  • No, you're getting too hung up on words and want to play semantics. I insult you because I am insulted that I must break things down into simple pieces for a simpleton who fancies himself smart enough to explain to ME, what my own position is. My first statement is not a run-on and I find it rather amusing that you seem to think that the way a message is presented is somehow more valuable than the message itself.

    "And clearly my mental capacities are not slow. It is you who has zero argument other than insulting someone who tries to challenge you."

    The only 'challenge' coming from you is the one you were obviously born with; you have posed no challenge to my original statements whatsoever and have proceeded to whine about my style and pretend that what I say is somehow incomprehensible.

    "But you are wrong. You start with something general then provide evidence in support that include specific examples. Who taught you to debate? Those who speak in blanket statements have no argument."

    Nope, not at all. The method of induction derives generalities from particulars, not the other way around. The only way you can know anything about chairs or trees in general is to examine particulars. The examples I have given above are entirely particular and in no way can you say that they are generalities. I'm feeling awfully cold - can I borrow one of your quilts?

    • Is this Chris?

      In this setting, all you have are words. It would be wise to use them more effectively.

      And you still haven't insulted me and I'm not sure why you are trying.
