There is no relation between your examples and the discussion, that you started, about germ transfer between table tennis paddles and table tennis balls. So to me it is pretty clear who is a fool and not, not that I really care what you say or do anyway.
And the reason I don't care is because each discussion you enter on this forum you say something stupid that you claim is true and then state something to the effect that anybody disagreeing with you is clearly wrong and when proven wrong yourself, you enter what amounts to a "well, think about the children" argument that actually has not bearing or value in the current discussion. You argue the same way politicians do or maybe religious people, or both.
There's no use discussing things with such people, for them it is more about being right than getting at the truth. If such a person gets it in his head that the earth is flat, then he will believe it until the day he dies.
Personally I have no problem admitting being wrong, I'm wrong on a regular basis, comes with liking discussion, the truth, and having a lot of creative ideas.
So I'll give you one last shot. Give me one piece of verifiable evidence that supports your claim that germs transferred between table tennis players, through the ball, is an actual problem and I'll admit that you are correct.
EDIT: And I openly admitted to being a germophobe myself, the difference between you and me is that I know that and understand that I have a phobia and that it doesn't translate into what you seem to believe.
Hahahaaa, this is really getting awesome here.
I beg your pardon.
I didn't know you have made already so many positive contributions to this forum with your nine postings and being a member since a couple of days.
So quite nice you're trying to judge over me as if we'd been knowing us for ages.
Good thing everyone can see all last postings made.
I don't have a problem to admit when proven wrong. I even partwise agreed on your first contribution in this thread.
The big difference is that i don't always agree on everything said, just to please somebody's likes. Many times i post things that people might not like to hear or read, but i wouldn't be myself, if I wouldn't speak my mind, since I'm not here for collecting 'like-thumbs'.
Some people might find that strange, but i rather find it strange if someone just changes like the weather. Where i come from that behaviour would be considered as the behaviour of a female cat. I know the actual word for this would be a little less polite, but I rather leave the namecalling up to you, since you've proven to be so good at it....
And certainly I agree that the chance of any infection is much higher of someone coughing and sneezing in a tabletennis hall than from carrying germs on a tabletennis ball,
but i wouldn't go so far to promote gross and disgusting rubber cleansing methods on a public forum.
Basically it's your personal business if you do so, you can even wipe your racket between your cheeks,(and i'm certainly not talking 'bout the ones in your face) as long as i don't have to play with you, but don't expect these gross recommendations being uncommented by me on a public forum where kids can also read.
It's part of acting responsible and has nothing to do with politics or religion.
You might be able to understand this, if you have kids on your own...
