In other words, "Yes". Go on, be a better person than all the other complainers and admit it: you're only bothered about someone starting an "OT" thread when you disagree with them. The "OT" thing is just a way of you complaining about one of your opponent's posts without having to say "I don't want you to post because you disagree with me", aka the truth.

So we both agree that Chapman is a car-hater then, because everything he says is exactly what someone who hated motorists (except themselves) would say (he failed to come up with a *single* example to the contrary, despite trying, back in the days when he hadn't "killfiled" me and he still wrongly thought that he'd be able to win an argument with me by using his usual underhand tactics). We're getting somewhere at last, I think!

I made the counter-argument before saying it. It was simply to denote the particular foolishness of your assertion, and without it my answer would still have been perfectly valid and comprehensive. It's short for "Whatever you say", like you might say to a complete headcase who talks utter crap but gets aggressive with you if you don't keep pretending to agree with him. Not that I'm suggesting that you are such a person (necessarily)...temporarily treating you like one was simply meant to be a mild insult, and a way of making out that you'd said something rather assinine (which I think you now know too really).

I hope that answers your queries satisfactorily.
