And yet, the argument that it's okay to resell books and not games because books are cheaper, less durable, and more replaceable is completely and utterly negated by the presence and social acceptance of the used car market.

Wait, what? You talked about the durability of games (DVDs) and books and insurance. I replied about the durability of books, DVDs and insurance. What does reselling books and games have to do with our conversation?

For the record, I do not think it is not okay to resell games.

Yes, but your argument that it is okay to resell books because they are less expensive and less durable than games is completely negated by the fact that - unless you believe used car sales are wrong, and you'd be the first person I've ever met - it is entirely socially acceptable, with no debate, to resell your car. Cars are much, much more durable and expensive than games.

So yeah, that argument doesn't really hold water in light of what is and is not generally considered "okay" to resell.

When did I ever argue that it is okay to resell books? And when did I say it is not okay to resell games?

Let me repeat what I said earlier.

You talked about the durability of games (DVDs) and books and insurance. I replied about the durability of books, DVDs and insurance. What does reselling books and games have to do with our conversation?

But the reason we are talking about the durability of books versus games is in the context of why it is generally considered socially acceptable to resell books, but not games.

If you didn't want to carry on that conversation, but just wanted to point out that books are less durable than games for absolutely no other reason than to point out that books are less durable than games, but that it has no bearing on the conversation at hand about reselling whatsoever, then...

...Okay, bizarre interjection taken.

So no one should take comments at face value and everyone need to read posts more than one parent away to reply in the correct context? Thank you for teaching me conversational tangents don't exist, master.

...Because without that context, I never would have brought up their respective durability at all, so yes. Following the context conversation is a worthwhile and important skill, especially if you're going to be invested enough in the outcome to respond a week later, and get butthurt enough about it to make snide, passive-aggressive comments.

A thought, for future.

Whatever you say, master. Four days doesn't make a week though. You should count better.
