? thought that would be a good idea. So if someone is annoying you and you wish to say so perhaps rather than ruining the conversation you could refer the person to whom you wish to have a go at to this thread and then you could argue to your hearts content, being a pain in the ass to everyone else.

This is going to be so popular I just know it is??????????

Sometimes argument simply means discussion. There is too much argumentism in the world: fear of, dislike of argument, prejudice against it. Likewise challenges to bullshit: challenges to bullshit or rudeness are not argument, they are challenges, call outs.

It annoys me that so many people don't really understand that argument and challenging should be respected and used, not feared and disliked.

Bickering, on the other hand, which is probably what the OP is concerned about, is another matter.

Inhad is my argumentative, picky and contradictory alter-ego.

No emojis allowed on this thread - it dilutes/defeats the essence of the argument ! Let the words stand alone.

Oh God. I don't believe I posted that. Madness is kicking in.

PS so I shall continue to argue and to challenge wherever the hell I like and I hope others do too. Free speech and freely.

whitewave Sat 28-May-16 10:00:15

shock jing honestly!!!!!!! You need a strong cup of coffee and some vigorous exercise.

Yes I was thinking of bickering I suppose, as I can argue/ debate with the best.

It's my roast chicken emoti!!! It's actually been used! Hooray!!!

whitewave Sat 28-May-16 10:01:55

What does a roast chicken signify- I must have missed that when it was introduced,

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 28-May-16 10:02:09

It was you that said it, not me. hmm Rude girl.

thatbags Sat 28-May-16 10:02:12

ww, phew! smile

Anya Sat 28-May-16 10:03:23

No, this thread won't work. As an example, if we had a poster called grannyseriouslyupherself (which of course we don't) she would be the last person to come on this thread and give us her head for boiling, wouldn't she? hmm

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 28-May-16 10:03:37

It means the poster has other things that need getting on with - like cooking the dinner. Cari just happened to have that one in a drawer when I asked for one.

whitewave Sat 28-May-16 10:03:47

whitewave Sat 28-May-16 10:04:38

ffinnochio Sat 28-May-16 10:06:43

Ah yes, bickering. That's more like it.

petra Sat 28-May-16 10:28:56

Anya Your post Re grannyseriouslyupherself brilliant!

Galen Sat 28-May-16 10:40:24

whitewave Sat 28-May-16 10:47:14

I've already bagged it galen you can be grannyseriouslyupherself2 unless of course you wish to argue the point, in which case it's yours?

Anniebach Sat 28-May-16 10:55:57

whitewave Sat 28-May-16 11:03:57
