Northwest Communication Journal - Longinus- on Sublimity. - for Barfo

Secondly, i was laughing with Hap, it was a funny joke.

Thirdly, i never insulted specifically or generally. I made a comment on a group, that no one in this forujm is part of, unless they feel they are a part of it. That's what gets me, I figured most of you would agree, because you are Portland fans. yet some of your guilty consciences seemed to have gotten the better of you. So, you lashed out at me, when its your guilty conscience that made you assume i was talking about you. Chris even made it apparently clear that he knows he's been bad. You see, i never insulted anyone at this porum specifically or generally. I only was discussing a group of fans that sicken me. Some of the people here seemed to have placed themselves in this group. Not of my doing, but of their own guilt. Don't blame the messenger. I in no way broke the rules in which i read before making my first post. Which is why i worded it, so no one in the forum was being insulted. I can't help if people identified with the group that sickens me. Guilt is very powerful. My second and third post attacking chris, well that was against the rules, but it was Chris that started the abusive ad hominem and I finished although I regret that, i also condone my defense.

Give it up, brotha...

I just can't give it up. I find it hard to believe people will ignore academic logic. It was simple, straightforward logic. It was semantically correct. Why should i give up, when I am in the right semantically and communicatively?

Minstrel

You ended your opening post with this:

The most obvious interpretation of this is that it's an appeal to your readers, which are the posters in this forum. In that case, you are addressing members of this forum when you exort them to "not let you down" and to "not sicken you with their back-stabbing and complaints."

If that was not your intention, then your understanding of communication is poor for you not to realize that that's the clearest interpretation of your words, which is odd for a supposed professor in the field.

Finally, please drop the condescending attitude. It's becoming increasingly clear that you're simply not very good with rhetoric, professor or not. Qualifications mean nothing, demonstrated ability means everything.

Correct semantics + clear communication does not always equal a logical argument. There's a few other factors involved; but I shouldn't have to tell a "professor" that should I. Give it up and give it a rest. You are trying to defend a rather stupid generalization by throwing out statements of guilt to those who detract. William Buckley would not be impressed with this middle school debate tatic.

Again Mistrel you are incorrect. You make me sad, because its obvious our education is failing simple language construction logic.

Again this last sentence could not be directed at the board, but at the group that I was discussing. I again never addressed the board or anyone specifically. I made that very clear semantically. I though that was obvious by the semantic connection, otherwise I would be insulting myself, which would exclude the ALL semantically conclusion and therefore lead to the most probably semantic assumption that I was speaking of a specific group, the group that sickens me and back-stabs.

I fear minstrel that your one of those people feeling guilty and your trying to justify your actions by condemning me. It's just showing your ignorance toward the english language. Moreover, it should be extremely clear how you mistakened the language and assumed incorrect assumptions from the language as to who was being spoken about . Even moreover, only the author could possible be 100% accurate as to who they are addressing when the subject is addressing in such vague and ambiguous terms (read (Jacques Derrida - Inc) on deconstructivism). Which would be me and I have tried to explain to you simple language rules, but you ignore them. I hope you learn something. If anyone has learned anything then I have succeeded. If not, then I will continue until this simple lesson is over.

True colorado and as I said earlier, truthful evidence or warrants and a valid argument structure equals a good argument. I am merely stating not how to correctly interpret language.

SheedSoNasty

You're grand attempt to educate the public in a message board regarding the english language is laughable and your point does nothing but bait a group of people because of their opinions.

This is ridiculous.

That is, indeed, obvious.

You should.

Your fixation on assigning guilt to anyone who argues with you is reminiscent of another poster assigning hatred of Muslims to anyone who doesn't like Reef as a basketball player. In short, very very silly.

I don't think mistakened is even a word, professor.

So now you are accusing yourself - a professor of communication - of writing vague and ambiguous things?

Please, please do continue. This is very enlightening.

You are merely stating not how to correctly interpret language? Okey doke.

Huh?

You'd think someone with such a condescending attitude would be able to string sentences and ideas together that make sense. Go try to impress someone else - we're not buying it here...

This is just too good.

I'm not a professor - I just play one on the internet!

Oh, man. I'm reading this absurdity with morbid fascination. Clearly, Mr. Bowl is an imposter, and a particularly offensive one at that. Of that there can be no doubt. Part of me wishes he'd just get banned already. But part of me can't look away.

Communications professor.

Anxiously awaiting the next "lesson,"
