Oh, you obviously meant all 91 definitions of point
at the same time
. It's all so clear now.
Please don't play dumb Hyperspacerebel, it's very unbecoming of you.

If your definition is a quote of the entire dictionary, and I am to assume you are a truthful man, I must take it to be what you meant.

What does the definition of the word "point" have to do with anything? You asked for the definiton of my terms, not the word "point".

Unfortunately, the word point is one of your terms :(
Such a cruel, cruel world, isn't it?

Take this somewhere else please. It's stupid and filling up the RB.
Edit: Seriously though DT. I'm not blaming you for this incident, but do you feel the need to argue with everyone whenever possible? The post starting this all was a joke, yet you feel the need to start an argument. HSR's post (to me), seemed to be sarcastic in nature, yet you treated it as if it was totally serious.

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.
