Wow. Another big belch of gas in the middle of what could have been an adequate sentence. "In the relation of a common defense"? "They"?

Are YOU focused here, Wayne?

I noted that the author of the article made statements about hunting in general. Sure...he started his own gas attack by citing the sub-category of hunters called "trophy hunters". That doesn't mean the "focus" of the article was trophy hunters...and it certainly doesn't mean that hunting in general was an irrelvancy.

Yeah yeah...we've seen your pointing trick. And I once saw a horse that could do math problems by stamping with his hoof.

I suppose if the author had wrote "Tennis players argue that hunting is a natural instinct of man"...anything except batting a ball back and forth across a net would have been irrelevant.

What has this to do with anything? Are you trying to imply someone stated a post was irrelevant? Or are you just being your "witty" self and going off on yet another illogical tangent?

Sorry I forgot your lack of retention of context. We were discussing the statement made by trophy hunters (remember that?) and when I said "they" it was in relation to those very same trophy hunters. The "common defense" was the statement you posted earlier (remember that?) where it stated the trophy hunters used the instinct reference to defend their (trophy hunters again don't want you getting lost again) sport.



More so than you appear to be. Having to repeat oneself over an over again because you are too ignorant or wish to play that you are too ignorant to follow the context is tiresome though.



So the number of times trophy hunting/hunters was mentioned has nothing to do with focus of the article but what RF believes does make it so? My what an over inflated ego you must have that you can make such determinations for the mindsets of others regardless of the evidence in hand.

Why was there such a problem with the Sierra club sponsoring a trophy hunt as a prize then? Why was there such a problem with the trophy pictures being posted? Trophy hunting was a big problem in the article and was significantly related to the focus, which was not hunting as Donnie claimed. The primary focus was the problem with the Sierra Club in relation to their position on trophy hunting and the apparent oxymoron in the mind of the author, which is why few of the posts were related to that focus.

Still upset because the horse was better at counting than you were perhaps?

What does a horse beating you in counting have to do with the definition of "focus" that you also did not seem to know?

Why would you assume that RF was upset that a horse could stamp out a math answer or that the horse was more accurate Wayne. I tought you were trying to erase such assumptions from the board. RF didn't even indicate the answers were correct by human standards BUT you are ASSUMING they were. .

The relevancy is that the AUTHOR put those words in the mouth of trophy hunters not that all of the hunters or even trophy hunters stated those purposes themselves. That isn't a hard point to grasp Wayne.

Asking a question is not making an assumption, but it is asking for clarification. Since it seemed to be a significant event for RF and given the history it could be a reason. What does "correct by human standards" mean in relation to counting? Are you trying to say the animals have a different base numeral system?

Except you completed you assumption and quatified it with perhaps. The point being you imade the structure appear as RF lost to the horse and that is what upset him perhaps. Not a hard thing to admitt you assume that nobdy would notice that slight of words Wayne,we being so stupid and all.

So you are saying this is NOT the common defense for trophy hunters then? That would be the common usage for the phrase "putting words in the mouth of" instead of claiming it was an absolute where all hunters or even all trophy hunters are included or excluded. It is hard to grasp how severely this statement can be twisted in order to make it seem to be something different than what it was .. a statement of the general defense.

I do thin k they have a different standard of coun ting then humans Wayne. I think they say," I will have an ear of corn, and now i will have another , and now another ,and now an other." Are you keeping up Wayne???.

The use of "perhaps" would not 'complete an assumption' nor would it be 'quatified' ... I am not sure what that even is supposed to mean. I did ask the question, but the level of stupidity is your own construct as I assumed nothing.

No, it does not make any sense at this point. You believe horses count but do not keep that count? Eating more is not generally considered to be counting, unless you also believe there is some intelligent planning in that eating process too. That seems to be an oxymoron in the making.

Or more importantly as implied by Watson, a point that supports a straw man fallacy that he is building.
