My point notwithstanding.

Kevin, I was one of the first six commenters and I never said (or inferred) that Scott misread the ABC’s statement. Perhaps I too have caught the bafflegab bug and can no longer make myself understood.

Dear Scot,

I am not saying we disagree. But it is clear to me and the 6 first commenters that you misread the ABC’s statement when you posted, and have been trying to correct that ever since. Just admit it and we will all be happy.

I’ve a friend who completed either a Masters or PHd in chemistry (I forget which) and he was continually frustrated by the fact that he wrote clearly, and his professor wanted more buzz words. Yes, this is getting off topic, I will cease and desist now.

I figured that was the case. No problem. (Although I must admit there is some truth in what you said.)

I do hope you realize that my comments about upper level arts degree holders not being able to communicate very well were tongue in cheek – one never knows how that sort of thing comes across in writing.

Thanks, Mrs Falstaff. Yes, that was offered with some irony.

#15 – Don’t know if you meant to make us snicker, Scott – but I did!

Kevin,

Do you not think it rather serious to accuse someone of dissembling, especially when based simply on your suppositions and conjectures? “I’m not buying it” does not qualify as a persuasive argument. Unless you have some actual evidence to offer, I suggest you accept that we disagree.

Also, you still have not explained exactly where you disagree with me.

Come on. Just admit it.
