IMO you guys just can't stand that X can outthink and outargue any RWer on SI, and that she treats you dismissively. I have to disagree with you on at least part of your conclusions. I agree that X has demonstrated her intelligence. She has demonstrated her ability to raise the bar by taking fractal positions regarding conventional wisdom. I agree that some people pose no thoughtful challenges to her positions at all. Name calling or simple bantering is not arguing, winning or losing. It is simply local color for entertainment. However, many people have posed sound arguments to X’s positions on topics. When this happens she becomes dismissive and places challengers on ignore. While she continues to argue. She has made it clear on several occasions that she isn’t interested in discussing the provocative positions with people who would argue from a different perspective. How is this out thinking or out arguing? The dismissiveness, represents a loss to me, on her part. It also leaves the participants with a feeling of unfinished business. This, IMO, is an intentional coquettish ploy by X. Normal people naturally want to attend to unfinished business in an effort to seek resolution. I don’t see anything particularly intelligent about that. In fact, it seems a bit like a personality disorder. And I see her whines about stalkers as disingenuous.

Who exactly is "stalking" XXX if such a thing is even is possible on a public message board...? I'd be interested to know....I know I'm not.....so who is...? (I except the revelation of intensely personal information in these forums...that I can see). In light of your very factual "recap" I find eihter XXX complaining about it or you noting "stalking" of XXX as rather illogical.....and quite frankly, out arguing someone on SI, as we all know, is surely in the eye of the beholder....I suspecrt for instance that if Laz is arguing with XXX those who tedn to side with Laz would tend to favor his arguments and XXX's friends vice versa....

Being smarter than you and treating you dismissively is not a crime That's an insult and I resent it. Get X over here or on my thread and I'll take her on singlehandedly. X sure as hell hasn't done that well till now. Why else is she walled off in her cubbyholes? I'm not. My thread has no bans at the moment. If she doesn't want to wrestle me, I'm sure there are numerous other approprate candidates who who take her on. And mop the floor with her.
