Interested in giving lessons, pea? :P
Sure!

Lesson # 1

Start with the premise that no post is gratuitous. Each and every one you make could make an impact, somehwere, on someone. It could make them think, it could make them happy, it could give them a shove to act in some way (like do something), it could make them laugh and lighten their load and it could piss them off and clear the fog out of their head.

Once you have that lesson down, let me know and you can have lesson # 2.
Ya mean I could tell people to shove it, and they'll laugh and piss off? Or make them think they're happy?
Okay, so maybe you were not serious about wanting lessons.

That's very profound!

I think the charge was either Improper Passing or Following Too Closely. :)
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I think it was unnecessary pithiness.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

Thanks as always for doing this, LB.

I wish I'd had wifi in Texas. Maybe next time.
