The straw man you attacked is as I quoted above. The claim of circular logic is a separate point, and I addressed it in the rest of the message. Like you, I stripped the part of the message that I was not responding to specifically. > Plus, I will not kindly do anything for you unless you kindly stop > being condescending and self-righteous when answering questions and > start treating people with respect. I always endeavour to treat people with respect, and I leave it to the independent reader to decide how successful I am in that endeavour. Respect for a person, though, entails subjecting that person's statements to criticism where appropriate. Don't mistake exposure of flaws for self-righteousness, nor criticism for condescension. This isn't a forum for discussing my style, so I'll limit this message to merely addressing these slurs. -- \ “The long-term solution to mountains of waste is not more | `\ landfill sites but fewer shopping centres.” —Clive Hamilton, | _o__) _Affluenza_, 2005 | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
