Asked, answered, and presented in evidence as fact. I'm not going to continue humoring your logical fallacies with these circular arguments, amigo.
It's relevant because one of us has been educated to impart both linguistic knowledge and communication skills to others, and the other is an aerospace engineer whose best argument continues to be a barrage of ad hominems. Suffice it to say, I'm not moved by your critique of my reading skills.
"Please let me know exactly what your problems are with what I have said, as obviously your previous attempts at doing so have failed to communicate a tangible point"
Imagine thinking that your educational background is relevant to why you continually cry about everything.
Don't worry, I'm sure you're itching to call me racist or something,like you do to everything else.
Imagine thinking that ad hominem is relevant here but that a credential fallacy is okay. I'll give you a moment to Google that one up, since it may be above the level required to teach 11 year olds to speak the only language they know.

There is no reason to blatantly insult anyone, and this is not acceptable.
You're pretending that you didn't mean something that you clearly did, simply because you used different, less explicit words. That's not how communication in general works, but it is how semantic argumentation works. What's your academic area of expertise?
And what are you saying I meant with what? For being so critical of what I specifically said,, you sure seem to be pretty vague about why you've chosen to become offended by it.
You teach middle school English. You're not an expert at anything, besides maybe telling Susie to stop chewing gum.
I'm an aerospace engineer for what it's worth. Don't see how it's relevant.

Repeatedly attacking someone is not to be tolerated, and bringing up yours or anyone's career isn't relevant.
You insulted every single other person on this forum, then when I called you out for it you tried to pretend that you were including yourself in the insult despite using the phrase “you people” when making the insult, which inherently excludes yourself from the insult.
Why do you behave this way?
You sound like you're taking this all very personally. Maybe you should just mute me if you're not mature enough to avoid being triggered.
Whoa, it’s the buzz word, guys! He’s so cool when throws around buzz words, right guys?
so childish. Jesus Christ.
So you feel insulted by that I believe that everyone on this site has a personality disorder? Wow, that's pretty insulting to the vast majority of people with personality disorders who don't use this site.
And I used "you people" when referencing the all or nothing nature of you people. Is having an all or nothing view that insulting to you?
It's really not a buzzword, kid. You're throwing a fit because you need to feel like a victim. You're insulted because the idea that someone may view you as mentally ill does not support your unwarranted view that mentally ill people are inferior to you. Grow up, boy

Again, mental health shouldn't be discussed or thrown around here. It is not your job to insinuate, imply, or in any sense comment on the mental health of others in relevance to anything on this site.
Please, feel free to show me the lie then. You sound like you're taking this all very personally. Maybe you should just mute me if you're not mature enough to avoid being triggered.
Does everyone on this forum have some sort of personality disorder or something? It is like always so all or nothing with you people.
I think it's a little strange how you take issue with other people's ability to read, argue about semantics, and then pretend like inference isn't a thing.
Hmm, and where am I pretending that inference isn't a thing? Again, if you're trying this hard to feel like you're being attacked, that's on you. Some people need to always feel like they are the victim. Not a week goes by that you specifically, Beavis, are not crying about something or another being offensive.
Your inference is worth precisely its weight in gold. Don't hurt yourself trying to get it on the scale now.

This sort of dredging up other moments to throw more fuel on the fire are not helpful to the conversation, and are unacceptable.
You literally said “you people.” Don’t try to wriggle out of being a jerk. We can all read here.
I also never claimed that I'm not being a jerk. You people get so touchy about semantics.
You’re a liar and you got called out for it. The fact that you persist is further proof that you’re probably the only one here with a personality disorder.
Please, feel free to show me the lie then. You sound like you're taking this all very personally. Maybe you should just mute me if you're not mature enough to avoid being triggered.
Ah yes, now my attacks are "vicious" according to some former mercenary. Asymetrical warfare and political genocide are apparently bragging points, but calling them them what they are is vicious.
Again, Flossy, if you didn't get offended for a living, maybe anybody would take your decision to be insulted seriously.
I actually make my living teaching middle schoolers basic English. All in a day's work.
So you grade each others' homework?

lol can't say "you people" anymore?
This forum gets more and more silly by the thread. I need to stop wasting my life.
PREACH. World's biggest wind factory....quite depressing what it's turned into. It just keeps getting worse.
You should pay closer attention. I was responding to a specific claim by NeedAMedic that when he insulted everyone else on this forum he was including himself. He lied to try to make himself look better.
Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing.
Reading comprehension might allow you to read the word "everyone."
Weird that you think that me saying that everyone has a personality disorder is insulting. Do you have some sort of prejudice against people with personality disorders?

That obviously the intended outcome of such a statement, and it is not appropriate to discuss the mental health of others in public discourse.
Why in the hell would anyone try to argue that White hasn’t been left behind? I guess some people on the internet just need to be argumentative contrarians.
I am saying that white isn't as far behind as others are saying. I'm saying it doesn't need to be #1 to be good, and that it sees plenty of play in multiple formats as is.
I guess unless I believe the sky is constantly falling, I'm a contrarian.
Does everyone on this forum have some sort of personality disorder or something? It is like always so all or nothing with you people.
In Commander, the relevant format here, White is the worst color. You have to work twice as hard to make White keep up with the other colors. Acting like that isn’t true is what makes you a contrarian. And you accusing other people of having personality disorders is like the pot calling the kettle black.
I'm on this forum, so not sure how I excluded myself from that.
It's not twice as hard. That's the whole point. It is maybe 10% harder, if that.
If by "more efficent" you talk about mana value, than sure, you're probably right, but you can't say that a black mass removal that says "destroy all creatures and planeswalkers you don't control" is not better than any "destroy all creatures" effect. Black clearly do better than white in terms of mass removal at higher mana costs so you can't say that black is both worse and inefficent than white in every sense, because that's not true.
At 9 mana, it could be winning you the game instead of just clearing a few permanents. White can do better for 4 mana than black does at 9. For 8 mana, white can include artifacts and enchantments in the board wipe, and double as a tap land in a pinch.
You clearly never played games where one-sided mass removals not only break any stall but directly win the game within an aggro strategy (big beasts or tokens army). Just because you never experienced this, don't assume every player play your same strategies. So a wrath of god will never win you any game the same turn you casted. An asymmetrical mass removal, can.
All mass removal is asymmetrical
Nope. Only for control and combo decks "all removals are asymmetrical". Many removals are definitely more asymmetrical than others, and black is king on this. You clearly confirm that your knowledge about commander games and strategies is quite limited and you are basing all your argument on that bias.
All mass removal is asymmetrical because you choose when you play it. Not a difficult concept really.
Black has Toxic Deluge and Damnation for board wipes that come close to on par with what white gets. None of the others you listed are better or more efficient than white's board wipes.
