Re: Lam-logic and Ringoisms

The other question which has intrigued the philosophers of the ages is: "How many 'Ringoisms' does it take to make me a character worthy of inclusion in robinrohan's play?)
Be careful what you wish for.
Apparently, one can be forever defined in that play by the subject of a brief coffeehouse conversation that comprises less than 1% of one's entire, years-long contribution to the EvC debate.

Re: Lam-logic and Ringoisms
wow, crash. Thank you.

I didn't think that RR's parody of you was very fair - it was very far from the mark.
Well, that's what I thought, but I wondered if I was just being overly sensitive.
It's just that I feel like I work hard here to be a good debater, to have my information right, to research and present arguments carefully, that it really annoyed me that the only thing I an "noted" for by some is a debate that stemmed in part from a personal issue.
It's kind of like the big thing anyone ever remembers about Janet Reno or Margaret Thatcher is that they aren't considered very attractive women.
