Myth Weaver
There is no way any reasonable person can fail to "get" what we're talking about, and the context in which statements are made. Taking Mythopoet's statement as one of universal principle rather than a comment on writing rules is just ridiculous.
When did I take Mythopoet's statement as one of universal principle rather than a comment on writing rules?
My entire response to the "there are no absolutes" statements was meant to be in the context of writing rules.
Maybe I should have written:
Saying that there are no absolutes in writing is the same thing. "There are no absolutes in writing" is an absolute statement about writing. Either it's true and breaks itself or it's not true because other absolutes about writing exist.
I really don't feel that the "in writing" adds a lot, but apparently it does...?
Far from supporting your statement of a personal insult, this last post just underscores my original statement that you don't think about what you're responding to before responding or else are being disingenuous. Those are the only explanations for your continued mischaracterization and misreading of posts.
Really dude?
I respond to a comment that basically says "there are no absolutes" with a condemnation of that statement. You say, "No one said that 'there are no absolutes.'"
I still say, "Huh?"
