Oh I think it's very relevant now. All this thread is demonstrating is:
1. Your spectacular capacity for whining and incorrectly telling people how they feel about things.
2. My inability to shut up and go to bed
3. How neither Metro nor ChatPS is as important as you think they are

No, what this thread demonstrates is:
1. My spectacular capacity to win at an argument I don't actually care about.
2. Your inability to listen to others.
3. How you can't refute criticism of the way you act because you know it's true.

You can't refute criticism. You can however repudiate it. Don't use words you don't know the meanings of.

I must have missed that bit however nobody else cares about this argument either so why you persist in it is beyond me.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong.

Dictionary.com

Refute:

1. Prove (a statement or theory) to be wrong or false; disprove.
2. Prove that (someone) is wrong.

Repudiate:

1. Refuse to accept or be associated with.
2. Deny the truth or validity of.

You are basing your theory that it is impossible to prove criticism wrong. However, if the criticism is based on fact, you can refute it.

They've not even repudiated the criticism on their character, never mind prove any of it wrong.

It takes more than one person to argue.

Criticism is a subjective, personal thing based on opinion and conjecture. It cannot be a statement of fact. Therefore you cannot disprove it. If I think this painting/beer/song is rubbish, you cannot disprove my thought of it as rubbish, you can merely reject it as a theory. In this case, your "fact" is also based on a subjective reading of the narrative, and therefore does not stand up to any test of validity.

But when you're chatting shit, your criticism is meaningless. You don't really have anything to offer the matter at hand so fuck off.

In a forum where all posts are available, I think it's entirely possible to disprove the criticism. Words have a wider range of definitions than your philosophy books tell you.

Still, keep trying to score points if you like - your posts are full of stuff you don't understand properly, so you won't catch me up.

OK. I've teased out the responses I wanted with the posts I've made, and I've had the unintended side effect of showing Alexia can't understand what he reads properly.
