FYI I have knocked my computer back into the stone age so my spellcheck does not work. I never claimed to be perfect.
I'm not really a spelling nazi and am far from immune to making such mistakes, myself. Really my biggest complaint with your writing is the lack of focus. It kind of jumps around and goes off on tangents. You mentioned that my earlier post was ambiguously worded and that is a fault we can agree on. But, in the interest of giving sincere feedback, it is one that you frequently suffer from.
Does this seem like a useful discussion? Perhaps a critique of wordsmanship belongs in a thread devoted to ones own favorite quotes.
Have I derailed threads, that is a different story. In this one I did because when I hear something that bothers me I cant simply skip it, but that is not the same as having no focus.
So allow me to give away my tactic so everyone knows how I opperate.
No matter what the claim is, when it comes to all claims of the super natural or new age woo, all of those start with a naked assertion. And any claim that starts with a naked assertion can only follow up with crap no matter how elaborate that crap may be. So I do not feel any need or duty to dance through their mental mess. If they had something more than a naked assertion they wouldn't have to debate it, the could demonstrate it.
That is me, I don't like the dance. I see no need or value in dancing with absurd claims. Call them what they are. Simple and directly to the point.
