Re: PIVOTAL QUESTION FOR ALL- jch
Hi John,
Your messages make it very difficult to tell which are your words, which belong to other participants, and which you cut-n-pasted from other web sites. And the problem isn't getting better, it's getting worse. I would prefer that this extremely sloppy style not continue, and because posting suggestions to you doesn't seem to help I'm removing your posting privileges. If you want them back you'll have to convince me through PM (Private Messaging) that you'll work at figuring out how to quote and how to indicate where your cut-n-pastes came from. Click on the "Send Private Message" link that you see directly to the left of this message.

Re: PIVOTAL QUESTION FOR ALL- jch
I not only strongly agree with these sentiments expressed by John, but also endorse them as residing at the very core of the goals of EvC:
jchardy writes:
I wonder why malignancy has to be part of any discourse since it offers nothing of benefit.
I want to convince as many as possible that MUTUAL RESPECT BETWEEN INTELLIGENT PEOPLE SHOULD be the operator in discussion.
No one will be convinced of anyone’s rectitude (correctness) if they are assaulted by poisonous rhetoric. This approach is unnecessary and destructive to any communication --- if communication is what we are attempting to accomplish.
Phrased another way, if you're right, snark doesn't make you more right, it only makes you appear small. And if you're wrong, snark is embarrassing.

Throwing this into summation mode
I don't think jchardy will be returning, so I'm throwing this thread into summation mode.
