Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 We are all brothers, like it or not.<br><br>Good catches on the typos. Unfortuantely, due to the heavy volume of request from people to share my wisdom with them, I forgo proofing my messages in favor or reaching the widest possible audience.<br><br>Try to avoid using so many cliches like "what primordial ooze from which you<br> come" and your invective will be more effective.<br><br>As for your fixation with not ending sentences with prepositions, that rule of grammar taught in elementary school, is considered archaic as you can read in Strunk and White's Element's of Style as well as artilces by William Safire in his NYT column, On Language.<br><br>As for my anonymity and cowardice, why don't you click on my profile. My name, photo and residence are there for anyone to see.<br><br>Until you learn to addres me properly as Senor Pinche Wey, this will be our last correspondence.<br> <br>Your reference to Freud is sophomoric; your claim to extensive reading of Nietzsche is probably like your extensive study of Ashtanga: superficial and misinterpreted. Both great philosophies/practices are out of reach of your inferior intellect.<br><br>El Senor Pinche Wey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2000 Report Share Posted September 7, 2000 Dear Pinch,<br>I don't care if we correspond. You make many assumptions with so little information. Many "probablies" in your last reply without any proof, no? Quite typical of all your correspondences. <br><br>I won't respond to your infantile attempt to prove your intellect since you have such a high opinion of yourself already.<br><br>Your defence about your flawed writing style is typical. When in doubt call them typos. It works every time.<br><br>I don't need your condescending backhanded compliment that I have spunk. Your last message continues to show your illiteracy. Try a little proofreading and quit whining about how busy you are. References to books on style do not work. Clearly you are full of the manure you continue to try to spread to the public. <br><br>YOUR reference to Freud typifies the North American image of his ideas and vision. I suggest you really read what you claim to have studied. <br><br>And get over yourself, Pinch. <br><br>You obviously live in a rather small world. Consider expanding it a bit.<br><br>And finally I find it interesting that you are so open to discarding the archaic in the language yet you are so reactionary about everything else - especially yoga.
