If you're claiming that the argument that someone's opinion is not relevant to a discussion because you are not that person is not complete garbage then what can I say, except that it's pointless to discuss anything with a person whose argumentative reasoning is on the level of a six year old.

Ahh, didn't take you long to resort to insults again. Seems it's a fitting style you apply.
There is nothing wrong with my reading comperhension, nor does my mind refuse to read the words written. If that was actually the case, I wouldn't be able to perform a job as that's kinda crucial in alot of jobs.
I don't claim that someone's opinion is not relevant to a discussion because you are not that person. I just said I'm not Zidane. What I do claim is that in a discussion about MY FEELING regarding verbal vs physical aggression, the opinion of Zidane is not relevant. Would I want to discuss the overal view on verbal vs physical aggression, then ofcourse his and your opinion is relevant.
Perhaps another example: If I want to paint a wall in my house, the opinion of others whether it's a nice color or not is not relevant. If I however wish to paint a wall at my office, then the opinion of others IS relevant. I know, a simplistic example.
Nway, I don't want to start this arguement again. This is what I'm trying to explain, nothing (read: NOTHING) else.
