Quick Aside

I seem to be disagreeing with everyone this week.

Just so everyone knows, it's nothing personal.

As far as disagreeing with me on the grammar issue, I understood your point. You're probably right.

Which means we disagree again.

Ara: no, it isn't.

Nah, he's right. I pretty much hate all of you. Why you won't go away I have no idea...

Casey:

...an argument's not the same as contradiction. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a definite proposition.

No it isn't...

Posted by Casey Tompkins on April 23, 2003 at 2:17 PM


It's always personal, Dean.

Casey:

Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.

Posted by Ara Rubyan on April 23, 2003 at 6:56 PM


Ara:

But it isn't just saying "No it isn't".

Posted by Casey Tompkins on April 23, 2003 at 10:46 PM


Casey:

Yes it is.

Posted by Ara Rubyan on April 24, 2003 at 4:25 AM


Ara:

No it isn't, an argument is an intellectual process... contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.

Casey:

Not at all....(pressing the bell on my desk) Thank you, good morning.

Ara:

That wasn't five minutes!

Posted by Casey Tompkins on April 24, 2003 at 1:27 PM


I'm afraid it was.

A week in which someone doesn't disagree with me is akin to a week lost from my life.

But I was just getting interested.

Posted by Casey Tompkins on April 24, 2003 at 11:46 PM


Arnold:
No it isn't.

Casey:
Sorry the five minutes is up.

Posted by Ara Rubyan on April 25, 2003 at 4:07 PM


That was never five minutes just now!

Posted by Casey Tompkins on April 27, 2003 at 12:31 AM


I'm very sorry, but I told you I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid.

Posted by Ara Rubyan on April 27, 2003 at 3:06 AM


You guys are all a bunch of dorks.
(Don't shoot me, I was just remembering that: Gee, if I'm still arguing about punctuation I must still be a dork; one of the first of FORTY comments on the apostrophe cartoon.) You guys crack me up. I always have a good time here, listening in on your coffee klatschs(pl.).
Face it, we're all dorks. And proud of it.
Are my five minutes up?
