It may be a moral question, but more importantly it's a "have you stopped
beating your wife?" question too.
I tend not to go around claiming I'm a man of my word. Why would I need to? If I
have to make a big deal about it, maybe I'm not. So there is no right answer for
Dave to give, you manage to impugn him either way, whether he says yes or no,
and even if he doesn't answer. That's dirty pool in debating circles, in my
view.
But *I'll* answer your question on behalf of Dave (1), since *I* can answer for
him without that problem. Yes, he is a man of his word. Now, how is this
relevant to the discussion? Further, have you, or anyone else, said anything NEW
here in the last 50 posts that was relevent to the discussion? I don't think so.
LUGNET doesn't (yet) have threadlocking. But I personally (and this is not a
statement of policy, I am not wearing my hat) wish we did. Because if we did,
I'd lock this thread so fast it would make your head spin. There is NOTHING
useful happening here (except for the part where we say what a great guy Dave
is, which in the long term is bad for Dave's ability to get through doorways)
any more.
Agree to disagree and move on. Talk about something else. That's just a request
at this point. It's not yet a formal request from the Admins but why wait?
1 - I haven't reviewed the thread in detail to compile a list of all the people
you have asked this of, but if I were to place a bet, I bet they *all* are men
(or women) of their word.
