An attack on secularism?

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

I'm sorry, PVC, but this statement is a correctly punctuated list. If I say "I went to the store to buy milk, bread, and broccoli," the three products are independent of each other. There is the potential for confusion in Beskar's sentence, since the item with you as possessor comes first (and because you're known to be religious and religion is often associated with 'Anti-H'), but on a careful reading it can't be interpreted as you possessing all three viewpoints.


This violates English punctuation standards. A semi-colon is used to separate like elements. It could be used to separate items within a list (especially if the items have internal commas), but not to separate an independent clause from the list items. A colon where the semi-colon is would be acceptable.

On the non-grammatical issue at hand, I have yet to see Beskar ground his principle of universal equality, in spite of claiming he could defend it in many ways. He spent his time saying it has nothing to do with God, apparently as a way of avoiding explaining what objective rationale there is for it.

I'll concede to the Grammarian, not least because he agrees with me on the important point.
