Could I respectfully ( of course ) ask those concerned to maybe 'Chill' a little?

 

Do any of you remember the TV show 'Mork and Mindy' ? ? HUMOUR . . .ARK ARK . . . . .?

 

Bloody heck . . . . I'm away for a few lovely quiet days in Venice,. . . .( Stinks a bit,. . .must be the poor sewerage system. . .) and you all go stark ravin' bloody crazy. . .

 

HUMOUR. . .? OK, ok,. . .cynical humour I shall admit admit BUT. . . . . .? ? ? ? ?

 

Come on guys FCS. . . . .

Did you really expect any different Phil? This is the internet y'know.

 

On top of that, it's a bunch of pilots, the most pedantic bunch of argumentative pricks you will find anywhere, beside the religious.

1) We're not argumentative. We're absolutely not.

 

2) Strictly speaking when you said "pedantic bunch of" after "bunch of" you didn't need to use the collective noun twice in a row.

 

3) Point 2) isn't argumentative either.....or pedantic.

To Disagree is not the same as a valid argument

You can disagree about opinions...much harder to disagree about undisputable facts. Well, that's my opinion anyway.

No it isn't.

 

YES IT IS !

 

Argument is an intellectual process; . . a connected series of phrases intended to establish a proposition. . . not the automatic gainsaying of whatever the other person says. . .

 

No it isn't . . . . .

I'm afraid you've opened a can of worms here NomadPete!

 

Argument is an intellectual process

For some ,yes. For others ... I'm not so sure.

I don't disagree with your undsputed facts, I just dispute them. Thats not an argument, thats a fact.

 

 

[nomadpete]

It's getting worse. But please don't dispute that
