as I said in the beginning this isn't a court of law.
of course not. it's a kangaroo court:
noun: an unofficial court held by a group of people in order to try someone regarded, especially without good evidence, as guilty of a crime or misdemeanor.
It's not even that. What "crime" are we "trying" him for?
i've not seen so much intellectual dishonesty in one place in a very, very long time.
You keep insisting we are trying him for a crime when we are not. That's not intellectually dishonest?
You came in here mischaracterizing what I was doing from the get go and then continued to focus on trivial aspects instead of attempting to visualize the bigger picture. I never said what I was doing was scientific or amounted to "linguistic forensics", but then you criticized me for not satisfying your standards for that field, which is also intellectually dishonest. It's as if I painted a picture of an iguana and you told me that it was a terrible cat. I thought maybe your misunderstanding was born out of confusion, but you insist that its not, so indeed there's not much left to be said at this point.
the reputation board is a cesspool.
It's not for everybody, that's for certain.
later guys. i hope i didn't fuck up your witch burning. i'll stay out of the next one....
