/\ For someone who thinks I'm incapable of civil discourse and basically a troll you respond to me a lot. :chin:

It's not that you can't, it's that you usually don't

I respond to a lot of people a lot. You get more responses than many because you post more than many, and often in the types of threads I frequent. And since you usually respond to any comments I make on yours (always assuming I'm trying to antagonize even when I'm partially or mostly agreeing) and I almost always respond to those who respond to me (one way or another), that also puts you higher in response count. If you frequented religion, psychology, philosophy, and science threads you'd get even more responses. Plus I sometimes go for a run through the forum games threads for a few days/weeks at a time. You could pad your responses there if it helps make you feel special.

Then you?re only reading my more spicy posts.

It?s just that in this sea of liberalism my contradictory political position stands out in such sharp contrast to make it appear that I post more.

Don?t let me stop you from antagonizing and don?t be ashamed to admit that?s? what you?re doing.

That?s okay, I feel quite special already. :D

Let's see if I get the emoticon right for that statement:
