"Ice picks and rapiers are all very well, but sometimes a cavalry saber is the weapon of choice."

hehe. Well, since I misspent a vast chunk of my youth on Philosophy and Pure and Applied Logic, three things get my hackles up
1) Sophists trying to argue cases by tapping dictionaries
2) Dropping Philosophers names in an effort to sound deep, despite the fact that said Philosophers positions are entirely anathema to the case being made
3) Abusing Logic and calling it reason.

Odin happened to do all three in one thred, so out came the rhetorical nukes.

I do appreciate the compliment, Fox, I have had A lousy week at work coupled with a BioHazard 4 level cold... So its nice to know something this week went well, even if it was a harmless little flame.
