Sorry to have bored you.
But I really think you should take it as a something of a compliment, or a sign of respect, that I assumed you had appreciation for the standard practices of formal logic.
No one comes on FR to be lectured or taught formal logic. Surely you know that. I’ve read and reread your post and what you are basically saying is that I will always suspect that female politicians are going to be dissed by conservatives. You may be right about that or you may be wrong. Right now I believe that among conservatives there is NO place for a female presidential candidate. I find that sad and infuriating. (Conservative women are among the worst!)
I’m sorry if I was snarky to you. I enjoy taking the mickey out of people sometimes and when I saw the latin word, I just had to go for it! I apologize.
You take care.
