Fallacious.

Fallacy is a noun, fallacious is an adjective. Unless of course, you had some type of fallacy in mind ( http://www.fallacyfiles.org/inforfal.html)


I love the smell of split hairs in the morning!

Plus; Imagine if we had no one willing to take on the life of artists- no writing, no TV shows, no comic books...we'd probably all turn to zealous religious fundamentalism and advanced road-bomb design for our entertainment...

Just a thought Chrisisall

My apologies. Perhaps I should have just said, "maltreat."

What's happened to you Chris? You developed a mean streak at some point.

I suppose there's a difference between out-and-out meanness and ball-busting (heck, the latter can be done in genuine affection). But I'm not seeing much congeniality in this (or any other) RWED thread. We seem to have stabilized as an online community around particular social and political views. Unfortunately, those in the majority sometimes mistakenly think that their status as such entails that their positions are all the correct one. That means that some of them (and why name names?) give themselves permission to simply deride as moronic or evil anyone who should dare disagree. Yet we cherish the belief that FFF.net is a friendly, open, welcoming place. Well, it sure is--as long as your socio-political beliefs are of the correct sort, or as long as you stay the hell out of RWED. And seriously, I think that's just sad.

No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.
