Of course not, you've just exclusively used quotes from him to shed light on all of our situations, including in your signature.Originally Posted by Pindar

Even were one to allow that every time I quote it is Plato that still would have no baring on your charge.

I don't know that "gaggle" is the right word. Are we really geese? How a bout pod, sleuth, herd, triumph or pack? The geese reference seems awfully specific.
Oh, and in case I didn't say it this post, GAH!
If "gah" is not a word and makes you retarded by saying it, then what about Mr. Pindar for example getting hurt and crying something like "aargh!" or "ouch!"? Does that also make you retarded? Is that also inane?Originally Posted by Pindar

You're right, deductively I could not come to any conclusions from that. You're probably just taking quotes relating to the most fundamental nature of humankind, so in that way Plato remains relevant. But its strange that you are saying "the gaggle speaks" when all Socratic speaking traces its origins to that one famous plebian... in stark contrast to almost all other important pre-Socratic Greek thought, woven by real noblemen.Originally Posted by Pindar

Gah, doesn't make one retarded. It's opting for it in polls that does.Originally Posted by Me
Why would someone say "aargh' when hurt or crying? Are you thinking of hurt or sad pirates?
Ouch is a word.

All people who have opted for 'Gah' in a poll, please post your IQ's, SAT scores, university degrees, GPA's psychiatric records, and diagnoses for any sort of mental retardation...

I had written "plebe" before but in my desire to soften a blow I committed an error... won't make that mistake again it seems. "Plebe" is often used as slang to refer to a person of the lower class, as in "That poet is a plebe who is bleeding on the street". It can also refer to the lower class as a whole.Originally Posted by Pindar

Foiling is your genius. Shall I abandon such wisdom due to my pity state of being retarded, sire. What's more relationships are matters of luck than anything else as I am sure you are already enlightened about. So no worries may you fall into, master.

Amazingly, I don't feel "shackled" by dogma. I respond to polls without Gah. I also choose Gah as an option, when the poll choices offer less than satisfactory choices on issues that are far from black and white.

That is the traditional subject matter. Its use was to indicate the conditions to meet the proof had been met. If you use Q.E.D. as a rejoinder to my post #47 then you are agreeing the stance was sufficiently demonstrated. Is that what you want to do?It was used originally to conclude geometric proofs.
