Aren't I lucky to receive your grammar lesson? Never claimed to have perfect
grammar. But you failed to respond to my observation that my grammar and
spelling are good enough to convey what I mean or that the people I was
responding to were using far less correct grammar and spelling. And we all know
that N8KDV never displays a superior or arrogant tone, right? RHF is never
superior and never uses imprfect grammar, right? And receiving your little
lesson, as you called us a "newgroup," was particularly humorous.


Neither Steve nor RHF assert or imply that they are intellectuals as you
did. Both of them contribute more in the way of useful information than
you do, but of course that falls into the category of "specialized"
intellect. As for the word "newgroup," why are you accusing me of
that? I didn't use it on my own. It occurs in my post as a direct quote
from your preceding post! I don't comment on other people's typos.

While your grammar and spelling may be sufficient to convey your
arguments, I'm not the only one to have observed that your logic
is not. You often refuse to respond to legitimate points, pretend
the point people are responding to is something other than it was
(combining this tactic with a loss of temper), or resort to ad hominem,
reducing the argument to a slugfest.

I still don't understand this whole thing of insisting on mailing people
directly when you respond to posts of theirs,
then refusing to stop doing it when they ask, and furthermore barely
even acknowledging that you do it when people bring it up. This is the
simplest courtesy one can perform and you refuse to do it. Is your news
reader very complicated? Do you need someone to show you how to respond
only to the newsgroup? Or is it just that you are so hostile and angry
at the world that you have to just stick your finger in someone's eye
when you're arguing with him. I think most people in the group know
which of these is the reason.
