I accept your concession. In the future, when having an argument you should not just negatively snipe at the other person but constructively say things. This isn't about being more unpleasant, it's about curbing tendencies toward laziness. If you are always content to say "nuh uh though" (effectively), you'll never learn and improve. When defeated or frustrated, try to get abreast of the disagreement and have the courage to posit your own interpretation instead of just crying about the other person's.

I'd say "never listen to retards" but Hegel in his own History of Philosophy says that the glory of Platonic dialogue is that the interlocutors take each other fundamentally seriously and try to interpret them charitably rather than unilaterally deciding to bypass their disagreements. I'm not sure how Hegel would react to the actual, literal retarded people in this thread though.
