In Reply to: . . . Yes, this is the measure of most of your arguments posted by Joel Jacobson on February 14, 1999 at 02:03:21:

: If I said that I think Micheal Jordan was 6ft6in we could go and verify it using a measuring tape. This is a hypothesis and not an opinion. Likewise, I made a guess as to your general view of things. It would help to try distinguising between the terms you use.

If you're going to criticize others for passing off their opinions as fact, and then if you start opinionating about us, you're going to read about it. Don't like it? Tough.

: : If there's an appeal to emotion in your every post, its an appeal to the emotions felt by you yourself -- "I'm such a great guy who knows everything." You don't give references,:

: This is bull. I give references all the time. Hume, Kant, Popper, Hayek, v. Mises, the dictionary, which absolutely no one else on this board does, Rhees-Mogg, Sellars, More (regardles of Sammy-boy's whining). What kind of references are you looking for? God?

Have you tried citing texts?

: : : Give me another label for yourself, please.

: : SDF: No. Get lost.

: Read: "I don't like the shape of the argument and don't want to play anymore.: If you don't like the argument, go home to mommy.

You want to buttonhole everyone to excuse yourself from the task of learning from them.

: Yeah, I do claim this right. It's a conversation begun by myself

Then send yourself an e-mail. If anyone has any control over what gets said in the threads here, it's McSpotlight, not you.

: Hey, Sammy-Boy, do us all a favor and work on your reading comprehension.

Who was that character in Alice in Wonderland who said, "Words mean exactly what I want them to mean"? I think it was the March Hare. Anyway, you're him.

McSpotlight: It was either the Caterpillar or Humpty Dumpty (in Through the Looking Glass).
