Strunk and White in The Elements Of Style said: A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. That is where I'm going - to put forward precise concision as the proper format for posts in this forum and to suggest that members read the articles that are posted, as they are above, and use those articles in an autodidactic way as springboards to further reading to broaden one's knowledge of the subject in the OP.
precise concision, how autodidactic.

How petty. It would be vindictive of me to repeat your posts back to you like that. See, I already knew what your new words meant.

...using a thousand words to say what could be said in a couple sentences is no virtue... It does not require long, repetitive theses to get one's point across...the ebb and flow of a discussion are better served by succint precision...
...short and sweet is better than long and pedantic...it doesn't require gas bagging...
We're not writing history...precision is de rigueur...
...A sentence should contain no unnecessary words...a drawing should have no unnecessary lines...a machine no unnecessary parts...precise concision as the proper format for posts...read the articles...use those articles in an autodidactic way...

incessant whining.

as a knight in shining armor to a damsel in distress. Ok.
Gee. I've never been called a damsel before. And he's not a knight, just a captain of cavalry.

i denounced a 'von' in '84 - i used to be a knight before that View attachment 3855
But I've never been a damsel before. BTW, I was banned from CWT for protesting a little too vigorously against your banning and the invasion by the odd couple of the privacy of PMs.

Hey, just a quick question. Was I in distress when you posted #84 above? It's okay to call me a damsel, but I'm pretty sure I was not distressed.
In fact my last previous post in this thread was 22 hours before @byron ed called me a damsel in distress. Along with knowing everything is he also psychic? If so, his ESP malfunctioned. At the time he had me in distress, I was posting in the West Virginia Statehood thread. I re-read that post and there are no signs of distress.

you'd be a rather hairy damsel - and i'm not in the business of rescuing that sort of damsels (or any other). if the ladies are to be seen as equal (and i think that's the way to go) there's no reason why anybody should be nice to them (for being ladies that is)

?? "damsel in distress" came up in an exchange between two other posters, neither of which was you, and neither of which had named you.*

Do you have something more on Canadian slavery?

You are very persistent in demanding of me something I have already done. Maybe you should stop bitching at me and post something yourself about Canadian slavery - see if you can do it precisely and concisely.
