The whole problem with this series of threads is that you keep [lying]
I do not.
A ``safe assumption'' is in fact another word for a ``fact''. All other
assumptions are mere suppositions pulled from thin air (or, in worse
cases, from someone's ass: hence ass-umption).
This vulgarity is not helping your case, or your credibility. I do not
understand why several of you are apparently incapable of disagreeing
with someone in a civil fashion, without resort to name-calling or
expletives.
Series Expansion cannot tell the difference between a fact, and something
he pulled from his ass.
This is incorrect.
When experienced lisp programmers [call me names], you then persist in
trying to defend
As any rational person would.
Not really. The above is the behavior of the Seamus MacRae identity.
Why do you refer to people named X as "the X identity"? Normal human
beings will simply use the name X.
This one works slightly differently.
Please don't tell me you are some sort of paranoid or delusional
psychotic who believes all the other people in the world are
"identities" of some single master entity constantly plotting against
you?
Because I don't think we have a cure for that one yet.
It accepts those facts, but then it [etc.]
I am a human being, not some pod person from outer space. Please refer
to me as "he".
The game plan is obvious: treat the debate as a game of chess, in which
the only information content is the current configuration of the board,
your color, whose turn it is, and the set of legal moves.
Is that what you're doing? It explains a few things, though it also
leaves much still mysterious.
In making your next move, heuristics is fair game. Sacrificing truth
here and there is like losing a pawn.
That would explain why you and Thomas show a penchant for lying,
especially about me.
The name Series Expansion, in fact, is deliberately chosen to represent this
behavior.
No, it is not. How could I possibly have anticipated your behavior
when I first created the account, years ago? I'd never heard of people
behaving like you do at that time.
These tiresome personal attacks do not constitute a rational argument
in favor of either Lisp or Java, Kaz.
How about ``Seamus Macrae''?
How about him? I don't see that he's at all relevant here.
The given name portion is cleearly a deliberate farce, since the name
means ``modest'' or ``bashful''. MacRae is probably a play on the word
macro (another reference to expansion, note).
Teleology now? By what mechanism are you proposing that his parents,
however many decades ago, would have anticipated this turn of events
and given him a name that resembles "macro"? Or rather, his ancestors
perhaps thousands of years back, whenever the MacRae clan got its
start in the mists of Ireland or Scotland or wherever it is that
MacRaes come from.
Doctor Who's TARDIS?
Gimme a break.
Why? He isn't here, he isn't bothering you, why attack him like that?
Your behavior is truly baffling. It will take a major research efforts
by the world's top psychiatrists to figure out what makes you tick.
