The end of it should have been at #8 which is where the discrepancies were clarified. It should NOT have been carried endlessly on through #9 and all the rest of your comments and name calling. The quotes I have attached give an excellent overview of the course of our discussion and my reaching a summary which you refused to acknowledge. Now let this be the end of it. I have work to do. (1) "I spend a fair amount of time at being a rhetorician, actually. One of the main things I do on the computer is write publicity pieces and other sorts of persuasive prose" (2) "I am a good rhetorician" (3) "I consider myself primarily a dialectician in this format"..."Since I consider only a fraction of my time to be focused on rhetoric, as opposed to dialectic..." (4) "I spend a fair amount of time at being a rhetorician, actually. (5)"Away from SI you spend a large amount of time on being a rhetorician, then??" (6)"I suppose because you seemed to be favouring "at the computer" over "sometimes" away from it...it seemed obvious that the "good deal of time being a rhetorician" was time spent on the computer. I see you a lot on the computer so integrating this with the tiny fraction of time you claim to spend on SI being a rhetorician suggested to me that you spent a lot of time on "the computer being a rhetorician on a site not SI. You have not been very forthcoming about these other sites, nor is it clear why you attach most of your rhetorical competence to these other sites while giving only a fraction of such to SI. Considering the times of your posts, it leads one to some confusion over where and why and how you are hammering this rhetorician persona that you have only given us a smell of(or a fraction of if you will) on SI." (7)"Again, this is getting a little odd. I am not on another site, I am doing actual work, as I noted already, like writing brochures or speeches or other material on my word processor" (8)"So you are a rhetorician most of the time using word processing...and only a fraction of the time while on SI?? Is that correct?? Or is most of your "rhetorical" stuff done "SOMETIMES" when you are not on the computer??" (9)I am sorry, this getting too weird for me. I have other things to do....
