[TCassidy]

Thank you for proving my point. I never called anyone a "fool," nor any group "fools" nor did I say anyone on the BB lacks reading comprehension.

It is good to see you standing with me against false accusations.

 

[Revmitchell]

nor did I say anyone on the BB lacks reading comprehension.

Uh you better look again.

 

[TCassidy]

And thanks, again, for the additional proof I did not call anyone a fool nor did I say they have a comprehension problem. (Asking a question is not an accusation. And having an opinion is not an accusation.)

"I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that you have a reading comprehension problem."

A clear accusation is made when one says "you have a reading comprehension problem"

"Have you been taking reading comprehension lessons from revmwc?"

Even if there is no clear implication of a reading comprehensions problem by asking that question (and there is) then it is clear that by the comparison made to "revmwc" you accused "revmwc" of having a reading comprehension problem. So yes you have a history of this.

A text, out of context, is a pretext. I said "I have come to the unfortunate conclusion." A conclusion is not an accusation. A conclusion is a conclusion.

No, again, context is your friend. I asked the question (a question is not an accusation, it is a question) if he had been taking reading comprehension lessons from you. That assumes nothing about either of you. It is just a question. I was asked at a symposium at STSCS Thursday if I taught Theology. That was not an accusation. It was just a question.

So yes you have a history of this.

Sorry but your own postings disprove your theory.

First, it is a clear insult. Framing it in the "context" a "conclusion" does not diminish that you have said someone has a "reading comprehension problem". In other words you have made a distinction without a difference.

You not only asked a question making a clear implication but you also made a comparison with the assumption that it was already understood the revmwc has a reading comprehension problem. In on statement which included a question you leveled an insult against two people.

Now you are trying to divorce your "question" and your "conclusion" from their implications and their contexts. Bill Clinton did a very similar things when he said "it all depends on what is is."

You insulted them Period.

 

[TCassidy]

First, it is a clear insult. Framing it in the "context" a "conclusion" does not diminish that you have said someone has a "reading comprehension problem".

Again, I didn't say anyone had a reading comprehension problem. I came to that conclusion. My conclusions do not constitute facts. They just constitute conclusions. And conclusions are not accusations. They are just conclusions.

In other words you have made a distinction without a difference.

No, I have understood the semantical difference between a conclusion and an accusation. It is both a distinction and a difference.

You not only asked a question making a clear implication but you also made a comparison with the assumption that it was already understood the revmwc has a reading comprehension problem.

Not at all. I just asked him if he were taking reading comprehension lessons from you. That question does not pre-suppose you lack reading comprehension, even though you chose to understand it that way (you know yourself better than I do). Most people would assume you had good reading comprehension skills and are able to impart that skill set to others.

In on statement which included a question you leveled an insult against two people.

No, a question is not an accusation nor is it an insult. It is just a question.

You insulted them Period.

Sorry, you are assuming a fact not in evidence. If you keep this up I may have to conclude that you may lack . . . . - uh, well, never mind.

 

[Squire Robertsson]

I have. It seems to me Justice Scalia is putting his faith in the ratification process by the states.

Go back and read the link I provided

So you have learned to mask your insults by asking questions and drawing conclusions. This has got to be one of the saddest defenses of poor behavior I have ever seen on this board. Ever.

Do you agree with TCassidy that he has not insulted anyone by masking them with saying "asked a question" and "I came to a conclusion"?

 

[Squire Robertsson]

That was not the point of my post you quoted. You asked me to read the link to Justice Scalia's opinion on the topic. I did and gave you what I took away from it.

Uh, I am asking you apart from that not because of that. Do you believe TCassidy has insulted people by implying, asking questions, and making conclusions as to his view of their reading comprehension?

 

[TCassidy]

He has more faith in politicians than I do. Especially when we consider the last election cycle going strongly blue.

But, on the other hand, the majority of the state legislatures are red. But in some of those legislatures the red has a very slim majority which could easily change who dominates after this coming election cycle.

I still think it is better to leave well enough alone. Just obey the constitution we already have and the problem would be solved.

I like what the late Justice Scalia said about the constitution. "The constitution is not a living document. It is a contract. It says what it says and it doesn't say what it doesn't say." (Or words to that effect.)

If we could just get congress and the blue state legislatures to know and follow what it says our country would be a lot better off.

I think that's a pretty stupid statement. Are you stupid?

 

[Use of Time]

For crying out loud Tom just own it and move on. This is sad.

 

[TCassidy]

I think that's a pretty stupid statement.

And I value your opinion. Of course. Really.

Are you stupid?

More often than I should be. And you?

 

[TCassidy]

For crying out loud Tom just own it and move on. This is sad.

But I am having so much fun!

 

[Aaron]

And I value your opinion. Of course. Really.

More often than I should be. And you?

The same.

 

[Squire Robertsson]

And you should know better than expect me to answer such a question in an open forum. I'll just say this at times Tom can be a punctilious pendant. He, in many ways, is this Board's version of William Buckley.

Uh, I am asking you apart from that not because of that. Do you believe TCassidy has insulted people by implying, asking questions, and making conclusions as to his view of their reading comprehension?
