[MD] now it comes

Your entire bloviated, smoke-filled, what-my-daughter-thinks excuse boils down 
to, "I made a mistake." I leave it to the jury to judge your credibility.

By all means let's not be bogged down by standards. Let's not bother if Junior
says 2 + 2 = 22 or writes without punctuation, but give him an A for
creativity.

See, its this type of ridiculous dishonesty that really makes you look like a
fool. Let's see, if my child saw a misprint in a paper that went "2 # 2 = 4",
and she was able to figure out from the context that "#" should have been "+",
yes, I'd say that makes her MUCH SMARTER than the idiot who writes the paper
demanding a retraction because "#" is a grammatical error and he can't figure
out what the equation means.

And if by "creativity", you mean that my daughter is able to look past
grammatical mistakes and understand meaning in context, rather than break down
like a robot because an author misused punctuation, then by all means, she gets
an A. 

[Platt]
Personally I'd be ashamed to ask a juvenile to justify my lying. 

[Arlo]
I asked her about this, and she said "this guy is a jackass". Since I had
agreed you remark on my grammatical mistake (double instead of single quotes),
and was pointing out that even a kid could understand that in context that was
obviously a parody, this type of talk-radio bombast really paints you quite
the.. jackass. 

[Platt]
This wasn't the first time you have used quotes to falsely report what I said.
Then you preach about intellectual honesty. Pathetic. 

[Arlo]
Right, and you can show me ANY instance, a single ONE, where its not obviously
a parody to ANYONE who reads it? ONE? Go ahead, I'll wait... 

I admit, I'm a bit lazy typing emails, its a blended discourse genre to me, and
I don't sweat "single versus double quotes" when the context obviously shouts
PARODY!.

But since such a thing boggles your hardwired brain, and since I am dealing
with someone with a lower literacy than my teenage daughter, I'll be sure as to
follow strict grammar rules when talking to you, Platt, so your little brain
doesn't explode...

Kudos, though, for the inane distortions. "Jackass", indeed.
