Chopin's New Poll: Venus Williams v.s. Laver

[tudwell]

Venus would destroy Laver. Modern technology allows her to hit with speed and spin that Laver never saw, plus he has to cover more ground than her, which probably makes up for the inherent physical differences between men and women. The scoring advantage makes it virtually hopeless for Laver.

Yeah, I prefer not to waste my time debating biased idiots. Like I said, you're like a showy musician who just doesn't get it. My signature shows as much.

Your only response is take cheap shots at me, further confirming your insecurities. Keep going CyBorg! You're adding a lot to the boards (I forget, you're on the "good" posters)!

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were done. But, no, no. Keep going.

Dance monkey. Dance for us all.

Thank you--someone sane. Laver would obviously win easily on equal footing, but the scenario was designed for Laver to lose--and to test the TW Historians.

Who's the more foolish, the fool, or the fool who follows him?

Ah, I missed this gem of a post. Yeah--if you're not smart enough to get the joke, it's not funny. Good point.

[Chopin]

Another straight set victory of Chopin over CyBorg! 6-2, 6-0. The "analysis" in the first set gets him a couple of games.

The licensed fool is often one of the more self-aware of characters. Glad to see that you haven't thought this one through either. Shouldn't you know a bit about fools, being such a Shakespeare enthusiast?

Do come prepared next time.

Right, I am aware, while you are the one who blindly follows along. Good.

This one's a natural, I take it.

Ouch. What a weak way to go out.

You're providing a great service to the boards, my friend--people are going to read this thread tomorrow and it's going to brighten their entire days! Keep on participating in the postmodern magical carpet ride.

You did provide the analysis of your own role--I just put it in terms that you could understand.

Besides, the more you participate in this thread, the more popular it becomes, and the longer it stays.

I see you've been reading the Jerry Garcia book on postmodernism. Fitting.

I prefer the writings of Haruki Murakami--ever read "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle"?

This is precisely what I want. I don't want you to leave. I enjoy seeing you become transparent, if you could get ever more so. The more of a joke, the better.

Lucky you. Your posts never surprise me in any interesting way--same old idiocy.

Knowledge is a wonderful thing, I think. But it is nothing if not applied.

You know, I was really amused when you linked that jstor article on this board, because it said so much about you.

Intelligent, knowledgeable people display their intelligence in the ways in which they are capable of applying information. In other words, one may have read something in a journal article or a book, then is capable of remembering those details and later apply them in appropriate context.

This way they become useful.

You humour me so much because at most all that you are capable of is name-dropping. And that's no virtue. It's just more of the same kind of self-flattery that we've come to expect of you.

Do drop some more names. You sound super-impressive when you do it. Should I throw in Derrida? Foucault, for good measure?

[Chopin]

I think this little exchange has proved who the real troll here is. Goodbye CyBorg...

You know, I don't think you to be an idiot. I think you're just as plain as most folks. You've read a bit of this and that in your life. But you can't really grasp the heavy ideas, so you have to fake it.

I don't mind jerks, assholes. They're often straight forward. It's the two-faced types (you've even admitted it yourself) that I often can't stand.

Except when they've got no ammunition. Then it's just plain comedy.
