::Cletus walks by the posts and begins to chuckles as he comes opon the overlord's message, but still manages to write a note::
Well, seems I have seen the pinnacle of being low and dirty...attacking a mere kid Dal? Come now. I would expect better of you. I mean, you are our Overlord, but how can one be respected who cuts down mere children. One just trying to help an unfortunate man out. A man not as privilaged as you or I were when we were but children. Its just a shame that a boy's grammar should be attacked just because he had a hand in something you didn't
like.
Just the way I see it,

Cletus,
Had I known it was a "mere kid," I assure you I would not have chosen the words that I did. Apparently you wish to misconstrue this as "the pinnacle of being low and dirty," in effort to further attack me. Did you fail to realize that I did not consciously attack a child, and apologized most profusely as soon as I was informed of what I had done. Or are you simply ignoring the obvious reality of the situation in order to have further propagandous
insults to hurl at me? Please, do let me know which of these was your intentions so I know whether you are entirely ignorant or a blatant liar.
sincerely,
Lord Dalamar Ar'Daumon

>>Pleas to pity rarely strengthen an argument that was badly reasoned and unstable to begin with.<<
Good for Avery that his argmument was reasonably well thought out and fairly accurate on several counts then. And I don't remember any pleas for pity. I remember reading what appeared to be anger. Interesting how we seemed to read it so differently. Hmmmm. Then again, in general, everyone who disagrees with you has always seemed to be 'illogical', 'dishonorable', or 'a liar' in your words. Now someone who is angry is appealing to pity? Very
strange.

Dal,
Well, at the time I wrote what I did, you had not retracted what you had previously stated. But I still don't think it right to attack the man for his grammar even if he wrote it himself.
As for me being entirely ignorant or a blatant liar, I think I'll pick the first one of the two...I think I'll be a blatant ignorant, or was I not allowed to pick what I am going to be when I grow up?

Excellent point, Cletus.
I am glad though, that illiteracy isn't the same as idiocy. We can separate Chris, who hasn't been privileged to a formal education, from Morgan and Dal, who have been, but they lack mental efficiency.
But what do I know? I'm a little man with a little sword.

Var, simply put, a remark like this is uncalled for. If you have a problem with Dalamar, issue challenge! If you have a problem with Morgan, resign your ring, get the peer wins, and issue her a challenge! I may not agree with what they choose to say to you or Avery, but you are every bit as out of line. I seriously think, if you are so angry at Dalamar, you should challenge him.
I would even go so far as to say, under the current circumstances, if you do NOT challenge Dalamar after what you just said about him, someone should challenge you! Don't throw stones if you don't have any.

Baron Var,
<< We can separate Chris, who hasn't been privileged to a formal education, from Morgan and Dal, who have been, but they lack mental efficiency.>>
You'll forgive me if I request specific references as to my lack of "mental efficiency." Perhaps in the future you'll recognize that simply because you do not like what I have to say does not make me mentally inefficient. Rest assured that if I feel compelled to call you "mentally inefficient" in the future, I shall be more than happy to follow that statement up with numerous proofs. Also, I suggest you look to Percival's post if you wish to know
what course of action you should take if you have anything left to say to me. After all, your words are clearly unsuccessful, perhaps your "little sword" would be more so. Then again, I do not think anybody believes you have the guts to find out. I most definitely do not.
sincerely,

When you sling a personal insult directlty at the Overlord, you had best be willing to back it up. This is just my opinion, but I consider it a very valid one.

First you say, "in general," then you say "everyone." Sweeping generalization. I am amused to see you arguing at your usual level of skill: very poor.
Your insights, while humorous, are ignorant, as usual. It is fortunate you do not have a career that requires you to be intuitive; you would be as destitute monetarily as you are intellectually. Ah, and you thought having a dictionary nearby would make people think you were intellectually capable. I see through your little charade.
Perhaps when you return for some secondary eduction while in your advanced years and to complement your many centuries of experience, you will find that appeals to pity in argumentative writing fall under the category of Fallacious Reasoning, Type: Emotional Appeal. If you must try to match wits with me, please have the common sense to know what you are talking about.
"And I don't remember any pleas for pity. I remember reading what appeared to be anger."
I assure you that a person will make any sort of fallacious emotional appeal when angry. Assure me that you are not so stupid as to think a person has to only feel sadness when telling a sob story (that is another way of describing an appeal/plea to pity, in case your feeble brain is unable to intuit that, it might not be in your dictionary).
When will you get enough? Time and time again you come after me like some dysfunctional halfwit looking for the usual kick to the head. How many times do I have to tell you just how foolish I think you and your points are before it sinks in?
