As if you assessments,
^^^

Please forgive me if I placed the carets wherever I felt like. I your
case I felt the most appropriate placement was under the word "ass".
and attempted moderations have any modicum of
maturity in an open, free speech, public forum.

Learn to set your filters, Jerry boy.

Well, I kinda like the fact that the dynamics of a public pissing
match cause the pissers to realize that they can't just slough off a
particularly well-aimed squirt, since they're being watched and the
quality of their pissing judged.

Do try to alert us before that happens.
Try private email and preserve at least a modicum of dignity.

Faculty advisor? Can't say as I've owned one either. See, the problem
here, oh Chairman of the dorks, is that in science we prefer to state
definitive rationale for what we say. And despite our appreciation for
your unadorned opinions we find they contribute far more to the anals
of science than its annals.

So why don't you take the matter up with the one who didn't use the
correct word? I had to make a choice. If he had the effrontery to use
poor composition the least I could do was to take affront or possibly
umbrage.

No, the least you could have done was nothing at all.

In neither case would I have taken affrontery.

affrontery - to insult to the face by behavior or language

Used: "And you, Scarecrow, have the affrontery
to ask for a brain..."

foursome first meet him)

MacArthur's singing that song to congress keep him from leaving a corpse
when he died.

No, it was MacAuthur's singing and science
that was one of the main reasons that we
starting making cruise missiles, helicopters, RPGs,
AI, Sattelites, and Robots for the idiot US Army, rather
than more tanks, forts, jeeps, and B-29s.

Nothing at all.
and why do you find it necessary to try to berate him at every
opportunity?

Because he insists on draping himself in the flag and acting like he's
the only one who's ever been there or done that and that it somehow
has a bearing on the issues raised here.

Sure I do.
You prefer whatever comes along which will allow you to be an
argumentative, deceitful troublemaker.

And the difference would be what exactly? That I prefer truth instead
of kissing your ass?

In which case I'd be fully on a par with you.
In neither case would I have taken affrontery.

My dictionary disagrees. But then I expect it would with most movie
citations.
