Your boy's delightful ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=130&t=405162&page=8 where'd you find him again? |
 A. He doesn't take the internet seriously. B. I consider myself to be a pretty good friend of his, and still consider him to be 1/4 troll. C. IIRC, he has a degree in English, (Might even be a doctorate?), hence the needle fine points that he argues. D. He is well versed in German- I believe he reads, writes and speaks it as well as a few other European languages with proficiency. E. As a former Jarhead, with a few tours in Vietnam, he has some narrow veiws on what he needs to give a shit about. F. He sometimes argues points after he's lost simply to entertain himself...and apparently yourself for the past 27 days  .

Tango Down! Bonus points for style!

Notice how he hasn't replied to this thread? No fine points to argue, no gramatical atrocities (not spelled correctly, so please flog me now) committed (cept that one). I'm not sure how he can even use the internet without being called a hipocrite, as there was no internet back in pre 1980, nor the term. Just curious, why isn't this guy out shopping at retro-stores and living in a dusty liabrary researching the printing vs. copyright dates of all the books in the Lib. of Congress so that he can argue that you don't know anything because you can't quote, from memory, the printing date of the origional text that the term origionally appeared in. Oh, right, he can't because Al Gore's internet was invented too late to appear in any text, so therefore it doesn't exist. Sometimes I forget the point I'm trying to make  ETA: oops...i guess i was too late

No, it is valid because the computer industry recognizes and uses the term; it names something real. This is unlike "assault rifle", which is not recognized or used by the industry to whom it is credited (the military) and names only a mythical civilian contrivance. See the difference? Probably not. |
