Now you are just being ridiculous, Greg, because in the context of what I was saying, it was appropriate, and there was really no other way to put it. I'll spell it out for you, since apparently that is necessary.
It's true that in the past I have objected when someone like Doyle said something like, "Notice that Lovelady is reaching over with arm. etc." That I felt was uncalled for when we were, in fact, debating the issue. He should have made his point in reference to the Doorman without feeling the need to remind everyone that he vouched for Lovelady. I also made the point that if I had done the same thing- at similar times saying Oswald did this, and Oswald did that- it would have added unnecessary confusion to the discussion. And so, I refrained from doing that, and I asked him not to do it.
But, in my last post to you, I was not discussing a fine point about the Doorman, rather, I was making a general, conclusive, finishing statement that encompassed my thesis as concisely and succinctly as possible. That's what I was trying to do. And therefore, it was appropriate- in that context.
Now Greg: you drop the attitude. Drop it now. Ralph
