The Watchmaker: my fav argument

How many edits are you going to make to this post?  Some of us saw your original.  Some of us can still see it.

Tell me who Nudger kept from speaking their mind?

I edit my posts as often as it takes to communicate my thoughts effectively and precisely. I'm aware that might not be a concern you share lol.

None of this is true

Are you having some sort of mental breakdown?

Interruptions can only happen in public lol. They're not a problem in private rooms. That's why etiquettes are important in venues like this.

Nice skip on the inquiry regarding who Nudger is keeping from responding.

You have confused open forums with merely a public space. An open forum by definition allows anyone who wishes to state an opinion to do so. So there can't be interruptions as everyone is permitted to speak whenever they want. Thus the rules of etiquette on interruptions don't apply here. Oh and you can be interrupted in private. If I yell through your window while you're talking to someone and you get distracted. I have interrupted you.

Possibly me? I choose not to respond to John though, so, possibly he doesn't mean me.

Yes, concern troll us about netiquette while you throw a fit. That's entirely credible.

Hmm that's a good point lol. But Deborah Tannen has a book on discourse in which she studies the conversational styles of men and women (how men interrupt women specifically).

She argues that an interruption requires two things: For one person to start speaking, and the other person to stop. Therefore, if Nudger starts talking and others stop, an interruption has occurred.
