Lol, well, at least your comment did something Funden; they aren't trolling each other anymore, they are after you now.
I'm the tank boy. That's what I was made for ;)
Well if you are the tank, I think I suddenly turned rogue, and happened to bind vanish to all my keys.... I feel so unnoticed, but I might just be on a coffee low/high thing... I should stop drinking stuff I dont know what is... Maybe I am a bit drunk or sleep deprived....

E: Snipe.
Here's my phone number.
Do I really need to point (ha!) out why this is bad comparison or are you just having a laugh?

Neither one narrows the scope in question.

If you insist. You are just fine when you are posting in normal debates or fun threads, but here you seem to have lost all self constraint. Seriously, you argue about something totally stupid and random (which normally would go in the RB, but in this case, it isn't "Not worthy of a thread random", but stupid random. So when I voice my concern over this subject, your first reply is childish, immature, and, just for redundancy, and completely unsophisticated. I did not expect that from you, and just to let you know, you're reputation in my book as been totally trashed.
You obviously don't understand what playful bantering is. Maybe Deepthought can link you a dictionary to look it up in.
It's what hard-headed people do with each other when there's nothing else to do.
Meh. Even if it is bantering, it was done in bad taste.
Also: It is raining outside, I have something and my asthma decided to start another campaign to make me kick the bucket.
Needless to say I'm pissed with the world. So take that how you will.

You are quite right. I was under the impression that you would do that yourself, because in the context of the discussion, and that you know me to be of at least relativly sound mind, you would have the wherewithal to realize that I did not mean Your sharp or tapering end is the same as my sharp or tapering end?
In your example, with the white pages, there is no context. If you were to give me your area and name, for instance, I would have a far smaller area in which to go wrong, and some simple testing would soon put me on the right track (certain name/area combinations excluded, Bill Smith etc).

It was received or taken in bad taste. I don't have much in the way of taste when I did it. It's a parody reference quite common is modern media.

Yet both those things are found outside the reference in question, so the dictionary is no different than the white pages.
So, to link a dictionary is not to define your terms exactly in the same way as to link a phone book is to not give you my phone number.
And sure, I've said quite repeatedly here that I live Florida. That narrows a good 98% possibilities, just like the context might narrow out a good number of the possibilities. That still does not give a phone number, nor a definition.

It's not just "a link to a dictionary" though. It's "a link to a dictionary within the context of a discussion". Now, since I have not been talking about implements used for cutting or die rolls or a large number of things noted on that dictionary website, it can be safe to exclude any of the definitions that do mention them, and only use the few which would make sense within the context of the debate.

94.03% actually.
That still does not give a phone number,It gives me an, albiet large, working set, though. If you were to, hypothetically, give me your name, it would cut it down to an even smaller size.

The debate itself doesn't make sense, so to label sense as a necessary property of any proposition found within the debate doesn't follow.
And a "working set" is still not a definition, nor a phone number.

By that same logic you should be capable of working out my phone number.

If you let me send you the phone bill, sure!

I've got a 1-800 number under my name, use that one :P

From many countries (such as
the UK
), US toll-free numbers can be dialed, but the caller first gets a recorded announcement that the call is not free; in fact, on many carriers, the cost of calling a 'toll-free' number can be higher than to a normal number

That's why you get out of the stone age and use VoIP software like Skype.

That's why you get out of the stone age and use VoIP software like Skype. We both know I'm not actually going to look up your phone number, that would be creepy. My point is this: it is possible, via trial and error, to find your number. In this specfic case you have selected (specifically for this reason, I suspect), this trial and error is time consuming and possibly costly. This is not the case for our dictionary scenario, however.
