Probably I just don't get the punchline.

I hadn't noticed.

Seems churlish and peurile to me

Humor is a somewhat subjective thing. Deal with it.

I don't believe we should have to deal with it. It is subjective, yes, but that doesn't mean it is always appropriate.

It is a self-organizing kakistocracy.

How could it be any other way? Pure evolution. Anyone who is even remotely qualified leaves this forum pretty fast, and the only ones left are the people who lack the skill to even understand how bad they are with math. Oh wait, there is also some percentage of folks who know that they are bad - and are enjoying it.

After Dennis Miller I can only repeat - "of course that's just my humble opinion, I might be wrong."

Where we'll all be long before a consensus is reached in this thread.

Then, in my opinion, you are a weak debater.

Always be prepared to argue your point. Always be willing to accept if you are incorrect.

Please present where you think I'm incorrect with this argument.

Last time I gave you a full response you came back with snide remarks about my verbosity.

To be honest I think my point is clear and needs no elaboration. Your abrupt tone does not endear me to giving this dialogue between the two of us any further time.

Terribly sorry for the "high bandwidth".

I simply assume that those who work with me can deal with it.

My apologies if you can't.

It's not that I can't deal with it It's that sometimes one person's past actions can burn bridges and sacrifice any goodwill for the future. I'm not feeling particularly keen to go into detail to explain myself when in the past it has been met only with derision.

OK. A reasonable argument.

What would you like to present?

I'm very comfortable being shown I'm incorrect while I push the envelope. It's how we learn.

Some don't like my methods. My sincere apologies for that.

Not likely going to change...
