Kil:
"Here’s the thing. If we want to have an opinion argument and its relationship to critical thinking that I would take part in, it would have to be in another thread with opinions as the subject of the thread." |
Dave:
Absolutely. I apologize. |
bngbuck:
I will accede to your demand...
.... not because you demand it, as you have no license to demand anything from me; but because you own the forum on which my comments appear. In business, it is the Golden Rule - he who has the gold, rules! In cyberspace, it is only fair to observe the same imperative - he who owns the cyberspace, controls what transpires in it!
Although I am not in any way subject to your demands, I will go you one better, I will make no more comment in this thread, period:
As far as Dave is concerned, I am sure that he will give me ample opportunity for entertainment in the future as he continues to declaim foolishness such as "Opinion IS claim to fact" |

| Wow, bngbuck, the more you use bolding, italicizing and underlining, the more you're showing yourself to be completely unaware of the words that you're not emphasizing (as well as a Philistine with regard to those you do). You're now providing an excellent example of a guy who's dug himself a hole, and when that's pointed out to him, he digs faster. Are you hoping to escape notice by digging all the way to your antipode? |

Yes, yes, bngbuck, we all know that you're very clever, since juxtaposing comments already made and then emphasizing different parts of them isn't a "comment" according to a dictionary definition (which you might ignore, anyway). And of course I meant "pharisee" in my prior post, not "Philistine" (the latter makes no sense at all), and you are demonstrating my point quite nicely.
Good boy, bngbuck. Have a cookie. |

Sure, filthy! You'll find one on your hard drive.
Sheesh, look at bngbuck go. Same gag, three times in about six hours. He's like a five-year-old. |
