Again, this is not your class, nor is it a place for informed discourse. Im not saying this in an angry tone of voice. I'm just pointing out that my lack of desire to investigate every linked article does not in fact invalidate the argument the article makes, nor my making it.


Considering what you said about respect in the last 24-48 hours, I find this bizarre. What exactly is the point of posting here if we're supposed to be respectful but not have an informed discourse?

I can understand that you don't want to have to peruse a whole bunch of internet links just to post something, but what are you getting at?

I will start believing this is a place for informed discourse when threads like the bloody one stop getting posted. I would love to have an more informed discourse. I don't think we need to write dissertations in every post.

Mostly I am confused as to why Khross suddenly wants a dissertation out of me on an internet board that has a very long history of a distinct lack of such standards.

It was about your comment(s) previously where you are refusing to inform yourself under the defense that its "not class" or whatever.

If I am to believe your attitude is this cavalier, depsite the sentiments you express in general and how confrontational you are (about them), why should I even bother to reply to anything you post from now on?

After all, we've just established nothing you post on here is informed, anyway. I mean, why would you bother to post anything informed on here, if this board is "not a place for informed discourse"?

False dilemma. Not writing dissertations doesn't mean a post is uninformed.

The standard has long been held to substantiate a source to the point where all parties can accept it to be valid. Which is pretty standard in general.

So it was just a passive aggressive personal swipe. Gotcha.

What about that was an attack? I'm asking you a question:

If you posted (which you just did) that this isn't a place for informed discussion, then why would it make sense for me treat anything you post as informed? That makes no sense.

I was refering to your first statement, not your question. However, my post was made pre-mod footstomp, so if you want we can continue this via PMs, or just let it slide.

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. What is the bloody thread, and... well, just huh? I can't make heads or tails of what you're talking about.
