Hey techno, next time maybe you should announce the definition you were looking for.....you know ; lexical, stipulative, presicing.

Re: Need a ruling on this one from a Higher Authority.

A question is asked, the answer is given. A question of source follows and an insult is inferred. Then the question is altered, and the justification begins. When in reality, the source was the source and the answer was the answer. Rules of logic have been met consistant with the query. Everything else is mearly bather. Next.

Trying to engage technoskewered in a polite conversation is an invitation to get skewered. Nuff said. Why try?

Re: Need a ruling on this one from a Higher Authority.

Ok, I'm with you on this up to the point of where the question gets changed. The question is still the same. I didn't imply any insult so why was it inferred? There may have been additional questions but that had no bearing on the original question. It is not consistent to present evidence that has no incontrivertable source. At this point I am satisified that my explanation was as well founded as anything to the contrary and will withdraw the original question. I would however consider it a courtesy if I were priviliged to know the source which is now unilateraly accepted. May we consider the matter closed? If not I have a notepad filled with responses for the not so civil.

C'mon pointer, when have you known DC not to be a place of senseless and on occasion mindless blather? :p

"We all know who God is."<br /><br />Thank you. And what is your source for that bit of wisdom, TS?<br /><br />Think about it. Doesn't that sound like a challenge to your statement? Or maybe it is an outright contradiction?<br /><br />Well, actually, it is a contradiction. Most of us have an idea who we think God is, but our "knowledge" differs a great deal. Others don't think God is a "who" at all, and some don't even think there is a God.<br /><br />My point is that if you are going to nitpick others' semantics you are living in a glass house.

Like the one designed by Philiip Johnson, perhaps the most famous glass house ever

Re: Need a ruling on this one from a Higher Authority.

Techno, why then did you edit your post? Why not stand proud behind your words, rather than remove them and further confuse the conversation? As you stated your point was clear stand by your words. Your actions are inconsistant with your words especially in light of your propensity to quote someone in almost every one of your posts, yet modify yours before they can be scrutinized and evaluated by all who visit. Leaving your post in its original form would have allowed for others to make up their own minds the intention of your post. Puzzling. I am missing the intellectual high ground you strive for in all your posts.<br /><br />Your answer was nothing more than a regurgitation of Alden's. So your answer was his, I hope you footnoted him in your discussion with your Minister friend. And in staying with the spirit, I noticed you didn't footnote the name of the minister. This renders your post useless due to the fact you have no incontrivertable source.<br /><br />Then there is the facts not in evidence. Sir this is not a court. And CJY was right on the mark. You simply stating it isn't is bather. And someone erased some of the evidence. That still confuses me. But staying with your analogy, approx. 12 of your peers unanimously found you guilty of at least being rude. <br /><br />You may be satisfied that your explanation was as well founded as any other, but your explaination was vague and nowhere near as precise as Aldens and really just a cliff notes version of his original post. Which was very informative with or without footnotes to me and perhaps others here on the site.
