...I'm just going to quote the whole thing.
'I don't think you understand. It's 4AM here. This is the last post for the day from me.' Sure didn't sound apologetic to me..
Hence, if I read your fanfic. Don't back up your side of the argument with information that is not even legitimate.
Human emotions differ; you cannot possibly interpret the intentions of the other person accurately in order to add a tag. While it's true in this case I might be the one labeling your comment, you have the freedom of denying it as well.
'..no matter what comment a person makes about you or towards you, only you will be able to add a tag to that comment (whether it's bad or good for example). '
This only proves our conversation goes in an endless circumlocution, thus having no ending ground, if we both keep trying to disprove one another. =/
Logical, but there's a huge difference in telling one the plain truth, or telling one the truth with evidence. Look at me: You can't honestly blame me for being skeptical, so I did what a rational person would do: assume.
Also, could it be you possibly misinterpreted my statement in the first place? I never intended on questioning your legitimacy and trustworthiness; all I ever really wanted to do was pull out a random, fanatical assumption on this mysterious question. Unfortunately...
That alone sprouted into this.
As you predicted below, no. This example is much too broad to focus on one aspect. The little boy clings on to his belief until he gradually learns from experience over time that Santa Claus, is in fact, not real. We don't have that kind of time. There's also the matter of unwillingness: why would the older boy want to destory the younger boy's sense of childish innocence and belief?
In this case, why would you want to refute my innocent, sarcastic assumption when evidently it won't get you anywhere?
Ah, but the question of whether or not the older boy is willing to persist in converting the younger boy despite denials...think about it.
The younger boy holds no experience as the older boy (I have no knowledge of your 'question'). Thus, the younger boy begins to question and assume the older boy's statement nonsensically. (I assume that your question is empty air). The older boy tries to convince the younger boy that Santa Clause indeed does not exist. The younger boy does not listen, due to his lack of knowledge. Older boy tries to prove he has more experience, more wisdom, more intelligence; younger boy laughs it off.
Younger boy can't see it the older boy's way.

...Don't go all omniscient on me. It sounds ridiculously illogical when presented through posts.
From the Ash + Gary example, all I received was the fact that Gary didn't walk away and say, "I'm not scared."
Either that or Gary doesn't like Ashie's jokes~
And Naminé, if you ever do pair up with Krafty Quill...
...I will (be sorely tempted to) tell him~
then again there's that *other* method. I won't mind that at all. Preferred, right?
Oh, and thanks for the picture, G-man. It was a cute comeback. ^_^
Krafty Quill said:Whoa! All that while I was gone? :\
Well it's nice to see Naminé has entered this conversation in a big way. I'll get to you in a minute but let me address your twin first. I'm probably not going to be back on PC later today so I might as well post now.
Okay, Lily. You didn't force me to do anything and I replied of my own free will and choice. You're right, it was totally my decision but I don't see why you had to include that little bit at the beginning of your post. Perhaps, maybe you thought I was complaining? I was really only apologizing for not being able to reply sooner.
'I don't think you understand. It's 4AM here. This is the last post for the day from me.' Sure didn't sound apologetic to me..
Actually, I'll have to disagree with you. The example is accurate in my opinion. If you've read my fic The Target, The Victim, The Saviour you'd see how I tackled this issue of human emotion. In a nutshell, I'll tell you that no matter what comment a person makes about you or towards you, only you will be able to add a tag to that comment (whether it's bad or good for example). No matter what they say. You, and NOT them, will choose whether what they're saying is hurtful, complementary, provocative, e.t.c. And mind you this is always the case.

With that said, the most you could do with the comment about my question being empty air is suggest how I should take it. You may not have intended to provoke me but that is the way I perceived your statement. To me, that statement greatly questioned my legitimacy and trustworthiness and so, like any rational person would, I refuted it immediately. Like wise, Ash may or may not have intended for his theory on Gary being scared to be provocative, but nevertheless, Gary will act upon the way he, himself, perceived Ash's comment. The action of denying your claim was a reflection on how I felt about it and not on whether or not you wanted to provoke me.
It would only be fair for everyone to have their own interpretations. But tell me, if a person interprets something according to their own views and yet another person KNOWS that this interpretation is wrong, wouldn't it be correct procedure for the knowledgeable person to show the other the 'truth'?

An example of this would be, let's say, one five year old boy and a fourteen year old boy. The toddler assumes that Santa Claus is real and he holds his evidence from the fact that his parents told him so, and that he sees presents under the tree, and all the commercials and so on. But the older boy, being more experienced, knows that Santa is nothing but a fable. Wouldn't it be correct for him to set the boy straight?

You may say no to this question (maybe the little boy's faith shouldn't be crushed so soon) and it may even be the case that according to the toddler, this older boy's 'knowledge' is questionable (after all, how can he trust the 'empty' words of this older boy given all the evidence he has seen?). If the older boy feels it is necessary to tell the younger one what he knows, he will. Just as I will tell you that your claim is wrong if I'm sure that is the case.

You responded just the way I expected you to.
...Don't go all omniscient on me. It sounds ridiculously illogical when presented through posts.
I purposely used that example of our assumptions to get my point across. But as you know, that is not the case with the question. On your part, you assume that I may be lying. But there are no assumptions whatsoever on my part and therefore I have some sort of foundation to disagree with your assumption. Tell me which wins, assumption or knowledge? But I guess the real problem here is that my 'knowledge' cannot be trusted either. Possibly, rightfully so, as you have not seen any 'evidence' to my 'claim'. Thankfully, you quoted my words regarding my concern of this matter.
I did say: it really doesn't matter if you believe me or not. Which is exactly why I have no incentive to even prove myself. So why bother refuting you in the first place? If you didn't get it in the Ash and Gary example or the example I put above, I suggest you revise my posts and you will discover why. And yes, you may continue to be skeptical until you receive further information as the information I have given you of the question's existence is clearly not enough according to your standards.
