That said, you continue to make references and claims that are not based in fact. I, myself, just me, do not like TC transmissions because of the drawbacks of that system, drawbacks you attempt to gloss over with comparisons to cars with exceptionally well executed DCT and AM transmissions.

A TC transmission does in fact have all of the drawbacks I listed. The others have theirs as well. Rough shifting AM, human error MT, slower shifting DCT, bit of a misnomer there though as in this case power is still being applied during the shift, and many more. I, personally, can live with the drawbacks of the others more than I can on a TC transmission.

Ok, then.

Pissing contests... okay, as you wish.

Typographical error. I edited a few that I caught, and I must have missed that one.

Along with deft shifting of a standard trans, proof-reading is another special skill that is losing its value. Get it in while you can, I say

A colorful choice of words; like an "eye assault" from my gibberish.

I meant that you might be making a fine distinction between different degrees of terrible design.

As another example, so far, I find you to be less terrible than small pox, but still kind of unpleasant

I prefer to "handcraft" my posts, mostly free-style rather than rely too much on automated, advanced technology; its not as fast or accurate, but I find it to be more personally engaging and rewarding

Huh?

I was worried you had suffered a stroke or something? This was all genuine concern for your health and well-being

Here you are talking about how you word something as you type in a thread dedicated to MT vs AT and yet these words basically sum up what I feel is exactly the reason why I chose MT.
