Hey Tyr

[ConHog]

I want to see if you actually have ANY debating skills.

Pick the topic.

OK, here is the topic.

Why is Conhog such an arrogant little ass and cockalorum?
You go first with your defense... of course if you agree it will make my part just a tad bit easier.-:laugh2:--Tyr

^^ Really? Dude aren't you supposed to be like 58 years old?

I mean I guess I'll accept this as an admission that you fear a real debate with me; but disappointing just the same.

Be my guest accept it anyway you care to. I will repeat again to you because you appear to be wickedly slow on the uptake. Read this slowly. I will post when ,where and how I like, not how you suggest, demand or plead for me to do.
Now you told me to pick the subject and now you try to weasel away!
After I gave you the fantastic advantage of speaking about your magnificent brilliant self!??Shocking I tell you, just absolutely shocking that with such a huge advantage that you attempt to weasel out.
Well, maybe you feared because you didnt know what the word , cockalorum means..
Here just for you is it's meaning-- A little man with an unduly high opinion of himself.
Surely such a subject near and dear to your heart would strike your fancy!
If ya too scared just bow out amigo.
I mean, backing out should be a well worn and very familiar tactic with you .--Tyr

Hey, if you are going to weasel out be man enough to say so. Don't just slick away after issuing such a challenge!
If you do that here and now my guess is that more people here will start to think you a bigger ass than they already do!--Tyr

You realize that we have a steel cage and this is not that forum , don't you? You have claimed to be smarter than I am, so I offered to let you pick a topic and prove it.

No flames allowed in these sorts of debates, by board rule so obviously a debate about whether I'm a cuckolose or whatever would not be within the rules.

[SassyLady]

I would love to see a debate between the two of you ... one with facts and no flames.

Topic suggestion ....

Appropriate age for children to have cell phone. Simple enough.

Awful tough topic there actually. I mean each child and case is different. And how do your provide any facts?

It is cockalorum you mentally challenged hero. Just as I thought you didnt even know what the word was to start with.-:laugh:

"these sorts of debates" , good grief we had not set any rules and I wouldnt trust any declaration of rules given by you to start with.

Also you did not issue this challenge in the steel cage. However we can take it there but the topic stands as is !
Otherwise piss off piss ant because you are simply attempting to weasel out of a challenge that you issued merely thinking of proving your own imagined brilliance! You told me to pick the topic. You set no guidelines or limits onthat, none whatsoever! Remember I keep telling you that accuracy counts. You keep being too dense to understand that..
Put up or shut up (weasel out- :laugh:--).. The topic stands! I took your challenge and chose the topic.-Tyr
Stop whining little man..:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Start with this statement from Wiki .... do you agree with it? And if so, how do you determine which child gets a phone and which one doesn't ... based on your statement that each child and case is different.


The effect of mobile phone radiation on human health is the subject of recent interest and study, as a result of the enormous increase in mobile phone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone) usage throughout the world (as of June 2009, there were more than 4.3 billion subscriptions worldwide[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_radiation_and_health#cite_note-GSM_Association_Market_Data_Summary-0)). Mobile phones use electromagnetic radiation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation) in themicrowave (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave) range. Other digital wireless systems (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_electronic_devices_and_health), such as data communication networks, produce similar radiation.
The WHO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Health_Organization) has classified mobile phone radiation on the IARC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Agency_for_Research_on_Cancer) scale into Group 2B (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IARC_Group_2B_carcinogens) - possibly carcinogenic. That means that there "could be some risk" of carcinogenicity, so additional research into the long-term, heavy use of mobile phones needs to be conducted.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_radiation_and_health#cite_note-WHO_IARC_110531-1) Some national radiation advisory authorities[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_radiation_and_health#cite_note-AustriaPrecaution-2) have recommended measures to minimize exposure to their citizens as a precautionary approach (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precautionary_principle).

Of course Im the brighter gorilla but considering the opponent that's hardly anything to brag about.:laugh:
He issued a challenge , told me to pick the topic. Accuracy counts. I picked the topic. Now he can weasel out or take this topic and all to the infamous steel cage.
If he begs I may consider changing the topic to this - Why high rated Chess players are far more brilliant than want to be Mods? He can defend the brilliance of want to be Mods and I'll defend the briliance of high rated chess players. That way we both are in very familiar territory.
Just consider this , in the old days of duels , the challenger didnt get to choose the weapons that were to be used.
Of course this is between ConHog and myself not anybody else's concern. As I have no ally(second) and need none.-Tyr

