I introduced an anecdote to evidence a specific argument, but made no general conclusions based on it.

Oh my Grumbler.  You used an anecdote to try to show that my assertion was incorrect.  Then you got all butt hurt at the notion that you didnt make much money in whatever it is you did in the "private sector".

If you are going to attack someone you better make sure you didnt commit the same sin first.

Oh, my cranKy CaNuck.  You made a false sweeping generalization, which I demolished with an example from my own experience (aka an anecdote).  Then, you got all butthurt because you are still in the rat race and I can afford to abandon it because I made enough in the "private sector" to afford to shift to another, completely agreeable job in the "private sector."  I love my job.  I look forward to it every day, and I savor every hour of every day i am on the job (I will grant that I spend about three hours a month in meetings that are not so enjoyable).  Can you honestly say the same?

Physician, heal thyself.  I made no generalizations based on anecdotes.  I have made no historical claims based on what I've read in novels.  Can you honestly say the same?

Poor Grumbler.  I bet in his own mind he thinks people regard him as clever and full of useful points of view.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I do. He is one of the most eloquent insulters on this board. Always  :thumbsup: very entertaining.

Meh, the majority of his insults boil down to, "I know you are but what am I".

Shall I de-construct if for you or do I make the erroneous assumption that you're capable of understanding what you did wasn't actually clever or amusing?  :hmm:

Only fair, Grumbler did invent the tiger trap.
