no, this is like playing chess with a pigeon...NL craps the board, knocks the pieces on the floor, and struts around like he’s made a point.

I don't see Norm in that light. If I don't, I bet there's some validity and rationale for my impressions... Suggestion: back up, allow the definitions to be accepted, and have a (much more productive) discussion.

This would require someone with the mental capacity to understand a few rather pedestrian concepts.

first, there is compromise of strategy and compromise of principles, and they are different.

second, the word nuance can be used in different contexts. You might say the essence itself is nuanced.

third, not everything is either black or white 100% of the time.

Fourth, one cannot keep ignoring three or four major foundational points made against him and retain any credibility.

I don’t think the subject at hand is capable of processing the above, and even if he were, big enough to admit it.
