    Ok, Ok, how about this:
    In your case telling the "truth" has become an art form, one only practised by you.:cheers2:

    That's not healthy...


    But in all seriousness, yes, I do admit when I am wrong and don't mind when others point it out to me... It's not like I listen when they talk anyways...

    Ah, you mastered the art of tuning others out...Though I tend to do with all, there is no discrimination with me, all get tuned out...

    Here's a fun idea!

    First, make a list of all the usernames of folks on this thread who've stated they have no problem admitting that they're wrong. Next, sift through all of the posts they've made on these forums, and count how many times they have made an admission of error.

    When you've finished, post your results here, including an "Offered a Point" to "Surrendered a Point" ratio.

    Unless I very much mistaken (fat chance) there's a large sack of something that smells of false humility in here...

    I think I'm good at admitting Im wrong, sometimes it takes me awhile to realize it, but as soon as I do, I let know the other person that they are right and I apologize.

    Read again the stuff in the purply box. I'M not gonna do it.

    To be honest, I wasn't seriously suggesting that anyone else do it either.

    FOOLED YOU!!!

    I'm not taking on Mystical Shrooms post, that's for sure.:rolleyes:

    I do think people in this thread have been honest.

    I tend to say;
    I'll chill out a bit then.
    Fair Enough.
    Sorry, I'll clarify.
    Right, I see.
    Yes, I'm convinced.
    (all said by me in the last 5 days)


    Like I said, the truly dispicable liars and decievers etc are not going to post anything in this thread are they?

    Unless I am right.:)

    I concede.

    You're very wrong, and often.

    My perception of your wrongness ratio is likely scewed because I've primarily witnessed you in debate with xexon. It would take near-superhuman effort to come across as demonstrably wrong whilst debating with him.

    Maybe you're confusing a difference of opinion with being wrong.
    If I am so so so wrong, point it out, correct my errors.
    Watch me be humble.

    I have a hard time admitting I'm wrong.
    Probably because I'm too stubborn and too proud.
    Which sucks.

    I was kidding, man. Relax.

    Geesh. Is it really such a big deal to be wrong?
