149. Let me just continue to correct your errors...
You may be technically correct with the distinction between markup tags and "actual scripting."

I'm not technically correct. I'm simply correct. Markup is not scripting and scripting is not markup. Furthermore, your use of quotations around the words actual scripting, implies those were said by somebody. I never said the word actual. You've construct another imaginary quotation.

But you fail to mention that DU uses a form of BBCode, many of whose tags can be used on DU.

Actually, wrong again, it uses a subset of HTML, with the < and > replaced with by square brackets. It says on every posting page and there is a link to a pop-up window with examples. Also, I did not fail to mention it. It is exactly what the word markup means in the context of my post.

When I use my "Windoze" computer I have a browser add-on, which makes it easier to insert the div, etc., tags (I added the tags I want under the user config screen).

I don't think anyone really cares what computer or operating system you use, I certainly don't. Completely irrelevant to the fact that you are using the wrong terminology. Just another clear example of you injecting irrelevant content into every post.

Lately, I've been on my Linux laptop and it's just too much time to search out a browser add-on or even keep those available for copy & paste.

And I guess you're too lazy or dumb to just click the "HTML lookup table" at the top of each posting area form.

Replying to anti-nuker silliness deserves as little of my time as possible.

Your repeated use of derision serves no purpose. Recently every post of yours contains some sort of derisive little aside against "the anti-nuke nutjobs", which I find rather amusing, and which suggests to me that you're suffering from a lack of self-confidence and anxiety because you're arguments are non-existent and you know that you are in over your head.

There now. That was a civil response. Perhaps just not the one you were hoping for, maybe?

I couldn't care less if you are civil or not, but I understand there are rules on the forums that must be followed. The only thing I do care about is either a) you make valid arguments or b) you shut up.

The only reason I brought up the fact that you used the term scripting incorrectly was to demonstrate, as your reply and this message clearly does, that you gloss over details in such a gross and roughshod manner that almost everything you contribute here suffers from a lack of clarify and attention to detail.

I'm overly polite by using the word contribute to describe your posts.
