ArchivesRe: What's the deal?
in reply to a message by Magia
I have no problem with being told I'm wrong, but saying it's nonsense... Well... I know the sense of what I say, accuracy (that is whether it has strong factual back-ups or not) and sense (that is whether it follows basic rules of linguistic logic or not) are different things, I've got no problems with being told I'm wrong, but saying it's nonsense... That's different... If I had said something like:
"Disney" means "this ney" 'cause "dis" and "this" err... mmm... well, they sound alike and I want to and "ney" err... mmm.. "ney" means not because when I'm among friends if someone says "ney" you understand he/she is saying "no"
I can get that like illogical and if I had said something like that I would accept being told that I've spoken nonsense... But I've shown that althought possibly mistaken I've never been ilogical.

PD: More on accuracy (y ya no me importa si se rien)
If I make blind guesses which I know might be wrong it's not because I want to confuse or anything like that... Through blind guesses (and I call them blind just because I use more logic, like a blind man with a guiding stick, than knowledge, that is, a person with "full" senses) obscure meanings are usually discovered... Anyway, I put myself in the place of the person who asks and I realize he/she needs a logical answer as soon as possible... Maybe I can't offer much accuracy but I offer a fast logical possibility with the warning "this is a blind guess, more searching still needed" so if he/she never gets the accurate answer he/she can at least enjoy the "premio consuelo" that is, the prize given so the failure is not suffered as much. My posts tend to do this, comfort the searches of the searchers... It's up to Mike Campbell to make the final decision when he sees it's time to move some names from the forum (which are never accurate in themselves) to the database (which, althought pretty accurate) is still debatable... No te enojes conmigo ni me subestimes, sé lo que digo.

Pero si el que se enoja eres tú...
(y ya no me importa si se rien) --> that's the spirit!
No one is underestimating you and of course, no one is mad at you. It's just that in this board, things will get analysed until they don't exist anymore...
