Gee wizz shirl, when will you learn.
OK how bout a lesson? Up for it?
Give it a try nuh?
OK, Discussion - noun from discuss - examine by argument.
OK so far.
So a normal, healthy, rational, intelligent and, in your case unfamiliar, discussion involves arguments / points which persons counter or support with arguments or points of their own. Get it?
So one person says or writes something. The other deals with what that person says or writes. Follow? For example, you could read your posts and then read my responses to your posts. See? I took your words and countered with my own points. That's how mature, intelligent people carry on a discussion.
Here's your version.
Shirl: "Ugah bugoah" Or some vaguely rational but ultimately stupid pronouncement.
IntelligentBeing: But shirl, you said such and such, doesn't that mean such and such? How can you therefore conclude such and such?
Shirl: ARRGHHHH! LIAR! DUNIAH!
IntelligentBeing:
Shirl:
Shirl, do you see what I'm saying? Now go and re-read what was said by yourself and others in the discussion. And TRY to deal with the arguments of those whose opinions differ from yours with arguments of your own.
Lesson over ...
Later Shirl ...
