Re: Lam-logic and Ringoisms
You're such a well-mannered, intelligent, mature debate opponent that the vast majority of your stellar contribution doesn't provide any grist for the comedy mill.
In order to write a parody, you need something distinctive that a reader can immediately recognize. But this distinctive quality can be either in the content or the style of the writer to be parodied. Crashfrog was easy to parody; for one thing, he's consistent in his tone. Schraf's another matter. One had to pick out some point she made that could be exaggerated and made to seem ridiculous.
I didn't think that RR's parody of you was very fair - it was very far from the mark
Yeah, it was way too exaggerated, but I wanted to include her and that's all I could think of.
