Excuse me, but I believe you are the one who was claiming that your point was valid because your use of the terms 'interesting' and 'pathological' had valid (and unambiguous) mathematical definitions. I see that you are at least smart enough to realise you lost that battle, hence this puffery and smokery about other words. Not much of a segue is it, really ? > Pick a new word each time and use english language to > construct a prime facie wrong argument that you use as a preposterous > claim[1] that begs to be rebutted Were I making any preposterous claims I've no doubt they'd be rebutted by now. > | All you have to do to avoid it is use the technique of "paraphrasing" > | your meaning in a way that contextualises it.

Nonsense. > Or do you now you want to us to bicker pathologically on the meaning of > the word `subjective, instead of `interesting', and how it is subjective > and I have misused it while you supply brilliant flawless reasoning? Oh now you're just being silly. Bicker over the meaning of subjective? Next you'll be accusing me of bickering over the definition of bicker. You're going to have to do a lot better than that sunshine. > | Now, why don't you give us *your* definition of the word > | 'interesting'.

This is bollocks. Haven't you been paying attention ? Matt

No no no. Read before commenting.

And in response you don't construct an argument. You just fling about words like 'troll', 'jerk' and 'bickerer', and try to avoid actually confronting the actual point I'm making. You're a charlatan. A fraud. A liar. Hey look! Three of a kind :-)

No I wont construct an argument because I am not interested in the pathological bickering behaviour you wish to indulge in were I to construct an argument --- note I have not responded to the arguments you gave. Maybe you should concede that I appreciate that words have subjective usages in specific contexts. When something is not clear, or misleading it is best to clarify the intent of the speaker. I've made my intent clear. What is your problem after that? Your problem is I'm not falling for your trolling and indulging you in the pathological bickering you solicit in every post. | You're a charlatan. A fraud. A liar. | | Hey look! Three of a kind :-) Spare the insults. -- Madhu |
