Seriously?? As someone much smarter than me once said: "When you reach the bottom of the hole, stop digging." While I admire persistence in trying to defend an untenable position, I'm at a loss to understand why this is acceptable behavior from the SAA? As far as I can tell, you've tried your best to imply the worst possible meaning of my statement even in the face of multiple folk explaining the difference between calling some one stupid and calling a result a stupidity. You also - again - seem to be missing the context. The actual * quote was: > With respect to the term "stupidity", this was the least offensive > term I was able to come up with that had the appropriate impact in the > above statement. This is not an "unfortunate event" or a "well meaning > action" or even a "mistake". "Stupidity" at least leaves the question of > malign intent open. "this stupidity" is conjugate with "unfortunate event", "well meaning action" and "mistake" all items relating to the event/result. Had I been able to prove malign intent, or I were trying to be offensive just to be offensive I would have used something more like: "this crime", "nefarious outcome", "underhanded result", or "dishonorable treatment". But I'm sure we would then be discussing why I called someone a criminal. This subject and this poster are in my kill file. If you want me to read any further, again, please use your inside voice and mail me directly as I've now ask three times.