Zero honor as well. For he has already started the weaseling even before the debating. He isnt even bright enough to know that accuracy counts. He issued the challenge , told me to pick the topic. Well, I did. Now he whines !
Why ? Doesn't he think that he himself being the topic is advantage enough!!!???:laugh2:

Is it when the ignorant opponent has not a clue to its meaning? Which I knew beforehand and he has proven to be true. Just like he hasnt a clue what a "gadfly" is until he looks up it's definition.--Tyr

[Thunderknuckles]

Makes you intellectually arrogant. I used to really love Chess and read a good deal of history on former Chess Grandmasters. They're almost as bad as physicists, which also happened to be my major while in college so I was a special kind of a-hole :p

As us greeks say "δεν λεσ τιποτα φιλε!"....IOW you said it all! Honor is not usually a word associated with Connie.

Noticed earlier today, somewhere else on the board him touting his "achievements"..jobs, degrees etc. etc., you didn't buy any of that nonsense did ya?

Just curious Tyr ... wouldn't those that use these words frequently know more about their meaning? You are the one bringing up the words, therefore, you must be more familiar with the meanings? I must admit that when I first saw the word I thought of OCA and banty roosters....but didn't think of either you or ConHog.

Gadfly? There are quite a few of them on this board .... and I'm sure all of us have been a gadfly at one time or another.

OCA's favorite poster ... crap, and I was just getting to know you....:stooges:

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

What does it do to you?

He can only answer that question if he himself was ever or currently is very high rated. It's a mind game that allows the mind to go to blinding levels of brilliance. Of course it can be played at any level. Just as it can go to levels of the extremely brilliant greats such as Fischer, Kasparov, Karpov, Vishy Anand, Rubenstein, Capablanca, Alekhine, Emanual Lasker, Tal, Rueben Fine , David Bronstein, Spielman, Paul Morphy etc.

Woot! I made the list, lol. I'm up for debate, but I've given up on Tyr. He doesn't actually debate anything, so he's just a waste of time on that front, really. I refuse to believe he's a grown adult, and he can use all the long words he wants, but that is in no way maturity.

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

OCA's favorite poster ... crap, and I was just getting to know you....:stooges:

Tyr, I was a somewhat casual player in that I never played in any officially sanctioned games. If what you say about you is true, I have no doubt that you are a better player than I. But, you go around whooping enough people and you start to get a big head all the same. I don't need to play at the level of a Grandmaster to know that.

What rating did you achieve if do not mind my asking?
Physicists are indeed int hat league, in fact several grandmasters are and were physicists!
Also , if you do not mind answering , do you still play?-Tyr

[Thunderknuckles]

YOU? I don't believe it ( the A-hole part that is).
You are too kind my dear. And thankfully you have never been around me after a good 12-pack of beer has taken its toll and the old arrogance begins to show.
Essentially, I get along with both Tyr and ConHog because I can still smell my own :p

Sorry , had not seen this post previous to my asking about your game etc.
I am by no means a chess elitist. I do play at a very high level. I just have a great talent for it like a great musician may have had from the start on the instrument that they became famous for.
Of course it is well known about chess arrogance. But that most often at the very top rated level, meaning grandmaster. I am no grandmaster but have won and drawn games against masters and international masters in my time. I decided long ago not to try to make chess playing my career. Back then was not enough money it in it but now there are many millions to be made .
Still if you would ever care to play I am game. I am not a snob and I've always played anybody from complete novice up to high level master. -Tyr

Can't really get into it now in the open like this but yes the atmosphere at the old USMB was much more free.

Alot of good people in those days, probably double or triple the amount of regular posters than there currently is at DP.

A simple

"No thanks ConHog, I'm not interested in a one on one debate" would have sufficed. :rolleyes:

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

Thats too bad. For many brilliant players give it up for various reasons and chess suffers for it.
When younger I could play about 3 boards blindfolded but can not longer even adequately play one board blindfolded. However ,with sight of the board I now do quite well.
If you should EVER care to take it back up just send me a pm and I'll give you one of my sites to join AND WE CAN PLAY! AS I STATED BEFORE I AM BY NO MEANS A CHESS SNOB. I simply love to play and come here inbetween moves to post. That's why I come and go so much here when posting weekends and late nights.-Tyr

Okay I gotta ask...How do you play chess blind folded?

Timed moves, multiple games I've heard of, but not blind folded.

