[V8] How not to make an argument

 Well chased logic Mr Levitt.  Our best hope is J123fs understands it, but a quick paruse of his past posts on the v8 list shows that might be difficult to accomplish, at best.  Since I suspect this is another proxy-slime attempt from his buddy Ron W, we all should be diligent about not putting Massachusetts drinking water in our radiators...  It's obviously not potable.

And kudos to Chris as well, for a well measured response.  The best vendor/lister/enthusiast, is one seasoned to reckless attacks from rank amateurs in spam-slam.  And Lee, I spit my coffee this am reading the simple "green cheese" logic train!   I promise that I will use that at the Steamboat drivers meeting at the end of this month...  Somehow.

Cheers and rally on...

I know I already posted an "enough" comment, but I could not let this 
one go...

Whether you agree or not is irrelevant. Your disagreement doesn't change 
the impact or truthfulness of their statement.

Dangerous ground here. You're trying to multiply the value of your 
statement by suggesting that "quite a few" others, unnamed, verify 
your/their personal experiences. These unnamed others don't need to 
verify your experience. Your experience is yours. Only you can verify 
it. And you don't even state what their experience was, not that you 
would be a credible provider of a third party's experience. Speak for 
yourself, and yourself only.

Bullshit.

I personally, and many of my friends know, that the moon is made of 
green cheese.

True? Nope.

> No need to go into grimy details here,

But that's exactly the point. You're making shit up and you have 
destroyed your own credibility in doing so.

'Nuff said.

If you'd like to discuss this further with me, offlist ONLY.

Best,

Lee
