RE: Plato's Rhetoric

I wouldn't have done this under other circumstances, but you actually asked us to.

<Andrew Plato wrote: "It is a personal judgment of a individual based on erroneous information.">

Don't you mean: ".......AN individual......." ?

<Andrew Plato wrote: "Does that mean all you STC members are a losers and must die.">

Don't you mean: ".....are [delete "a"] losers and must die[?]" ?

<Andrew Plato wrote: "I have thick and can stand people calling me names.">

Don't you mean: "I have thick skin......." ?

<Andrew Plato wrote: ".......William Renquist.......">

Don't you mean: ".......William Rehnquist......." ?

There are countless other errors, as well.  

I don't hate you.  I don't know you.  I don't know anything about you as a person.  Sometimes, albeit rarely, I actually agree with you (e.g., regarding Scalia, et al.).  But it takes away from what you are saying if you don't write it correctly, at least for me.

Thank you for listening (read: reading), apologies to those who don't care one way or another, and back to our regularly scheduled programming.......
