"MY conclusions, MY arguments, or whatever. It grew tiresome; and then it became irksome. MY points, conclusions, arguments, etc.--in spite of the fact that I had never mentioned them either before or after, except to attempt to deal courteously with your behaviour.Hey, Solon. I went through that link you posted for JC., and I saw a couple of intesting stats. Did you see the one about blah blah and what do you think it might mean as regards blah blah." YOUR conclusions, arguments," etc., when what you meant was one or another statistic which you had come across on a link, which I had merely posted with the comment that it was interesting, were frankly--more than irksome, after awhile. I had done everything but spell it out for you, Tim.YOUR arguments, then OWN the damn argument...and invite me to take a position, or simply to share. You will find that I am very accomodating when people do not try to insinuate false premises through side doors, and when they act above board and with a modicum of respect for difference of opinion. I would find that preferable...
