Reply #69: YOU HAVE CONVINCED ME WITH YOUR UNASSAILABLE ARGUMENT: [View All]

[TheZug]

Your post is a true gem of rhetorical persuasion! Before I had held up MLK's "Letter From Birmingham Jail" as an exemplar, but now that essay, however powerful, must fall behind yours.

"Here's a fucking fact for ya," "Yes, she is," "you don't know what the fuck you're talking about," "deal with it"--I have been turning over and over these intricately constructed arguments in my mind, and they are rock solid. To spend such time defining your times and providing evidence for your assertions--astonishing! The finest rhetoricians, from Socrates onward, could only resort to weeping and begging for mercy in the face of your mighty expostulations. And such persuasive language as well! So subtle, and yet so convincing!

My hat is off to you! Grant us another lesson, oh Master, so that we may learn!
