In this case, he asked a valid question related to the OP itself. It has made me think and research more upon the subject matter at hand (which has actually been rather fun to look up in more depth). I give him the courtesy of providing a response to his valid questions, and trying to clarify the points within the OP. I have considered his points, where valid.
His challenges to the OP and the definitions and concepts provided within were expected (I just didn't expect the response I got though). I see this as a way to validate and improve upon my previous points, or be proven incorrect and then my thesis would need to be adjusted, changed and/or revised.
In this case, it's about what type of word it is, as that was what was causing the confusion. We each were correct, with the words we were using. He used the incorrect word compete, when he should have been looking up competitiveness instead. This caused the issues he presented from his perspective on this subject. I have clarified Compete, as well as have now clarified Competitiveness. I have seen the tracks he was on, so now I present him the line of thoughts I was on with more detail to help reduce any farther confusion.
Honestly though, if this thread is making it's way to Ktown, responding now will do nothing more than bump the thread on it's way there, as they have occupied the thread for an (amazing) 9 pages. I personally see it more as 9 pages of bumps for the thread, and an excellent example of their/our/my behavior for people to decide for themselves who did what and why and if either side is justified. I'll let those posts just... stand for themselves at this point. People will come to their own conclusions from the previous nine pages of... stuff.
If I desire, I can always repost a more refined edition of this concept again at a later time. One that, if I choose to do so, will hopefully prevent some of the confusion that occurred within this thread as the OP will be more refined and will include a better definition and terminology within.
"Those who must argue definitions have already lost"
You nust cant seem to admit when your wrong. So sad when people are like that
Compete or competitive, either way it does not intrinsically mean to try and improve oneself. You are flat out wrong tgats all there is too that. Just as your op as wrong. The idea you act like ypure trying to present is good, but its actually just a thj ly veiled cry to mommy that those other kids wouldnt be extra nice to you after you couldnt be bothered to read the chat or cooperate in any fashion. So sad, your bad.

You break me up, really you do. You get criticized, then report someone for hurting your tender feelings, and then have the "righteous indignation" to call them "snarky". I did nothing to be worth reporting except bruise your ego which must have the consistency of on overripe orange. Toughen up sonny, it's the internet.
Don't worry, I won't continue to argue with you, as I feel it's as much a waste of time as you do. I do hope you are reporting all my other posts in this thread, just for consistency.

The feelings mutual. I feel exactly the same way about entitled, self-important people like you that you feel about me.
I'll let you get the last word in now, because i know you won't not be able to reply.
Hypocrites gonna hypocrite, and then justify their actions.
