I appreciate your attention to this matter, and have taken the view of trying to avoid logical fallacies to forward your points. However, though employing reasoning in the approach, its governing influence is according to spiritual laws, not purely logical. It is my desire to obey and preserve that line of development, not to attack the person (although it is sometimes taken that way).

Let me warn you: If I were you, I would pay serious attention to what some of your responders have to say. When a turn of phrase brings out the wry humor in one's inconsistencies, or pokes at one's difficulty in laughing at himself, the person who coins the phrase sometimes has a deeper perception of the problem at hand.

Such a person is not mocking, but entertaining himself and others whilst making his(her) point. You yourself may come to see that as a sort of picaresque way of coming at reality sideways.

Personally, I'm not very good at chiding, and tend to take myself a little too seriesly. FR is a good place to suffer a little for that kind of self-perception. Maybe a lot, if one can't let go.

Say...

...do I have to learn new words so early in the morning?

I'd much prefer my usual reasoning attempts with young, humanoid forms of a bituminous nature.
