Nick, you have it completely backwards. The ONLY logical option is to disagree with a premise, you can NOT disagree with logic. If A implies B, and B implies C, then you can disagree with the assumption A, but not with the logic that A implies C (you might say that the logic has a mistake, but then it isn't really logic but rather illogic). > We do have shared notions of civility; you seem to be refusing to > acknowledge their existence.

Thankfully, otherwise it would be a boring place. > There's that straw man again. Who among us has said that one cannot > post something that upsets the majority? There's that faulty memory again. Just look back to the thread where a number of people advocated banning Mark; before that, there was talk about kicking off JDG; before that, Alberto. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/
