I think it's wonderful that she is recovering, and I pray for her complete healing. In response to your comment, I'm not starting flame wars. I merely pointed out that reaching 1,000 posts on a FR thread doesn't help anyone, least of all the child in question, although some posters here seemed to think it did, e.g., "Let's reach 1,000 for Haleigh!" and the like. Making a logical comment shouldn't cause one to be branded a troll or accused of starting a flame war, but it does. That doesn't say much for the quality of the discussion.
analogy went right over your head and now symbolism.
You call this a logical statement. It isn't logical. It isn't illogical, either. It's simply a statement or "proposition." Logic has nothing to do with it at all.
The discipline of Logic is concerned with correct or incorrect reasoning. Its concern is how the truth of some (related) propositions is connected with the truth of another. You must make an argument based on several propositions, one of which, called the conclusion, is substantiated by the others, called premises, IF you have reasoned logically.

Nonsense. What gets one a reputation as a troll is bad manners, negativism and violation of the rules and spirit of Free Republic. You were earning a reputation long before this trivial incident. Remember this? >> Comment #612 Removed by Moderator << (Thread: Scott Thomas update: mom's guardianship continued!)
What will improve your reputation like magic is statements like this:
I think it's wonderful that she is recovering, and I pray for her complete healing.
Thank you. I pray for her healing too. I think we all do.
Oh good grief. How much time have you spent on other threads? I browsed through a Canteen thread because they had a recipe contest. First it was bumped to 666, then to 1000. Nothing sinister. Many threads go over 1000 posts.
I'm sure you realize that there has been a lot of strife on this forum due to Terri Schiavo threads. Some of the comments were horrible. We tend to get our backs up when someone pops in and it seems like flaming is about to commence. There is a wealth of information here, and what is happening now, will affect all of us in one way or another, down the road.
All we can do is keep Haleigh and others in our prayers, and keep them visible. Thank you for keeping her in your prayers.
