I don't even care. I'm just refusing to let you have the last word as you take that as some sort of vindication.
You could have ignored any of these but chose not to
This says it all really. Absolutely pathetic

I used to think you were better than that, certainly taken that theory and blown it completely out of the water
continuing with an argument that's been stupid and over the top from ball one because you're under attack and sticking up for yourself: immature, jejune, not what an adult would do etc
continuing with an argument that's been stupid and over the top from ball one for the express purpose of win internet cred against shady slim, who you do not like: mature, wise, very reasonable

????????

Nobody had a big strop. It got posted out it was a poor post and rather than mea culpa it has become this.
what do you want me to do? genuflect down on one knee and beg for the forgiveness of the forum's higher powers because i said a guy was from queensland???? what are you talking about lmao! i accepted that i was mistaken, how is that not enough??
and re the nobody had a big strop part:
This is not just not even remotely true, but wilfully ignorant.

Appalling posting
"wilfully ignorant" and "appalling"! if it is "appalling" to say a bloke's from queensland when he's not, then what's the constant unchecked casual racism faced by subcontinent posters every other day on here? (something which i've not got clean hands on either frankly, not many do!)! "appalling", to say a bloke's from queensland when he's not, let's have some perspective here!
Jesus **** how this argument still going
i have no idea, feel like i've entered the crazy dimension

No. We will not be fair. Fairness is a false God.

Your post was bad and you should feel bad. Taste it.
stand by the second assertion to the hilt though the bloke has enormous private school vibes to me itbt

and remember as @TheJediBrah says we have to remember:
Any discrimination or race/gender/upbringing-based insults are justified if it's "punching up"

Shady, ya need to stop taking debating tips from your godfather (Burgey) while attempting to remain somewhat honest. You're trying every logical fallacy in the book.

I'll give you a tip: when you say something that is horrendously wrong – like bisecting "Brook's-side-level-wrong" and "Molehill-level-wrong"; something to which even TJB could say justifiably "no, the opposite is true" – then to more effectively take a leaf out of Burgey's book, the best response for your reputation is "lol you muppets that was a joke lol".

lol you kid

I'm not going to trawl through the archives to see which state they came from and what level of education they had before making a post about their state and level of education.

honestly i'm not trying to debate or "try" logical fallacies or anything i'm just in legitimate bewilderment this is still going on

if i called the bloke a pedophile or something and then tried to walk it back like heyyyy haha i'm just a guy on a forum, sure, yanno, that's deplorable, to say that without basis! i said the bloke was from queensland when he's not! immediately accepteed i was mistaken! who cares, i just don't get it, why this is still going on

Being corrected on false information is not and never will be a personal attack at all. You just simply can't handle any form of criticism whatsoever
but i didn’t have any problem with the correction i had a problem with you calling mistakenly thinking that a bloke was from qld “wilfully ignorant” as well as “appalling”

that we’re still going on about it only proves the disproportionality of the response given i accepted i was wrong instantly

edit:

we’re on a cricket forum because we like talking cricket and i made a dumb offhand comment and i wasn’t aware a bloke was born not in the same state as the one he plays for. we are still talking about it like ten pages after. please tell me im not the only one who realises how this is obviously stupid and we should all can it