Several ways to play blindfold chess , which actually just means playing without sight of the board and chess pieces.
One ways is to just call out moves to your oppenent and they call back thier moves in reply until the game is either won , drawn or stalemated. Of course that requires an opponent that can keep up with all the moves and multitude of tens of thousands possible combinations after very move once one gets past the first few moves. Other way is use a board and a third person makes the called out moves while the two players face away from the board. That way if a dispute arises the board verifies the position. At one time even being able to play two or three boards simultaneously blindfolded required authenticity of having done so to be documented by several reputable witnesses !
Now, the record was set in 1949 by grandmaster Najdorf when he played 109 boards simultaneously without sight of the boards. Of course George Kaltynoski regularly does knight tours of the board blindfolded and does so by calling the name of cities that have been randomly written on the each square of the board before play begins. He takes one look at the board before making the knight's tour and never looks again, calls the moves from memory. An amazing feat!-Tyr

Thank you Tyr, I may take you up on that. Although I fear I am no more than a beginner nowadays. I stopped playing almost 20 years ago. However, of all games, I still look back fondly on Chess the most. I fear you may be playing the part of the Instructor :)

I didn't have to look it up and it fits him perfectly! I imagine a big horses tail constantly swatting that idiot away!

I had thought that likely you hadnt had to look it up but went with your statement to the contrary in that post. It fits him perfectly. First thing that I thought after reading his posts for a few days!
You know I do not have the time to spend here like he does. I've have got about a dozen sticks in the fire at any given time and my son to care for when my wife is at work. I dont knock him for his time here just for his cocky attitude and silly posts. -Tyr

Not a problem as I had an instructor myself for a few years, my dad . He died when I was 15 or else I could have made high master level in just a couple more years. I do have over 300 chess books in my library. My hobbies are TRADITIONAL ARCHERY(LONGBOW), GUNS(collecting/shooting), CHESS, AND MY GREATEST PASSION = BOOK COLLECTING(hardback first editions). I'VE BEEN BOOK COLLECTING FOR OVER 42 YEARS! haha my ex-wife didnt even list my library in our divorce and I will not even dare say its worth even now! A lot more than the value of our home and cash that we split! I felt justified in keeping it because I got custody of my daughter and did raise her!
Anytime my friend, I'll play and even give instructions should you want me to. Otherwise we can just play. -Tyr

I can't even get the squares straight to call out a move while I'm looking at the board. Blind fold chess is way out of my league. "Yes Hermione, it's exactly like Wizards Chess."

haha. Well, I bet if we played at one of my chess sites I could have you playing well above average in about 6 to 7months. Even faster should you have a talent for it. Some people find it difficult to start but once well explained and with practice often become extremely good at it. I've instructed well over a dozen people that were very bad starters that went on to become extremely strong players! Even very strong experts no less!--Tyr

That's true...I missed it in real time though, and I don't remember it being announced. Probably because I have been working a lot of overtime the last couple months. Sorry about that. :laugh:

What happened to LUV anyway? He has been gone for awhile.

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

If I ever decide to get back into it I'll let you know. Like you I tend to have too many irons in the fire. So many fun things for a retiree to do and so little time. :laugh:

Lucky you. My wife and I both work so time for fun things is severely limited.
She doesnt gripe too much about my hobbies and my comp time playing ches and posting here and I return the favor by not griping about her shopping time and filipina movie watching that she does so much of . Of course any truly spare time for real fun comes when our five year old son is fast asleep.--Tyr

One good thing, if I end up with a chess player from here because of this thread it's fine by me.

Not my fault you don't know that the rules of the one on one debates precludes the debate being about name calling.

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

By the way it is like having had somebody piss in your beer that you can not force me to do as you demand, ask, suggest or attempt to lead..
Get used to it hoss because admin has told me I havent been breaking any major rules here and had every right to reply in the manner that I see fit as long as it doesnt become a problem.
You apparently think everybody must yield to you.
Well let me be blunt. ( AS IF IM NOT ALWAYS SO :laugh:)
FUCK YOU AND THE PUNY LITTLE HORSE YOU RIDE AROUND ON HERE.-:laugh:

Tyr, no one, I repeat NO ONE has tried to force you to do anything . If you can't handle a request for a real debate, that's fine; but don't be trying to claim anyone tried to force you.

Yes , you've tried and failed. That pisses you off to no end. Well , get used to it junior because I am not changing and certainly not obeying any bullshit from you. It doesnt matter if you ask, plead , demand or suggest because it is my decision how to reply to or even to ignore your ego-driven crap. So far I've pretty much chose to reply in exactly a manner that ill suits your little ego. Damn dude , you must think you are some kind of internet gunslinger looking for a kill! Grow up..

