Are you indicating that this type of sentence is done with intent?


"One that you, Lisa and Chas
have fallen for by taking the "discussion" to a personal level. Instead of presenting valid points that refute Gary's,
you instead are now commenting on his "style". Which begs the question...run out of ideas?"

I haven't FALLEN for anything as I am not here to discuss his points or ideas. I haven't run out of ideas because I am not bothering to find them in the first place. I have got my own irons in the fire and cant expend mental energy on this exercise. Also, I made it very clear that I am probably the last person that should be asking about grammatical sentence structure as I type with a stream of consciousness and it hardly ever includes "corrrectness" ..be it politcal or grammatical and I am known for making up words to fit my ideas.

Also, one can have ideas and still question what the hell he is talking about when one comes across repeated instances of weird sentences.

I am just asking if that sentence was done that way on purpose and what was the purpose.

I have no interest in "engaging" on the topic.

Hi BOP,

Oh no, certainly not! -g Me, run out of idea? Perish the thought.

I have been trying to ask Gary a rather simple question all day, but he has written paragraph after paragraph of incomprehensible prose.

what you seem to have missed here is that the
seemingly incomprehesible passages are placed in the message for a purpose. One that you, Lisa and
Chas have fallen for by taking the "discussion" to a personal level. Instead of presenting valid points that
refute Gary's, you instead are now commenting on his "style".

By the way, it's very sweet of you to run to his aid. You're a good friend. I must ask, though: why is it OK for you to comment on Gary's style, but not anyone else?
