A S has commanded the ATTENTION of a half dozen members who are exactly his equal by any measure of importance. Now, he can feel smug about "besting" them in an argument in which he has designated himself as the judge. I'm gonna go search out some crappie and leave the "search for truth" or, perhaps more apt, mental masturbation, to those with nothing better to do.
Very good characterization of that fellow's endeavor and methods. Trying to reason with a self-appointed judge is an exercise in human futility. Wish I could join you fishing today - higher allegiance calls.
CCCC, Ultimately every man judges for himself. You may attempt to disclaim your judgement by attributing them to an invisible friend, but that doesn't change that fact those judgments are ultimately your own.
Here, you fail. I do not at all disclaim judgment. I merely am able to acknowledge that I do not "know it all" in many matters (such as this) and, consequently, understand the falsity and futility of attempting to judge others from a weak standpoint. Try that lens, if you will.
