I think this entire argument can be put down to a disagreement over what
evidence is applicable to the use in the argument. I think you’re as unlikely to
convince me that your choices are valid as I am to convince you that mine are.
We are both picking and choosing what we will and won’t include.

If someone points out that his response to this latest issue was
over-the-top ‘officiously litigious’, then they are focusing on the wrong
part--the fact that it happened is the actual issue. How Eric responded to
is is parenthetical.
|
--snip--
I’m sorry Dave but I disagree with you about this. Eric’s actions in
threatening Ross (and Rene) with legal action is an issue. It is not playing
nice to do this. What Ross did was probably wrong. What Eric did was
probably wrong.
|
How we deal with issues is important. I called Eric on it by letting him
know that he can be better. I didn’t let him off the hook for it, and I
didn’t ignore it. I also didn’t go ‘flying off the handle’ because of it,
either, and Rene didn’t either. So are you speaking for Rene now?
|
I’m not sure how you can read that I am speaking for Rene. I state that Eric’s
action threatening Ross (should be Al, my mistake) and Rene is an issue. Nor did
I go flying off the handle over it, or at least no more so than you did (if you
are implying that I did).
| |
The body of evidence *here* shows that he’s pretty good *here* *now*. I’m
sorry if you can’t see that. And I’m sorry that people like to provoke him
*here* that leads to these issues. I’m also sorry that I do tend to go on
about it :)
|
As I said above, you are picking your body of evidence according to what suits
your argument (or possible vice versa) as am I (or possibly vice versa). It is
similar to the situation in mathematics where there are various ways for
measuring time-moving averages and intuition must be used (usually) to choose
which one is more applicable to the situation. Our intuitions disagree.
| |
Where did I ‘bolster’ my point from past evidence? I made a somewhat
parenthetical observation that my fun here at LUGNET is in no way diminished
by people I don’t like.
|
Parenthical or obsfucating? ;)
| |
| |
| |
Can we apply the ‘you are better than this’ expression to everyone
involved? I’d like to think so.
|
Now I can certainly agree to that and had you said that in your first post I
would never have posted in this thread in the first place.

So there we are.
|
Except I just realised that I somewhat contradict my own arguments by stating
that I agree with it and you somewhat contradict your statement by the arguments
you make in this post with it... which goes to show that the optimal solution
may actually be the least logical.
