Mastery, well spotted It is most definitely a synonym, but where I hail from, an argument is just taking
a contrary point of view than for no other reason than to be able to do it.
A debate would be a sensible checking of the facts, and putting your point of view over with a clear and
concise objective to sway those reading, to your way of thinking.
Currently you seem to be avoiding both. Re-hashing my words just lacks some savoire faire.
Your intention appears to be just to make yourself look a little smarter than the average Joe, so while you
are into dictionary.com, look up smug

I just got my first real transport ship last night (Container ship) and trading right now is far too easy, I personally would like to see the rules regarding pirating and the attacking of traders lightened a little bit. Would always help quell those complains on the forums I've seen about people just trading straight into battleships. Just my 2 cents however.

Dictionary.com? Sorry, dont need some website, I prefered listening in school. I also dont care whether people think Im smarter than the average Joe. I know my own intelligence.
I dunno Hoodlum, I wouldnt call you smug but then I havent talked to you that much so I guess you could be.
As for a debate, you havent answered any points except to say in so many words that we shouldnt think, just obey the general trend set by a few 'high rollers'.
I say pirates should be allowed to pirate in cruisers, as people have said there is currently little threat to traders from pirates. The points against consist of people regurgitating current ID info or current rule. Well who is to say this never changes? It would be a pretty stagnant mod if we never tried to improve things.
I assure you I am 'chilled'. You should see the pure hatred on some forums, discovery is mild.
I am sure Hoodlum is 'chilled' too, arguements happen on forums. I think it livens up the place, I certainly enjoy it.
Imagine how boring the world would be if everyone agreed with one another.
Anyway that is not the issue, pirating in cruisers! Yes, No, maybe?
Hmmm, I think I better make a new thread for this (sorry original poster)
Sorry, Fellow Hoodlum, for any offense. I am a pretty insensitive guy.
So Mastery, we will all have to bow to your superior intellect and insensitivity then. Your smugness is now
only slightly over shadowed by your arrogance by the way.
Us poor mere mortals will just have to continue to use the world wide web for our reference, while your
head is obviously so big, it can store every conceivable fact you are going to need for the rest of your life.
Entertain us more with your excellent wit and repartee ... And try to make the admin's jobs really harder
now with a call for a massive increase in the rules and regulations, which so many people ignore already.
Me, I'd like to move the mod on, but not to the detriment of it's current position, and certainly not because
you think it ought to be changed with a series of complicated and contrived rules for the convenience of
pirating, or those just capship whoring, or intending to.

You know, I almost answered those points, but since I made another clear topic about the issue I dont see why I should sink to that level and let things get personal.
Thanks for the entertainment, oh chilled one, I bow to your obviously brilliant mind, for how else could you have made such sarcastic comments.
Im pretty sure you've both heard the special olympics joke, and it definitely applies here. i doubt you even know each other, but ur insulting each other's personalities, which really can't be shown through text.
