Hmmm. I saw that, and I don't remember it being that dark.

Andreas, attacking in the only way he knows how - irrelevancy.

Eric Stevens
It's not irrelevant. Check your spelling.

Sandman
My spelling *is* irrelevant to the point I was making. Spelling flames is very common for trolls. It's what you guys resort to when you can't argue the point. Semantics, spelling, grammar, all of that.

Not really true. The typo of "armsand" is irrelevant, but when the typo is a different word with a completely different meaning, it becomes very relevant.

It was a better put-down than your usual schoolboy taunts, but you spoiled it with your carelessness. In your defense of the error, you are mounted on a pretend horse.

Your hypocrisy is noted. Eric wrote that semantics are not about words to make the point that semantics are about *more* than just word definitions. You won't let him off the hook for misstating his point, but you want to wriggle off the hook for your misstatement by saying that mistakes are irrelevant.

And, BTW, it might be resorting to a flame, but "flames is" is another clunker. Not a good thing for someone who calls others illiterate.
