The post i commented on i read multiple times. I'm not an idiot, i couldn't make sense of it. If you are the bridge of intellectualism between he and i, feel free to translate. If the point your trying to make, your unable to convey to a relatively bright fellow, you probably don't have one and i'm calling bullshit...bullshit disguised in pseudo-intellectualism. And wouldn't you know, this i s a prime example...

"Definitions of words is clearly important to ensure that there is some collective foundation to a discussion."

What the heck are you trying to say.....words mean things? is that all. By the way, it would be "Definitions of words ARE clearly important". You wrote 17 words to make a point that could have been said in three. "Collective foundation to a discussion"???

Yes words means things, i agree. So does articulation. Work on it. Your argument, if you indeed have one, would travel just a bit further.
