Re: YMTC: Redabot weighs 129.8?

Ack, this baseball extended metaphor is starting to hurt my head. I'm not sure I get it anymore. But that's okay, because people in Toronto have had no inclination to be baseball fans for a good decade.

I question whether there's enough demand, but if there is, we can all discuss this in a split thread (which a moderator can do to certain posts in this thread). Let me know and I'll ask. But Dave, you are mistaking the reasoning behind my posting this publically. I am by no means trying to squash any criticisms; after all, I am confident I can respond to anything someone can bring to it--No I want to. My reasoning is based on evidence, and data has been one-sided (I admitted originally that some sources were of questionable credibility, but that doesn't change the fact that no source gives engineers the advantage). My reasoning behind that last public post is actually very simple and comes in three parts:

a) it is in response to one comment in particular (yes in jest, but that's not the point), made in public

b) it was challenged in public forum by a seperate individual

c) if I were to PM one or both of these individuals it would not preclude my being challenged by other people such as yourself who haven't received this PM, in which case I'd have to take the time to write each and every such person a letter, which I don't have the inclination to do (ask yourself if you or someone like you would have let a comment like that slide had I not made that reply; I certainly wouldn't have )

I wasn't aware that some people held public discourse of a joke topic in such high regard. But if that's the case, I'm willing to go. I refuse to be called names like "intellectually dishonest" under mistaken premises.
