In Response To: please read... (Johannes Gunnar) : Andrew, what I am going to say now is not a direct reply to your well-written
: lift your hands off the keyboard, take a big breath, stand up, and take a
i'm still a proponent of the idea that your computer should periodically interrupt you with the message "WARNING: YOU ARE ON THE INTERNET." furthermore, i clearly remember a conversation a couple months back where fobo prefaced every paragraph with variations on 'it's my opinion that...' and then ryoko wrote a response just saying flat out what he thought and both of them got all >:( at each other. i sided with ryoko in the ensuing argument because i know for sure that in every writing class i've ever taken, they've warned us never to use phrases like that in a persuasive paper because it's obvious from the way things are phrased already and from the overall context of the paper that of course it's your opinion. buuuut, if you state it as such, then your paper loses that FIREY touch that argumentative papers require. and besides, in an argument, why would you hold an opinion that you didn't give the same sort of weight as you would fact? using things like 'it's my opinion that...' has the same effect as using 'it's illogical, and yet...' you want logic on your side, amirite? and an argument is a contest between one person and the other as to who can point out a flaw in the other's thinking. this is simply how debate between matters of opinion works. i know that ryoko's style of writing is the correct way to promote an opinion when your argument is solely over a matter of such. i do not know why we keep getting upset about it. i mean, it's obviously important to be polite on the internet, but at the same time if you'd just remember that YOU ARE ON THE INTERNET (it's a WARNING), you'd be fine. one last time, because i know not all of you have thought it through yet. WARNING: YOU ARE ON THE INTERNET. tl has complained in the past that i make rambly posts. this might be one of them. sorry.
