well a combination of being on here and half a semester of old greek rhetoric has made me argue in a different way than most of the other people i know.
what i dont get is that they all find hilarity in all of my arguments, laughing at me for defending my opinions and such

anyone else here got idiot friends like that?
or a dog maybe?

People are starfishs. If you have an opinion and can actually back it up then you are weird and they are allowed to call you a geek.

I actually enjoy the occasional argument.

Idiots, don't take this as I like stirring stuff up for the purpose of arguing, I just enjoy the actual act of doing so, to a point.

The only thing I don't like about these forums is how fast an arguement can flare.

I don't argue much on or off the forums. For me it's a waste of time.

Rationalizing it doesn't make you less of an argumentative jerk.

Maybe your arguments are weak, and you have nothing to back them up?

This happened to me several times, it's mostly because they're too ignorant to listen to you.

depending on the argument for me; say its just a flame war: i hate those.
but a debate about something logical or an argument about abstractions: i love those and give me different outlooks on situations i normally wouldnt pay attention to.

i back up most of my arguments, unless they are just totally odd and have no true way to back them up.

figured.

so now the question is:
how do i go about retorting these handicaps?
cause ive tried responding to them like i would anything else when im argumentative and that just ends in a flame war.
