But you already ruled that statements of opinion can't cause arguments. Now you're saying that they can, but only if they are in response to another? You've created a contrived, convoluted mess. Specify exactly what you think it means to start an argument.

"I want to punch him, he deserves it". Someone punches him. Indirect.
Person described above just Punches him.direct
"I think you wil ldo this". Indirect.
"You will do this". Direct.
Stupid boy. The two examples are completely disparate. In the first instance of the first example, the harm is indirect because the instigator isn't interacting with the victim. In the second, both actions involve direct, harmful (or at least offensive) participation with the subject. If you're going to try something like this, you have to try to be consistent.

You accused me of something I did not do. That started it
Even if you didn't understand the particular phrase I used, you certainly understood the overall meaning. All that was left was to argue over semantics, which you inanely did.

Quote:
"No, not really" is saying i am wrong
Yes, but not so blatantly. In any case, it's irrelevant. Did you not read this text? "The problem is not that you claimed to be correct. The problem is this: That's all you did".

The last one is the only one then, by your standards, that could arguably be considered asserting I am right with no backing
And the last one is the only one that I criticised for it.

Quote:
Though by your standards, it was further clarification
Ah, now you are attributing standards to me. Did it convey any information that wasn't conveyed in your previous message?
