Ian: without any visible agreements, actual positions get ignored, perceived positions get misquoted (as straw men) and thrown back as misleading positions in ad-hominem arguments. (Half a dozen examples in this thread alone.) [Ron points out] Notice Ian, how you are making an appeal to clarity in meaning.
Ian continues: Also, far from "verbose drivel" I'm using "economy of expression" (As in "Agreed. Precisely", as in "Yes, emphatically", etc) to signal agreed points and not waste mail volume on the "bland" stuff so we can get to the meat. References to "verbose drivel" are another spurious straw man, directed at the person. [Ron notes] You are making an arguement for the use of "economy of expression" then demonstrate how ineffectual at conveying accurate and clear meaning it is when employing it in your conversations. All you are making is a case for how your "economy of expression" fails in it's intended purpose, the accurate conveyence of meaning. ...
