Maybe you're the one who should pick up a dictionary, eh? To imply someone is obtuse is basically to call them stupid. Rarely is obtuse used for any other purpose than to imply stupidity. If you want to backtrack and take a
sliver of the meaning of obtuse (sounds to me as though you skimmed a Thesaurus...great for you) to try and mask your obvious insult, go right ahead, but it doesn't change my statement one bit.

Believe me, should I decide to insult someone there's not going to be any ambiguity about it.

Nice. Internet tough guy, eh? Love people like you. If this is an attempt to goad me, consider yourself successful, and do your worst.

Secondly I care because his response to me was absolutely asinine and asinine posts like that are borderline trolling.

It wasn't asinine...again, maybe you should pick up that dictionary your so fond of but can seem to comprehend.

I just pointed out all the reasons his asinine comment is asinine. And WTF do you think that is except "discuss, argue, and participate in discussions"?

It's called being a dick.

Thanks for the clarification that you're a dick. Seriously, you don't seem like a very bright bulb. If you don't understand what I mean by contributing without insulting, I rather doubt that you understand much of what is going on period. That might explain why you don't believe that Castrol GTX performs the same as a good synthetic, too. In fact, it also explains how you could make such a uninformed statement about base stocks not meaning much. I mean, hell, in one breath you say base stocks don't matter, then you go on to praise their current level of quality...which is it?
You come off as being a bit below average. Is that correct, or do you just not present yourself very well?
