- #(Daniel J. Dick) writes as if to illustrate the dangers of posting
- #without thinking or even reading. He started his rant in response to
- #Susan Garvin's question:
- #
- ##: How is it that you know what Nyikos's point was, given that you
- ##: didn't read his article?
- #
- #Excuse, Mr. Dick, you're looking pretty ignorant and your rant in
- #response to Susan exacerbated rather than answered her original point.
-
- I wonder if he's capable of understanding this.
-
- ##Well, Susan, perhaps I did misunderstand Mr. Nyiko's point of view and
- ##perhaps your folks did not lie or misrepresent or misunderstand his point
- #Who are Susan's foolks? Have her parents been posting?
-
- I certainly hope not, given that they're both dead.
-
- ##of view conveniently. Why don't we settle this and ask Mr. Nyiko himself.
- #
- #How about settling it by reading what he wrote originally before
- #placing your foot in your mouth?
-
- Shhh. That would be too easy. It's much more impressive to
- claim that you know what someone said without reading their
- words, isn't it?
-
- #Deletia: Homily about reducing flaming. Jeesh!
-
- Interesting, too, that Dick hasn't responded to any of Hall/Chaney's
- rants, isn't it?
-
- ##The reason I was able to comment without having seen the original text from
- ##Mr. Nyiko was for the obvious--very clearly obvious--reason that the followup
- ##held all the characteristics of a convenient and intentional misrepresentation--
- ##namely the attribution of ideas that nobody could hold to an opposing side.
- ##No reasonable person could possibly hold that women are to be abused by forced
- ##abortion and be on the pro-life side, now, could they? Be real. It's not a
- ##difficult conclusion to come to is it? Then why was it presented in this way?
- #
- #Your foot is so firmly in your mouth at this point -- I hope you have
- #your shoes off. Mr. Nyikos implied that the pro-choice position
- #supported forced abortions. No one implied the opposite.
- #
-
-
- I wonder if he's read Nyikos's post now.
-
- ##Frankly, you're not amusing at all, and I find your disrespect sickening. I'm
- ##not in the least convinced to follow your views or give them careful
- ##consideration based on the mockery you give. I much prefer reading an opposing
- ##view that correctly addresses the opponent with respect, without mockery.
- #
- #Perhaps if you would read posts before commenting about them and not
- #contradict yourself in the space of one paragraph, you might get less
- #mockery and more respect.
- #
-
-
- Really.
