PoD needs to check his normie privilege, he'll never understand what it's like to be a geek in an alpha male culture.

Alpha male society? Where????

[Hong Wu]

I could take anyone here with epee, foil or sabre.

Or a shinai for that matter!

I will meet you by the model boat pool at noon with your witnesses, do try not to die in a craven manner.

[SolarCross]

@SolarCross oh so like exactly what you're doing with Pinochet, huh? I have made my position on Stalin known (to you) plenty of times and tankies don't even like Pol Pot.

There are only 2000 corpses you can lay at Pinochet's feet and they were all communists and therefore not innocent. You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs. What was he supposed to do beat communism in a dance off? Fact is you would not care if I had as an avatar Mao, Lenin, Castro, Guevara, Pol Pot or any of the other mass murdering psychopaths of the communist plague, because you have no problem with the worst atrocities as long as a communist is doing them.

[Sivad]

tankies don't even like Pol Pot.

I didn't know that, he always seemed like such an impeccable gulagist. I though he'd be right up tankie alley, go figure.

[Godstud]

Assuming anyone was stupid enough to attend a duel, what real purpose does it serve, and what problem does it solve?

I'd just say, "Oh yeah, a duel. No thanks. You can stew in your own juices.". I would mock them until their whole purpose of dueling would be subverted.

Dueling with anything other than a rudimentary pistol(as equals), is only a way for people with more skill at arms to prop up their false sense of pride, or impose their will upon others.

[Hong Wu]

Godstud, the point of a duel is to establish that (1) I am more manly and courageous than you, therefore I am higher class, (2) I will acquire God's favor or so help me, die, (3) You are a fucking liar, (4) I probably fucked your wife and now I have to kill you, (5) You will not be able to show your face in the local country club if you decline which, let's be honest, is kind of what I'm hoping will happen, (6) the bitches love it.


I hope you know, this means war.

[Red_Army]

@Sivad: He was pretty anti-Marxist and was eventually defeated by the Vietnamese even though he received a shit ton of funding from the US. I guess the 1 million dead at Pol Pot's feet were just some omelette eggs during the cold war.

This topic is lame @Godstud lets make it about skateboarding.

@Hong Wu why didn't you challenge me when I made fun of you being a manlet?

[annatar1914]

@SolarCross oh so like exactly what you're doing with Pinochet, huh? I have made my position on Stalin known (to you) plenty of times and tankies don't even like Pol Pot.

Well, Pol Pot wasn't really a Communist, having turned the Khmer Rouge into a weird Ethno-Nationalist and Agrarian Socialism kind of movement. As for Stalin, he's quite another subject.

[Hong Wu]

Red_Army you're a communist, no one expects you to do something like show up to a duel.

I might be doing this on the weekend:


And I owe it all to the PoFo dueling thread! Wouldn't have occurred to me otherwise.

[Godstud]

Godstud, the point of a duel is to establish that (1) I am more manly and courageous than you, therefore I am higher class, (2) I will acquire God's favor or so help me, die, (3) You are a fucking liar, (4) I probably fucked your wife and now I have to kill you, (5) You will not be able to show your face in the local country club if you decline which, let's be honest, is kind of what I'm hoping will happen, (6) the bitches love it.

1) You are not more manly or courageous simply because you do stupid, dangerous things. You might think that, of course, but it's not a given. Dueling would not prove this, either.

2) Which God? The Christian God was all about "turning the other cheek". I doubt he'd approve of dueling on any level, least of all for some misguided sense of pride.

3) Dueling cannot prove or disprove what a person has said. I could lie and beat you in a duel, proving nothing.

4) If my wife fucked you(not that this would ever happen, but I'll play your silly imaginary scenario), you could have her. I wouldn't want any woman that would cheat on me.

5) Country Clubs are for tarts. I'd never join a "club" that would have me. :P I care little for the empty prestige of such things.

6) You can have your dumbass "bitches".

7)

@Red_Army Skateboard dueling? No thanks.

[SolarCross]

I didn't know that, he always seemed like such an impeccable gulagist. I though he'd be right up tankie alley, go figure.

Tankies think they should dupe stupid proles into killing all the country bumpkins so the whole nation starves while pol pot thought that he should dupe all the bumpkins into murdering all the city slickers so that any kind of culture or industry becomes a thing of the past. In the end there is really profound difference of opinion on which way is the fastest way to destroy human civilisation. Such progress!

[Red_Army]

@Hong Wu, so the manly thing you did was cry to the internet police?

[Sivad]

At least you all agree on mass murder. Dog rape notwithstanding of course.

[Pants-of-dog]

I'm not arguing to bring back dueling, that's stupid. My point was just that a lot of times you can't resolve conflicts in a adult manner because you're not dealing with adults, you're dealing with fucking idiots.

Okay. I can leave aside the dueling thing.

I would say that the way you handled the situation was an example of resolving the issue in an adult manner.

By the way, you should really decide which insult you want to go with: either I am bullied, as you claim, or I have no idea what bullying is, as you also claim.

———————————

What about revolutions and mass executions? Can I dance my way out of that?

Are you arguing that dueling can stop revolutions and mass executions?

@Victoribus Spolia

You seem to be trying to drag your own thread off topic. If you really want to ignore what I actually wrote to attack this weird strawman of yours, go ahead.

You really seem to have something against me.

[Hong Wu]

Edit: Perhaps that was a little rude.

[Godstud]

I'm not proud of my occasional rage towards lower class people over the internet.

You're not in a good position to judge... Class is not something that is relevant on the internet, as well.

[Hong Wu]

You're into self-flagellation?

So when you said you wouldn't join a country club that would have you, you meant that you would only join a country club that wouldn't have you? In a weird way that makes sense...

[Red_Army]

@Hong Wu You can't use phrases like "put up or shut up" on an internet forum. Also I think I conduct myself just fine since only the biggest turds on the forum seem to ever be upset with me

[Godstud]

I've always found "clubs" to be pretty weak-sauce and if they have clubs that are not all-inclusive, they have stupid rules that I rail against, anyways.

[Sivad]

I would say that the way you handled the situation was an example of resolving the issue in an adult manner.

That wasn't adult, I had to publicly humiliated the guy to get him to knock it off. What I did was pretty dirty. I don't regret doing it but I do regret that it had to come to that.
