Yes, Jon. Ask Barbara Billingsley if she can translate for you.

That's not an ad hominem, Jon. It was a joke, just as I thought your posts were, given the smiley faces you attached to them and the
face I attached to mine.
Lighten up. But honestly, your bizarre use of punctuation, syntax, and cryptic unexplained references, makes many of your posts virtually unintelligible. Break out your Strunk and White. |

Or and appeal to ATHENA on the other matter? Nothing on bubbles of subjective volitile organics combusting when rubbed the wrong way by experimental evidence? Messages to a person might be better recieved as private messages. In public they are, no matter the writer's intent, easily percieved as ad-hominem. croquet? <-- That's a wordplay, per Alice, of 'tu quoque'. * the other review cited in the wiki article was even less flattering.

Strunk and White's "Elements of Style" has one overriding theme- good writing is clear writing.
I'm not surprised that you consider that "outdated." Your posts are evidence of that. I.e.: "Nothing on bubbles of subjective volitile organics combusting when rubbed the wrong way by experimental evidence?" That is exactly the sort of gibberish I'm talking about. |

And you might note, Jon, that you started this back and forth with your snide comment about a response I made to critter in which I agreed that this thread is causing deja vu.
The so-called ad hominems started with you. |

Liberals love to accuse conservatives of that which they are most guilty. I don't think Rush Limbaugh has ever committed adultery, although I don't know the man personally. He's been divorced three times, but his problems are not my problems.
As for Newt, he made some poor choices in his life, and now says that he has gone to the church for forgiveness and has turned his life around. He's not subject to my law on the issue of adultery; no one is. I'm just advocating for what I think is right, that's all. Suggesting that I actually advocate the execution of specific individuals is stupid. Carrie |

I still believe the Bandler style rhetoric has a chance of serving. Diplomacy by way of expressed opinion and maybe even belief too.

Sorry, I don't believe in that NLP crap.
And who was asking for sympathy? Certainly not me. And, as I said, the answer for which you saw fit to mock me was directed to critter, not you. Comprehension problems perhaps directed to inordinate numbers of gas bubbles?  |

I wasn't sure if a critter point would be egotistical or not, but by the time I questioned it I was in too deep.
