RCG and Ricter follow a distinct pattern in their posting. They try to speak a lot on the surface of a whole bunch of issues. When questioned, they begin to stumble about and can't really get too specific without revealing a substantial lack of knowledge, so they obfuscate. AK just spills propaganda - outright lies and yellow journalism that has been proven false time and time again, but he simply doesn't care and hopes volume and quantity will out perform quality. Bigarrow admits many times that he's not an expert on the various topics, but posts just how he feels on a lot of it. He will be the first to tell you it's just opinion, and I kind of like that about him. You can't fault a person for their feelings, so you can't really say he is wrong when it's his opinion. You can disagree, or call him dumb, but not wrong. Piezoe is a hybrid of Ricter, RCG and AK, without any of the animosity or trollish behavior. A product of liberal education, he's just sang the same tune for so long to so many that when someone brings discord to the harmony, he feels like he needs to return everyone to the time honored lyrics.
Being "analytical" about posters does not refute their argument or strengthen yours, though a careless reader may be inclined to think it does. But, as you said, you are a sucker for wasting time.
For wasting time with the worthless, hopeless and clueless, yes. You are correct. Although pspr and I chatting about said worthless people is actually entertaining. So in that, it is not a waste of time.
As far as your time wasting is concerned, this changes nothing, and in fact puts it in a worse light.
Don't worry. I caught him in yet another lie today about a "major move in the majors." The spy didn't move a single point, but he comes back on saying, "there was movement." What was that, sideways chop? What a lunatic liar ol' buckwheat is.
Oh well, then it puts it in a worse light. I, at least, will admit where I have faults. Of course, what you tend to see as a bad thing in most cases the rest of us see as good, and vice-versa. So I guess I'm ok with that.
Just a word of advice, it probably isnt wise to show up to the scene of an accident to pick your wife up while you are intoxicated.
