No, what makes you look bad is a post that lacks any substantive criticism and consists solely of your opinion that it is incomprehensible. Such a post serves no useful purpose in a discussion.

In most cases there is no way to even get an overall handle on what he is trying to say, so there is no point in 'asking for clarification'. Apparently he simply builds one construct upon another, and I missed the first ten dozen classes.

Perhaps there are others here who sort of follow him and ignore the circularities and unsupported assertions, and I do not begrudge them trying to dialog. More power to them.

I understood Mr. Wallack's posts perfectly. Perhaps those who do not understand, do not want to understand. But to understand is not to mean agree. Had you endeavored to understand and did, you could then state explict commentary on why Mr. Wallack was wrong. Not only did you not attempt to make it to first base, you never even picked up the bat and entered the batter's box.

What parts of Joe's commentary did you not understand? Perhaps some of us might be able to explain it to you, and then you might make some cogent arguments. After all as the name of this forum indicates, it is a Discussion Forum and not a Don Rickle's best quotes forum.

One request I have for JW is to stop capitalizing words so much...

When JoeW mentions me in a post, as if he is asking something of substance, then most of the time (if I see his reference, like here) I will respond. If he offers nothing of substance, then of course my response may appear to be the same.

A to Z. If there is something there that you think I should respond to, then spell it out straight, especially the part where Joe was asking me something maybe.
