It is obvious that you, Dimitri Vulis, intend to be disruptive to the operation of this list. I have politely asked you several specific questions about your motives.
Sorry for the noise, but could Logos be specific as to the fallacy in each item he/she is addressing? I thought that was the purpose of the Logos character. I indicated in my original post that I would be addressing both logic and decorum. With regard to the questions above, I was asking Dimitri Vulis to give a more detailed explanation of his thinking process. Once some of his assumptions are made explicit, it will be easier to make meaningful comments about the rigor of his reasoning process. It was never my intent to nit pick about every bit of sloppy reasoning by every poster to Cypherpunks. Rather, I am trying to elevate the general level of discourse via selective commentary and (hopefully) by example. If Dale Thorn, or anyone else, feels that a more rigourous attention to logic and/or decorum is called for, I heartily welcome your participation. Logos out
