He's not wrong if he's talking about little league, but that brings us right back around to the caliber of people we're talking about here.

"caliber" does not belong in a sentence referring to the player base of P99

2. Ordnance . the diameter of the bore of a gun taken as a unit of measurement.
3. degree of capacity or competence; ability: a mathematician of high caliber.

You are using #3 and he appears to be referencing #4.

If you substitute the words competence or ability into his sentence both make perfect sense.

P.S. I HAVE HIGH CALIBER ORRUAR DAMN YOU

That's perfectly fine.

I don't mind having a difference of opinion. It's his insistence that #3 is invalid because he prefers #4 that deteriorates his position.

What the hell are you talking about? I did not specify which definition of the word I meant, and Loraen already pointed out the flaw in your preferred definition. Your brain is seriously damaged. If you were HAL-9000, I'd be pressing translucent rectangles in an attempt to fix the problem.

I don't consider you part of the player base, more like the player roof. Though I'm sure dictionary-boy will fight over the definition of player base.

Why are you so angry about your own forumquest undertaking? Relax guy. You need a rest.

Don't mistake what I say as anger. It is utter astonishment at how much closer we're getting to the world of Idiocracy every day.

The Idiot Defense - you have identified my flaws, therefore you must be mad.

I am saddened that we live in a world where pointing out the stupid is automatically read as an angry gesture.

I honestly hope he's not thinking little league because if that's the case, he's a bigger idiot than I thought.

I'm sure the thousands of kids in cuba playing baseball watch hundreds of hours of film.

TBH I think you should just be banned from ever using analogies.

You really should do your research before you post anything that is "real life" related.

I honestly hope you are not suggesting that raiding on P1999 should require the same time expenditure as professional baseball, because if that's the case you are . . . pretty much what I expected.
