Should we show respect for other people's "beliefs?"

What?!!! Frank ... being ..........blunt?? Surely not.

Get a grip on it, Snood.

Stop with the obsession.

Act like a man...even if is not an easy role.


Or continue to entertain me.



The choice is yours.

No.

But you may be asking something other than what you wrote. Look it over...and if you meant something else...post it and I will respond.

That's just immature, Frank.
Act your age.

My views on the above.... I presume most of us (including Frank) are aware that "presupposition" may have been what catquas intended to write. It seems to me, that Frank did an excellent job, he gave the author a chance to amend his post and rectify the situation (it's called "self help")
If I'm unaware of the meaning of a word, I either look it up, or I don't use it... But, maybe catquas believed to the best of his knowledge that he was using the correct word? In which case, Frank's reply was (IMHO) still quite appropriate...what is Frank, the Enigma machine?

The only part of Frank's post I feel may have been a little blunt, was ......

No

Maybe a little blunt, but a quick look in any dictionary would have explained the difference between "knowledge" and "belief"

So to summarise... maybe Frank was a little harsh, but before posting, isn't it always a good idea to gather as many facts as possible?

I find it likely that lash meant proposition and accidentally missed a key.
Frank made an underhanded attack on lash's intelligence in his statement, and I think it was just a typo (MHO). Furthermore, it was just a cop-out, since the pace of this thread is moderate enough to cover up the issue with a dozen or two posts before lash gets back to it.

Any normal person would have answered the question he knew was meant instead of badgering the guy (or gal) about a typo (or best case scenario, a case of improper diction). If he is so condescending that he just must draw everybody's attention to a minor (and unrelated to the topic) mistake, do so and get on with the ideas being expressed. Don't just attack the words and not the meaning.

And, Frank, most of us got over the "I know you are but what am I" retort in gradeschool.

binnyboy-- The quote in question was not mine. I am the star (and Producer) of several other personal attacks--just not this particular one--for those keeping score.
