Do you expect me to simply admit you got a rise out of me and thereby lose the game ? Never !

Your edulcorated jesuitic casuistry disguised in "never surrending" is obviously not operating.

It IS sweet, but never disguised-- and it operates still - as you have demonstrated !

Surely it is more powerful as your dusty French Enlightenment rationality

When are you French going to learn how to speak English. I don't know what most of those words mean.

You should reconsider what you have just written.

Casuistry is not rationality, it is nitpicking. Only Jesuits are experts of those matters. It was insane of me, expecting you to elevate the debate to more solid bases than clichés again...

It was a real cliché, Dys. The other ones have Velveeta.

The Jesuits would say that you are again confusing your point of view with objective reality. Your "nit" is simply something you don't want picked, and "rationality" the attempt to misappropriate the authority of a word.

However, I generally rise above such criticism, preferring the serenity and good humor of a world amply infused with homilies and cliches, from which I choose as the mood dictates.

For your first part, George, you are just trying to appropriate, in order to gain advantage in the game, the role of judge of objective reality.

Which obviously is not the case here...

Which means not very stable...

Dag, thank you for your most gracious reply, and for the photos, they are the biggest pair of jugs I did ever see!

They would be perfect for still life painting. Judging from the curves and apparent age, I would say they were from the Ming dynasty. A pair to treasure indeed.

Not so. I was merely giving you the example of a real Jesuitical reply -- to satisfy your expressed appetite for causistry.

I was quite pleased with this line, .. and it matched my state of mind at the moment.

To which Francis replied and wrote:

Clever, but incorrect. I am working to liberate you from your errors.,

No, you are a most imperfect follower indeed, though I could learn to like "edulcorated" if I have spelled it correctly.

I try to do that, but it doesn't really work. Most people just come out of the situation amused.

Argh.
