Of course; but then I don't boast about my educational credentials
as a substitute for rational argument : -)

50 years' worth of life-experience, innate cynicism and ten years
counselling students. But your replies today cause me to doubt
my snap diagnosis- so I apologise unreservedly. But you need
perhaps to be less 'heated' in future debates. No-one, least of all
me, has a monopoly on the truth.

True; they're both sociopaths- but there the similarity ends.

You weren't debating- you were declaiming. I think that's what
irritated us so much. There is ALWAYS another POV; often a better
one, as I've learned to my frequent embarrassment.

I was as articulate as I thought you could handle; IIRC I used few if
any quadrasyllabic words; and very little litotes, irony and empyrean
rhetoric.

Really ? !!! You jest, Sir.

Well, one has to try : -)

I don't think my

I took them as general abuse. It's hard to gauge intentions in the
heat of battle, as it were.

No; I merely responded in kind.

I believe you did. But; no matter, it's the [lack of] strength of
your arguments that's the main issue, surely?

A POV is surely amenable to rational criticism- and thus one can
change one's mind, surely? On this ground, to maintain a blatant
falsehood seems to me to be verifiably 'a twisted view of reality'.

So you failed the exams, eh? : -),

And therefore neither should you. Cretinism is a recognosed medical
condition, as you ought to have known. Such unnecessary abuse
does your case little good.

You must be a riot at dinner-parties.

I don't believe so. AFAIK, non-violent or inactive conspirators
tend to receive lesser sentences.


He could also have chosen not be a criminal perhaps?
Indeed. We all make bad life-choices- he chose a particularly
bad one..

Oh, dear.
TRY and stick to the facts, darling, and spare the mindless abuse.
