@JTT,
Quote:I can't believe you are asking this at this point, Frank. Do you believe this prescription advanced by JoeFromChicago? Or are you just afraid to acknowledge that prescriptions can be utter nonsense?
I am not interested in what you can or cannot "believe", JTT. I am asking why you are characterizing this as a lie.
A response can be wrong or incorrect...and not be a lie. Well...to someone who is anal, I guess it can be "a lie." But I was just wondering why it is a "lie" to you. Are you going to address that?
Quote:Why can't/don't you ever address any of the source material offered? There's no doubt that I would address anything you offered.
Okay, give me the "source material" that designates mistakes as lies...and I will address it. (Although you are now getting so far out, the first thing I thought of was Norton "addressing" the ball for Jackie!)
Quote:It should also cause your brain to say, "hey, how come there is no reasoning or proof for these prescriptions I learned from [pamphlet name/style manual]"?
Aha...so you suppose that anything for which there is no reason has to be a lie. Wow, what pamphlet did you get that from?
Quote:What don't you understand about the fact that these were made up rules by men who saw language as a fashion statement?
Ahem...Earth calling JTT. THAT DOES NOT MAKE THEM LIES!
Quote:What don't you understand about the fact that these rules that do not describe how language works?
What does that have to do with you compulsion to call those kinds of things lies?
Quote:Why don't you ever consider that this and maybe one or two other lame excuses are all you can offer in defense of these rules?
We are not discussing rules at this moment, JTT. We are discussing this obsession with calling things lies.
