    I am a proud boardsie.

    However I have a deep dark secret. Years ago on the internet I was making an argument which proved to be simply incorrect.

    The laughter, the ridicule... I could only bring myself to think about it lately after years of denial...


    So friends, any traumatic incidents of you being incorrect on the internet.... I know acceptance is the hard part, but after you accept you were incorrect maybe you could teach us from the mistakes you made.
    It is an important lesson and everyone needs to learn.

    Even more No than Squod. Ive never been wrong on the internet. Ever. More infallible than the pope I am. Better looking too.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    This one time, I didn't get electrocuted. Man did I feel silly that day.

    The thing to do when you discover your wrong is to make a quiet exit from the discussion and lick your wounds for a couple of days. Then make your return and hope that everyone has forgotten about you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,076 ✭✭✭Eathrin


    I thought I was wrong once...turns out that was the only time I was wrong


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 173 ✭✭kingtubby


    I admire the honesty on this thread and wish I kept my internet output to the high standards as of those stated above.

    I salute you sirs, I salute you...

    Wrong?

    My logic is perfect, therefore I can never be wrong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,537 ✭✭✭KKkitty


    Even when I'm wrong I'm right :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    I was wrong once back in the early 90's, luckily for me that was before t'internet and there is now no written proof.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 591 ✭✭✭spankysue


    When you're wrong on the Internet, just call the person you're debating/arguing with a Nazi. Works every time.

    On a completely unrelated note, I once got into an internet argument with Judd Hirsch's son, called him a Nazi and signed off....

    I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong.

    Mostly.

    FFS.... Facts, sure they don't prove anything.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 825 ✭✭✭Kev.OC


    Honestly, I don't think I've ever been right... :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,695 ✭✭✭December2012


    I wasn't wrong. But I wasn't right!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,514 ✭✭✭PseudoFamous


    I was once wrong on the internet. Rather than accept I was wrong, I pretended that I was right and valiantly defended my position until everyone lost interest. I am both proud and ashamed of that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,820 ✭✭✭FanadMan


    About a week ago - was called on something I thought I knew as fact. I researched it an admitted it here in AH.....so there :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    I cannot be wrong

    Me and the Pope have that in common :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 329 ✭✭dermiek


    I've been wrong on many occasions.
    My wife, however, is never wrong.....

    I think it was produced by King Tubby so I guess you aren't entirely wrong.:pac:

    Brilliant piece of music

    That's the cowards way out, at that stage it's time to throw logic out the window and tell them their whole argument is ad hominem.

    Pfft obviously not.
