You are funny. Since when has a sigh been "angry"? Imagine it: Bloke 1 in Pub: "Oi, you fucking prick, you spilt my pint!!" Bloke 2 in Pub: (Sighed angrily in response)
Roger - are you the Roger I think you are? I only aware of one bloke out there with 749R in the flat high up????
@Exige some personality types can never accept they came out out on the wrong side of a debate as it reveals a an insecurity they have about their profile or or what they thought they knew. Things are much easier if you just accept you win some, lose some and others can't be decided. Back on topic, if those following it can bear to return to it, ie. @Loz , this might save you some space in those cramped UK living arrangements.
OK, you got me, explain exactly what game we are playing, what does winning it mean, why you think I have lost, and what did a photo shoot of a pretend packing case have to do with it anyway... *sigh*
Fair enough, it's straightforward. Thread is about housing your bike in style. See, eg. post #1. So I put up that photo as an extreme example of housing your Ducati in Style. You come back with a criticism that (which is no doubt true, but not the point) that it's a fake packing crate. I then give the background to the design of ncluding involving Tamburini etc. Now I think to most Ducatisti that this is very influential in being a most stylish way to house your Ducati (if you could afford the setup) given Tamburini's involvement. Your response was that you "didn't know what my words mean". And it goes downhill/off-track from there. My point is that once you had the info about the setup, your response was just a diversion instead of an answer on the merits. It's at that point you lose the debate. You could have responded that even with all the expense/Ducati involvement you thought it was rubbish for whatever reasons - that would be engaging in the debate further. I don'' like explaining "Arguing your case 101", but you have asked me to. You are also bloody well intelligent enough to know that if in a debate and your in a spot the go-to tactic is distraction . I also know this stuff inside out. That is why I responded simply with "sigh", because you know you're avoiding a debate on the merits, I know you are, but you then continued that stuff. So there you go. You asked for an explanation. I enjoy our debates but neither of us has to play dumb as a tactic. If you have got me on the evidence, and I can't discredit it, I'll acknowledge it (of cousre in some smart arse way) - debate on knowledge/evidence/skill is an art to be enjoyed win, lose or draw.
Ah, that's cleared that up then, but was the crate relevant to the thread therefore and I still don't know why you're angry about a fake crate But I loves ya anyhoo
