Can you name anyone else who thinks I've been unfriendly or uncivil to you or to anyone else on a.a.m.? > You crossed from one to the other without good reason I've given my reasons, and you've admitted that you haven't rebutted them. Again: before complaining about my civility in the future, please ruminate on a sampling of your own uncivil remarks that I've let slide: [..] doesn't mean it isn't mush when it slops onto my table. Are you trying to be condescending? If so, try first reaching a position of superiority. [..] your inference about what [I] think is as usual invalid. You infer falsely, as usual. [..] you're prone to irrational suspicions [..] the Holtz Standard for when to put words in other people's mouths? [..] how "exist" works in your idiolect [..] You don't get to be the disingenuousness police, hauling people in front of your court to explain themselves, because you aren't good enough at it. [..] the things you do that make talking to you pointless. [..] I'll still be talking to a brick wall. brian@holtz.org http://humanknowledge.net
