See the "now I'll try to turn the tables and accuse him of avoiding some nonsense I just made up"-phase is a pretty common one as well.

This isn't a thread about children's underwear, is it? You must have your private tabs confused with this thread.

You can continue this for weeks, but the only person you're lying to is yourself. Or do you think the average person can't see what you're doing?

Am I being pedantic, and an asshole? Yeah. But I'm not wrong. Like you were. And when I am, I actually admit to it. I'm here to write because I enjoy writing on forums. You're here because you can't wrangle your infantile ego.

If the girls from your school saw you acting like this, they'd laugh even harder than they previously did. (I assume you're in school, as I assume you're a child, as anyone adult having a tantrum like yours would be so much more shameful.)

All trivia games are just testing the luck of the players, right? Which one was most lucky to gifted their knowledge? Unless you just phrased something poorly?

This is a lesson for you. I gonna make you act so childishly that you're gonna remember it for the rest of your life and everytime you do, you'll cringe at how infantile you were. Can't wait to see what you'll devolve into by next week! If you're not a lost cause than that cringe you'll always carry with you might make you think twice about what you write and also make you more capable of accepting that you're fallible and mistakes happen.

Which is more an adult response to someone pointing out you've made a mistake?

Hmmmm? ;>
