Well, gee, Dave. If people are going to run around wearing a single glove
for decoration, there has to be some rules of etiquette. I just have to
wonder what Ms. Manners would say about all this.

Oh, hell, let me go ahead and do it:

It's a pretty near given that I, nor many others in this newsgroup, would
find anything like the death of someone else "hilarious." There, maybe
the
parentheses confused Larry...

Kim:

Yawn! Ok, apparently you need some help here. I *think* that what you
meant to say goes something like this: "It's a pretty near given that
neither I, nor many others in this newsgroup, would find anything like
the death of someone else "hilarious.""


Yeah. You're correct. *IF* you want to give the appearance of being rather
archaic in the use of the English Language. I believe an English professor
would bear me out that by the use of the word "nor" directly after the word
"I" is the proper way in which to construct that sentence. If I am wrong,
and I don't think I am, then you are absolutely correct.


An alternative version would be: "It's a pretty near given that
I, or any others in this newsgroup, would not find anything like
the death of someone else "hilarious.""


Good grief, that's miserably constructed and you'd be one of those who would
construct a sentence thusly, not I.


Is that what you meant to say, Kim? If so, I think that you could benefit
from some basic classes on English composition, with an emphasis on
sentence structure.

Uh huh. Who could?

OK. Well, I'll start then. I wish you'd review
how much you sound like Larry here recently...
Really. Read your posts without looking at
them as being from you. You'll confuse
yourself as to who, exactly, posted them...
You did not *used* to post like that...


Perhaps much of that impression is caused by whether you agree or
disagree
with what being said at the moment.


Dwight, I am not like that. I can totally dislike someone and totally agree
with what they are saying. The *reason* I don't like Larry--or people like
him--isn't because of their opinion. It is because of their arrogance and
dictatorial style of impression that everyone must think just like them. It
is also that, once again, the *impression* is given that anyone who thinks
differently than they are somehow of less stature than they.

Whether I agree or disagree with someone has no bearing on how I accept
their message. For instance, someone could be exactly of the thought of
Larry and preach the thought and I am all for engagement on an intellectual
level. But, when someone begins preaching their thoughts while at the same
time acting as though they are superior because of them--all I want to is
reach out and bitch slap 'em. I can get just as lofty as anyone else on an
intellectual level and be very articulate about how I communicate. I can
also get down at the level of someone such as Larry if I need to--or just
plain want to.


I agree with Larry on some things, and
don't on others. I agree with you on some things, and don't on others.
When
anybody agrees with another, their comments are going to, of course, sound
similar. When I agree with you, Larry accuses me of sounding like you.
You're now accusing me of sounding like Larry. Unless I agree with
everything each has to say, I can't possibly satisfy both of you.

Nope, you are incorrect. I don't care whether you agree with me or not. It
is when you start telling me things that depict the nature of a personality
*because* of something I am saying that you'll see me pushing back in like
manner.

Oooo, I know. I sure am getting short with people lately. Y'know why, I
think? It's kind of like all those who are nearly always as good as we can
possibly be--at the *expense* of ourselves around all the creeps in this
world. I am getting tired of it--and I ain't takin' it no more...

You must be getting old or something, Larry. You gave up much too

It was surely a mistake when she first wrote it, but a real surprise when

ACK!!! Man, I am still stunned over this one--I *must* be getting old. The
grammar department indeed reminded me of the old "either/neither"
"neither/nor" argument to be used in deciding upon correct grammar! So,
yes, Larry was correct! Wow, what a hoot! Larry being correct Big Evil
Grin. However, it was stated that, in a casual conversation, inference is
98% of the communication. Deductive reasoning would lend itself to knowing
what was intended to be said (sorry, Jim). I did remind them that I do not
consider this venue as much "casual" as I do a debate environment. So, they
said in a debate I'd lose points. Consider the points lost.

Anyway, yep, the sentence should have been as Larry stated in the above
reposted, reposted, reposted(?) post. All I can say is I am proud to have
given Larry the opportunity to be correct *and* intellectual, for
once...Big Evil Grin again. What a hoot, eh? Oh wait, upon review, could
it look to JJ like I am backpedaling? Hmmm.....nope, don't think so...

Now, back to cooking a fine, fine cook-ahead Thanksgiving dinner that
neither I nor anyone could deny being delightfully delicious! ;)
