your reckless and
careless actions.
