Axe is as vital as primitive it is. So here it goes:
I don't like Pindar's style over here and no matter how he tries to rationalize that salad-o-philiosophic murmur and incredibly tries to correlate it with the discussion of our beloved retardedishly-simple word called GAH!, "behaving" means much more to me rather than the capacity of thinking. I am a retarded and he does not behave.
*Axe swings..
Good we agree.Quote:

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?Quote:

Gah, doesn't make one retarded. It's opting for it in polls that does.Quote:

Ouch is a word.
Why do you refer to Socrates as a plebian given he wasn't Roman?Quote:

It is perhaps best, if one remains ignorant of arrogance...Quote:

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?Quote:
It was used originally to conclude geometric proofs.
No.Quote:

No, reread the discussion in its context.Quote:

Yes, but they would be wrong.Quote:

That which retards i.e. stymies the development or progress of a thing. The gah response in polls stymies discussion and is thus a retardation. Another example would be this:Quote:
What is your personal criteria for retardation?
"GAH!" or
"Gah Canadian positive Gah !" or
"Gah!" or
"Gah!" or
"HaG" (this is an example of the gaggle who can't spell)
If one isn't happy with the options then they shouldn't respond to the poll obviously. If one refuses to respond because gah is not present then that is an example of the gaggle mentality.Quote:

I did. The base use of Q.E.D. is as I described. It means sufficient proof has been given. To use it directly after a position is stated (even if it is your interlocutor's) suggests sufficiency of that stance. My guess is that is not what you wanted to say.Quote:

I think a good steak to the heart of this thread is in order. It's older than Nosferatu.
There's nothing more annoying than a corpse with a mind of its own.

What swine dared add a vote to the poll just now?
This is literally worse than the destruction of Nimrud. :gah2:
