Still ready for that debate?

Xantar. I wasn't joking.

Oh, so you mean you were actually calling me gay? Erm, isn't that flaming? Not that I care because I've gotten used to it by now, but still, I expect better of you.

2: Xantar, you tell you debate because it's fun, but you've always brought this this as a match or a challenge. Doesn't sound very fun to me.

Well, let's try an example. You must have seen some soccer matches. Not just professional ones but also matches in a backyard where the goal is the space between a pair of shoes on the ground or something. In fact, you've probably participated in one.

In all those matches, have you never seen someone saying "We're the greatest. We will rock you" (or whatever the equivalent is in Dutch) before the match. I'll bet you have.

I'll also bet you've heard that kind of thing from friends who mean absolutely no offense. It's just smack talk that people do all in the fun of a competitive spirit. You've probably seen soccer matches where people throw that kind of stuff aroud and yet they are just out there to have fun and get a little exercise. I'm sorry if you didn't see it that way, but I honestly thought it was pretty clear. A little confident talk is part of the game.
