Report: Mormons Posthumously Baptize Anne Frank (this past Saturday)

[Johnny Rico]

102. How exactly do you insult (of all things) an analogy? Disagreement =/= Insult.

My analogies are accurate if you find the distinctions you draw irrelevant and meaningless to the overall affront.

Quite so, which means that your analogies are not accurate if I find the distinctions I draw relevant and meaningful. Which is the case.

You find my analogies imprecise because you find the distinction the Mormons would have you draw as to what it is they are precisely doing meaningful to a choice to be offended or not, or the reality of one's reaction.

Yes, precisely so. I happen to think that what they actually did is kind of, you know...relevant!

Once again, we have a difference in what you choose to ascribe meaning to, and what I, as one of the offended parties, find a meaningless and immaterial distinction.

I choose to ascribe meaning to the actual actions performed. Since you don't, I fail to see how we can come to a meeting of minds at this point. We have an irreconcilable difference.

There's starting to be an aspect here where it feels like you are more interested in arguing the matter than in understanding why Bonobo and I are so angered by the Mormon actions.

Well, of course I'm interested in arguing the matter. The whole point of the OP is that matter!

Look...we're just butting heads here. I'm not particularly offended by this incident, and you are. I don't really understand why it's that big a deal, you tried to explain why it was, and we still disagree.

That's all. At the end of the day we still disagree, and that's not the end of the world. Shall we just leave it at that?
