Not to beat a dead horse but is this YOUR idea of a contribution?

[adrina]

You find yourself agreeing with me much more often than you care to admit. Amiright?

No.

Hard as you may try, you won't win a Pulitzer here.

No.

Your most intelligent post yet!

Your most intelligent post yet!

Occasionally he's prone to intelligence. Very occasionally, but it happens. Even a broken clock is correct twice a day. Granted his record is not as good, but then ya know...

What about a slow moving clock?. Technically broken but only correct once a day. You aren't a very deep thinker, are you?

 

[adrina]

You are indeed the ever ready bunny of idiocy. Kind of appropriate being Easter an' all.

I don't recall the Bible verse covering The Easter Bunny.

That was kind of lame. Even for you. You've been losing your snappiness lately. Perhaps you need a break.

You don't inspire me very much.

 

[adrina]

And apparently no one else does much either. Go ahead though. Blame me for your general lack of intellect and sharpness. I can take it. Doesn't make it true, but then you have a penchant for delusion. What's one more.

Still not inspired.

 

[adrina]

Surprised, I'm not.

 

[Saint_Ann]

Surprised, I'm not.

Talking to you is like trying to cut tomatoes with a dull knife.

 

[adrina]

Yeah, still really lame. Speaking of lack of sharpness.

 

[Chancellor_Palpatine]

Talking to you is like trying to cut tomatoes with a dull knife.

Did you just say something about tomatoes?

I'm very bad in certain English terms and/or expressions; is this what would be construed as a rhetorical question?

If not, what would imply: if the premise of your question quoted above is correct, the "no" answer is pretty predictable.



What kind of question would it be called?

I don't know if it fits into a particular niche. Adrina's responses are always predictable. There is no possible way for her to answer 'yes' in public and still save face among her fellow Georges. SO, knowing her answer in advance was merely a device meant to point it out. When backed into a corner she always reverts to name calling.

She did seem a little disappointed, don't you think? I think she secretly desires to be my friend. Or maybe she worships and fears me. That's really been far more effort than I intended for a response.

Yes fine, but who gives a damn about her? my inquiry is to know if this question you asked fits what a 'rhetorical' question is, or is it called something else.

Since you're a native eng speaker n all.

That was all. i promise you. Really.

I guess. Literature isn't really "my area".

I almost dropped a tear at that deeply honest reply.

for comparison purposes only...

16 polemic poli sci threads (6 of first 10)
6 n/d threads and personal attack vanity threads (1 of first 10 -by title alone)
11 sexually oriented topic threads (ZERO of first 10)
7 general interest (?) threads (3 of first 10)

the "politics" sub-board (as a gb cleansing aparatus) is an epic fail
trolling / personal attacking is alive and well
sex - as a topic - is on drop box auto fill-in
stuff - as in stuff - still peaks small immediate interests

25 of 40 last posts in threads represent different screen names
28 of 40 last posts in threads represent recognizable 'regulars'
of the top 40 most recently active threads:
..... 8 hours since last post in # 40
..... sexually oriented threads register the most response/hits by far

I admit that I'm partial to BBX because he often amuses me.

But I wish that TalkRadio/FakeNews, RoryN -the most prolific political threads starters- and others diversified their threads instead of just keeping them polemic.
To their credit, BND and EF were among the few political posters who did it.

I've seen a lot of interest from many other posters whenever political threads were less "good Trump and bad Liberals" versus "bad Trump and bad conservatives" ,
and also touched upon more general themes.

I can't start such threads myself, because I lack the background.
