Is calling somebody "wrong" and showing the reasons
why I think so now considered "rude"? In that case,
it would appear that you consider debate too "rude"
to continue with. You can't expect that we will
agree with you wholeheartedly about everything you
say, nor can you expect to know everything.


I had said:
> Your claim is wrought with far more assumptions.
> _Bad_ :(

There's nothing "rude" about this. What is "rude"
about challenging your assumptions? Did you perceive
"bad" to be "rude"? I was merely refering to "bad
methodology" which is a fair arguement. I accompanied
it with a less-than-serious smiley in order to
convey that I'm smirking a bit in a friendly manner
as I'm saying it. It was I suppose in vein. I could
hardly care whether you are naughty in real life :)


Then I had said:
> You remain deaf. I can do no more.

Again, I was simply noticing that you are not
addressing my arguements. Ergo, you are in a
figurative sense "deaf". Is it rude to grow tired of
repeating the facts that someone wishes to arrogantly
dismiss because he feels he knows better than
linguistics itself? So be it: I've grown tired of it.
I would hope that you at least consider what I've
said for a moment before responding, if possible. Not
listening to someone is in fact rude. I'm listening
to you, but to your chagrin, I still must challenge
it.


> And who do you think I am? Your subordinate?

No, an equal, as I am to you. You will not be put
on a pedestal and I will confront things that you
say that I know to be incorrect.


> Starting from now, I will ignore you, [...]

It's inconsequential to me. Again, you will not be
put on a pedestal and if you find debate too
stressful, it may well be the best thing for you to
do.

However, please don't simplistically confuse me for
Ryan. We have very different views of things and I
very much side with conservatism. I have a distain
for amateurish reconstructions of Proto-World. I
will also confront him on any falsehoods without
shame or fear.
