We'll never know until we find out. Any chance that, on this one sentence, we may finally agree?

Sole intenet of this thread was to test the validity of Freaky's observations
in his "Ad hominem: is it really about me?" thread. Posted a simple seven
word sentence containing an obvious/self evident fact... then concluded by
asking if we (forum poster community) were in agreement. Freaky nailed it.

Originally posted by Grampy Bobbywhat you have missed in your usual superficial analysis is that posted replies did not disagree with the proposition you stated, but rather questioned the point of posting the bleeding obvious. Freaky not only failed to nail anything at all, but also missed this rather obvious point. he does have, however, a far greater command of the English language than you do. which isn't saying much.

Both know that capital letters are used at the beginning of sentences....ROFLMAO....
Do you see how silly you look?
Originally posted by BlackampWhile I'm never one to willingly deflect praise--- especially that which is shared begrudgingly--- your assessment of the comparative skill levels between GB and me is far off the mark. This could be more illuminating than humiliating, viewed properly.

First off, GB's ability to use the language is like calculus. My ability is like algebra. This is not self-effacing gibberish: he has clearly taken sentences and structured thought to a level beyond mine.
Some folks who cannot get calculus have no such issues with algebra, and therefore, may perhaps more easily relate to my posts than they are able to relate to his. This might be part of your issue: you just don't get him.

neither your choice of "guru" nor your unabashed hero worship of same does you credit, but i imagine you'll grow out of it and, one day, wonder how you could have been so blind.
you do have better language skills than GB, i can see that you are earnest in what you say, and you are clearly more intelligent than Rusty - i think that once you get over this crush you have on GB, and you see that there is nothing to 'get', you'll be a fairly decent poster. until that happy day, we'll just have to disagree, i suppose.
Originally posted by homedepotovThis may be the single biggest case I've ever seen of someone completely leaving themselves wide open for insult, and then someone else taking complete and full advantage of said openness to perfection. Congrats homedpotov. Couldn't have done it better myself. As for you, Rusty, BUUUUUUUUURN.
Umm, it's English language.
The word "English" is capitalized.
