Quite a difference. The excluded middle strikes once again, for on either side of things, the overreach is the real killer.
Post #418 was not a syllogism. It was not an if, then statement. It was not a logical argument to discover a yet unknown or unrecognized truth or an attempt to persuade. It was two statements of fact between parties (Stfassisi and me) who share a common belief acknowledging that for those not interested in the revealing a truth logical arguments, such as syllogisms, are of no matter.
Peace be with you
