Legate/Tribune helmet hunt

[caiusbeerquitius]

Not for the first time, you yourself break the rules.

What I do or don´t does not make your actions better or worse.

Clearly, and understandably given that English is not your first language, you have misunderstood what I wrote and assumed a personal meaning that is not there over my use of the word 'pedantic' ( and probably you may not understand the word itself). In doing so, you have done me an injustice.

This is the next hidden attack from your side. D

Firstly, the word itself derives from the greek 'pedagogue'/teacher and means in this context 'laying excessive stress on details' ( as teachers do), or colloquially, 'hair-splitting'. ( see also my use of the word in this post ). Clearly the use of the word itself is not a breach of the rules.

Secondly, the Grammar of the sentence:
Quote:To deny that the Autun example is of what we now refer to as 'Apulo Corinthian' is pedantic to say the least.
... refers to an act, not a person. It can be stated in other words as " Were someone to deny that the the Autun example of what we now refer to as 'Apulo Corinthian' is 'hair splitting' to say the least." Even if you (mistakenly) think the word 'pedantic' to be offensive, it was not addressed to you i.e. not personal. Clearly no breach of the rules has taken place.

Who´s splitting hairs now? :lol: :lol:
If I hadn´t already known that you´re a lawyer...

The helmet discussion is leading nowhere: Youre´right about the helmet, I´m wrong, that´s it. I regard discussing this with you any further as an utter waste of time. Be happy.
