Allow me to rephrase, then.

Ahem. It really seems to me that you are offering strong negative opinions, but I feel I can quite confidently assert the contrary. After all, I seem to recall, if memory serves, that you've told us that all opinion claims have no basis. If I'm right about this, how can you be so determined to think as you do, or dispute my opposite assertion? I'm afraid that given your insistence that opinion is utterly divorced from the small core of knowable reality that is available to us, I can see no defense for the strength and pungency of your statements.'

I hope this is to some degree less objectionable, in your estimation, and that you can now assure me that my argument is more gentlemanly, than motherly.

I'd be happy to, if I had a clue what you were talking about.

It means that you goofed when you used Democratus' aphorism as a blunt instrument to say that all opinion is bullshit (or something like that). It leaves you with no ground to say anything with authority and pugnacity, though you insist on doing so constantly.

In other words, how can ANYONE be a stupid and wrong, when all they are doing is differing with you on some matter that is all bullshit no matter what?

You're so hostile. First its Zeke now it's me. You befoul our fresh aire. And point your gnarly finger in all directions. Shame on you.

Love,
