Re: Bell cap how to

[Magnus]

Matt.

Where you speak so much about being academically correct and the nomenclature of a subject then would it not also on your part be politely correct and in the true academic sense that is, where you would contact the lady Carol-van-Driel Murray to allow her to defend her point of view or do you just throw derogatory remarks around no matter who the person might be.

Ok, since you're unable to address any of the points in my posts we'll play it your way. PM me the "lady's" email addy and I'll ask her.

And can you clarify the derogatory remarks? Or are you attempting to erode my credibility in order to boost your own, since posting your resume didn't work out as you planned? LOL

But let's see..Hmmmm...reading the thread. Page 4, first post I refer to this debate as rediculous...but I didn't insult anyone. My next post said for you to get over it, because you were over-reacting to the debate with Matt Lukes...is that really an insult?

Page 5 second post...I said for you not to be insulted...and then I followed that with nothing insulting. The post immediately after that of mine I said you were "staunchly defending" bell caps. Did that make you mad? A bit farther down I insulted the bell cap by calling them handi-caps. But I'm pretty sure inanimate objects have no feelings. Last post on page five I said you were attempting to manipulate people by saying if they are logical, then they simply must believe in your theory. I then went on to say that was rather sad. Is that what you are talking about? Because I'm still not seeing it...

Page 6...I told you again to get over "it"...refering to the fact that a bell cap is a washer. That hurts your feelings it seems. I then used the word "Nothing" in all caps...more for emphasis...I wasn't yelling.

That's basically it. You seem to have an emotional attachment to bell-cap washers. Most of my "negativity" is aimed at them...but in terms of insulting you? I guess my "sad" comment was about as close as you can get...

...but I think you're just upset because you realise your logic is simply wrong. And let's face it...no-one likes being wrong. The best part of all of this is that I have no emotional investment here. The bottom line to me, is the importance of using the proper terms and why. And above all using the best evidence available. Personal opinion and your resume doesn't count as evidence unfortunately.
