And yet more condescension?

Oh, come on, Iacchus! This was a very legitimate response to your post! It was you, not 'Berry, who spoke of reflexes. Gooze just called you on it.

I am not really doing this to defend you (or rarely, anyway), but because I cannot resist a big fat pitch right in the strike zone.

In truth, I think I would rather disagree with you on something. I love a good argument, but that requires communication rather than evasion. You, I am thinking, would be fun to bump heads with.

Dang you Diggy. This should have been my crowning moment in puncturing Iacchy's inanity. Now you have gone and taken the best lines. For that, you will have to be spanked.

Really, though, like you, Diggy, I don't know what I could say to improve on Iacchus' self-description. It's an instant classic.
So sorry. If you want it for your sig, it was, after all, addressed to you.

Actually I could have sworn she said insanity here? Which, I believe is what prompted my reply to the following ...

No, Iacchy, you are not insane. In fact, I kind of like you in an absurd sort of way. Did you read the poem I wrote for you in the Inspiration section?

Don't think for a moment though that this means I am going to cut you any slack, discussion-wise. You have to win your debate points clearly, not by using your boyish charm on me. I've been down that road before, and it is a dead-end street.

I'm sure we could find something to disagree about if we tried. I imagine that we have very different ideas about free will (a topic guaranteed to separate even the staunchest defenders of science).

And though It wouldn't be heads I would want to bump, I wouldn't mind bumping into you. Repeatedly if possible.

No, I don't care for signatures. There is nothing that I can think of that is so clever that I would want to see it after everything I say. It's kind of like the Pledge of Allegiance or the 23rd Psalm. You say them too many times and they don't mean anything to you anymore.

Bring it on. I don't mind debating fictional topics.

Gee, and here I thought I wasn't your type.

A good point.

Um.. okay. We have free will. I just used mine in choosing to write that.

Actually you're not. I'm just willing to try anything, and I'm not very picky.

I knew you'd say that. Or rather, I knew you could not resist my subtle influences which caused you to say that.

Actually, if you are serious, it would be better for us to start a new thread on the topic.
