To: Terpfen; Hot Tabasco

If you’re going to extend your accusations to Hot Tabasco, you should give him/her a courtesy ping.

Hot Tabasco made post 35. I make no claim about what he/she said in that post. It stands on its own. I didn’t see any claim in that post (or any other post by HT) that video games were the culprit here.

You made post 61. It was so ridiculous, that when I stopped laughing I had to reply.

I made post 66, using sarcasm to point out the obvious fact (obvious to everyone but the most stupid idiot) that violence during a child’s formative years has an effect on their fragile little minds. Only a complete moron would deny that fact.

Now one more time (what is this, the 5th or 6th request?) where did I make your claim that video games caused this incident? I’m still waiting for you to produce evidence to back up your lie, or apologize for lying.

Hot Tabasco made post 35, and then you defended post 35 in your post 66. If you did not read post 35 before making your post 66, then it makes your post 66 even sillier.

At issue is not whether one is denying that excessive violence during a person's formative years is detrimental. Of course it is. We're talking about whether or not there was any violence to be exposed to in the first place. Hot Tabasco made the claim that video games were somehow involved. There is no proof of this.

There IS some moderate evidence, based on my reading of the thread-starting article, that this attack might have been racially motivated. If that's true, there is no video game titled "Beat Up Whitey," so it's highly unlikely the attackers got the idea to assault this kid based on something they picked up at the local Best Buy.

Now one more time (what is this, the 5th or 6th request?) where did I make your claim that video games caused this incident? I’m still waiting for you to produce evidence to back up your lie, or apologize for lying.

I'm still waiting for you to acknowledge that the defense of someone else's point is inherently agreeing with that point. If you didn't read post 35 before authoring your post 66, as you seem to now be implying, then you have even less ground to stand on in this ridiculous little circular argument you're spinning.
