My argumentation blog

[homerwannabee]

Do to MarioMitch's suggestion I decided to make an argumentation blog.  This is a blog that I will use if I have a disagreement with someone in another thread.  In this way I won't derail any threads, and I will be able to still sound off on certain topics. 

So from this time forth any, and all disagreements I will have, I will do my best to put it into the argumentation blog.  Yep, I do like to argue, and yes it does sidetrack threads at times.  So I think this is a good compromise.

First!

First!

And thus some fuel for my first real argument in my argumentation blog.

No, you are technically not first.  I am the first post in the blog.  You simply are the first response!

Haha. Eye-catching title. Not exactly what I was imagining, but it's probably even better than just the normal blog that I had suggested (based on the types of sidetracks that typically happen). I hope you don't take me as being mean by having suggested this. I truly was just trying to be helpful. We don't wanna turn off new people to the forums by bickering too frequently in the normal threads. We all already know one another quite well, so sometimes the way we discuss things might end up being quite intimidating to relative 'outsiders'.

Now... start debating with Steve that he was definitely not 'first, and that you were!!!!

Haha, I was too slow! You already started that argument!!!!  Love it!!!

Can't argue with that

Do to MarioMitch's

Let's argue grammar.

Shouldn't it be "Due to marinomitch13's..."?

Just picking on you.  Your grammar and spelling are generally impeccable, but since this is the argumentation blog I thought we should argue.  Great now I'm going to have to spell check all future posts.

Lol, yeah, it is Marinomitch13. Nothing to do with Mario.

This 'blog' may get very popular!

Is this the right room for an argument?

No cause for concern, Hank.  You might be surprised at the number of searches I've conducted to check on the spelling of a word, or to determine whether a particular item should be one word, multiple words or hyphenated.  Some words have more than one acceptable spelling.  In those cases, I'll google each one separately and compare the number of hits.  It can be time-consuming (<= hyphenated example), but I've picked up a few useful rules of thumb along the way.

Ending a sentence with a preposition?  Ugh, don't even get me started.

Perhaps I should create my own blog, before I'm reprimanded for derailing an argumentation thread with comments that are not argumentative.   

My apologies for the intrusion.  Carry on.

Ending a sentence with a preposition?

Carry on.

We are all guilty of that sometimes.   

Is "killscreen" one word, two words or hyphenated?

Discuss...  I mean argue.

Ha!  Nice catch.  Normally, I would introduce a mistake like that intentionally, just for the irony:

"Ending a sentence with a preposition is something I will never be guilty of."

However, in my original post, I didn't even notice the grammatical "fox pazz."

I won't create a poll, but if someone else does, I'm voting for killscreen (one word, no hyphen).

If I plan to continue my participation in this thread, I should consider adopting a more adversarial tone.

Isn't it ironic that someone started a personal thread to prevent hi-jacking other threads, and in turn that very same thread gets hi-jacked?

My vote is for killscreen "one word".
