@Lola,
That's not quite true Lola. The reason I chose Apisa as an example, and he's a classic case, was because it was an opportunity to have a dig at him in return for the impolite, not to say nasty, slurs and smears he has directed my way and in the way of others and which you have failed to have words with him about.
Your emollient sentiments are nothing to the case and are merely your understandable desire to keep the peace. The peace will keep itself if the conversational gambits of the sort under discussion are set aside.
And it is not "according to" me either. It is according to all the known rules of logic and, indeed, common sense. One simply does not present unsupported assertions from which to draw a conclusion which suits one's purposes. It's vulgar however well polished the silverware is. It has nothing to do with me. It's the scientific method.
And for pointing out this obvious fact it is suggested that I am being my "usual disdainful, pompous, condescending self" which neatly avoids rebutting the fact as well as being a timely reminder of my saying that Apisa cannot stop himself doing it.