Just an educated guess but I'd say that without a doubt the authorities would have to be called before the first case of cold beer was consumed! I've had some experience in that area and I was not the one laying about the place that was knocked-the-hell-out! Man, younger days , dont we all miss tha hell out of 'em!-:beer:--Tyr

[ConHog]

I seriously doubt the authorities would need be called either. It's one thing to post "I'm a bad ass boys" it's another to actually be one. :laugh:

I'd bet a month's salary on you being the pretender.
Care to bet on me being a pretender? They don't not employ candy asses to be club bouncers junior. I was one for over 15 years and did the same the better part of another ten years without pay for a friend that owned a bar! Only stopped when he died and his widow sold the place. Only then because the new owner was a guy that I had knocked the hell out just a few years before! Myself , I have dozens of people that can vouch for the accuracy of my words! How about you?-Tyr

I'll guarantee you that if there is a DP barbecue and you and ConHog bring your wives and children, there will be no brawling. Especially when we, the wives and I, give you guys "the look" ... both of you know what I'm talking about.

So, why don't both of you give it a rest. No sense in continuing to argue something that will not happen.

That right there is some bullshit Sassy. I haven't flamed this guy all day long compared to what 14 threads he's flaming me in right now?

Did I say you "flamed him"? No.

But you guys are beating a dead horse.

How about we talk about how stupid NYC Mayor Bloomberg is. Now there is a stupid cockalorum!!

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

I guess it hasn't dawned on you that you are alone in your little flame game today...

Sure, because you are lousy at it but you try.
You went full bore from Friday last week all thru the weekend . I tried three time to civilly restart with you but when I made a civil post and talked about my son you ignore it and flamed me on another thread. That was the last straw as far as this man is concerned!Dont try to play innocent because you were outmatched and outwitted junior.-Tyr

Well done, ConHog! You kept to the high road.

You're the reason the authorities would have to be called Sassy. Lord knows, my lady would have her claws out watching me eyeball you all night.

Exactly. He started this thread and got bested in it real quickly. Then he tried playing the innocent bit. That just does not cut it with me. Not after he spat on three offers to restart and be civil that I generously gave over the weekend. After that, I told him no more offers . And I damn sure meant it!-Tyr

This was a legitimate offer for a SERIOUS one on one debate, which is why it was placed in THIS forum rather than the steel cage.

You wisely chose to avoid an actual debate; but that doesn't mean my offer wasn't genuine.

Hoss, I seriously doubt that there is a damn thing about you that is genuine!
I will however post when I want , how I want and to whom I want without any regards to your goofy ass spewings.
You just will not accept that you have no control over me. Well get used to it boy.
You will never get a 4th chance to spit on any offer coming from me!
So this let's debate bullshit is your ideal not mine. I only indulged you to laugh at your stupidity.
And because you clearly stated chose the topic. Only to find out how stupid that was .
I dare say , that you would overestimate the speed of a snail just as you overestimate your amazing , blinding brilliance and glory!! --:laugh2: --Tyr

Actually. He's the one who won't debate me. Your topic choise interests me though. Im game, but i get to choose sides. Id take rules violation and let you defend it as free speech

Wise choice. I intentionally framed the question to illicit that conclusion, much as Tyr did in choosing his topic. Besides, I'm abstaining from one on one debates until I get interviewed though. That was the deal on the last one. I got shorted, both in the debate and the bet.

Obviously it is a cherished desire of yours and I being a true CAPITALIST see great promise in enriching myself at the folly of others! It's the American way.-:laugh2:
What? The price of granting YOU your fond desire a bit too steep!??
Ok, I'll be generous , let's make it 200 bucks cash in advance. Deal?

Yeah sure. Just send me your bank account and password.

[ConHog]

Yeah sure. Just send me your bank account and password.

I am a Nigerian prince. I have millions to move into the US, but opening a bank account would be such a hassle and beneath one like myself. Please provide your banking information and I will make a deposit into your account. I will let you keep a portion of the proceeds.

I am on the up and up, I promise

Only person who EVER could stand up to me at the muddy end of the field, he was brilliant sometimes with smartass quips and after we had gone at it in public we'd pm each other with links to the flames from each other that we thought were freaking genius!:laugh2:

Then he got onto the "Jew" thing and that was it........never saw him again.

The old RWA was great. Still don't know why he got so craay-zeee.

Same can be said of OCA, same time frame. Indeed when RWA went nutso on me, OCA was confronting him. Go figure.

[ConHog]

so, no debate?

[Kathianne]

If I read tyr correctly, he's basically starting over with knowledge now of those that engage in debate/discussion and those that just flame. He's new enough, give him a chance.

[Kathianne]

TY CH for repping this.
