The scalpel of logic rrneck Nov 2012 #17
I disagree about step #2; it's where you 'step' outside formal logic muriel_volestrangler Nov 2012 #19
Who will admit to agreeing with muriel-volestrangler as to Step #1? RLBaty Nov 2012 #20
I better warn you: when you get back to logic with step #4, you fall flat on your face muriel_volestrangler Nov 2012 #21

Methinks at some point one of the "t"s in his last name got lost. n/t trotsky Nov 2012 #25
Trotsky, that's a common proposition! RLBaty Nov 2012 #29
Ho! Ho! Ho! trotsky Nov 2012 #34

OK, let's get started! RLBaty Nov 2012 #38

Trotsky, and your answer to your first Step #1 question is???? RLBaty Nov 2012 #40
Robert, I have also left a light on for you at the following site: trotsky Nov 2012 #46
Trotsky, you are the one behind in the good faith demonstration! RLBaty Nov 2012 #48
Robert, you have come here and issued a challenge! trotsky Nov 2012 #50

Oh Robert, I have enjoyed this attempt to test your intellectual mettle! trotsky Nov 2012 #144
Nice exit strategy; too bad your unicorn came up lame! RLBaty Nov 2012 #145
Don't forget, Trotsky, points and purposes can be elusive! RLBaty Nov 2012 #43
I assure you, Robert, I will not forget! Ho! Ho! Ho! trotsky Nov 2012 #44
Trotsky, so get started already! RLBaty Nov 2012 #45
Robert, I shall, when you provide your answers! trotsky Nov 2012 #47
I prefer a level playing field, and it's not level! RLBaty Nov 2012 #49
Robert, your continued attempts to shirk your responsibilities in this dialog are upsetting! trotsky Nov 2012 #52
Muriel, keep this under wraps until we get to Step #4! RLBaty Nov 2012 #33
Trotsky, here we are with reference to your attempt to compete with unicorns! RLBaty Nov 2012 #55

Step by reasonable step, intaglio! RLBaty Nov 2012 #114
Highlight the difference in statemnts. Explain your use of reason/imagination intaglio Nov 2012 #115
I try to refuse to chase rabbits and be further distracted by anonymous snipers! RLBaty Nov 2012 #116
The antecedent is not true therefore your usage is false. intaglio Nov 2012 #124
My argument cleared the first hurdle long ago; waiting for y'all to catch up! RLBaty Nov 2012 #125
You have falsely used the concepts in your antecedent intaglio Nov 2012 #126
So, you are still unable to bring yourself to openly, honestly complete Step #1! RLBaty Nov 2012 #127
