Your reaction shows how dumb intelligent people like you can be...

A reminder: You have already been warned not to indulge in personal attacks.

Re: Why Russia has lost the war.
Personal attack? I just said that Steve is intelligent... But maybe being called intelligent in this forum is an insult...
And any further "warning/threat" from you and I will gladly go somewhere else with my opinions...

In fairness, it's not like I hold my tongue. If I can dish it out, I can take it.

Re: Why Russia has lost the war.
Thank you Steve. I have often said here that I consider you an intelligent person. Occasionally using the word "dumb" in respect of anything you may have said does not change a thing about the consideration I have for you. And "dumb" is not particularly aggressive... I am called dumb quite often, and I know it is meant as an expression of praise...SteveFoerster wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 10:34 amIn fairness, it's not like I hold my tongue.

But I think Doc was more upset at my once using the word "pathetic" at his address. Maybe because he thinks that "pathetic" is an insult. For his benefit I quote from the Merriam-Webster in respect of that word:
Definition of pathetic
1: having a capacity to move one to either compassionate or contemptuous pity
2: marked by sorrow or melancholy : SAD
3: pitifully inferior or inadequate
the restaurant's pathetic service
4: ABSURD, LAUGHABLE
a pathetic costume
Examples of pathetic in a Sentence

— Lewis H. Lapham, Harper's, March 1992

— Edith Wharton, The Age of Innocence, 1920
The blind, old dog was a pathetic sight.
