ArchivesRe: Thanks, Gristle!
in reply to a message by Chrisell
'Benefit of the doubt' doesn't appear in your dictionary, does it?
When I said 'you conceded my point', I meant to clarify that my point merely was that it is not 'conventional'. Do you blame me for wishing to clarify my position?
And I used the word 'point' in the sense of 'the essential or most important part of a discourse', not 'a unit of count in scoring in a game', as you seem to suggest.

If you always behaved in a courteous and professional manner towards those whom you disagree with, I would cheerfully and willingly give you the "benefit of the doubt" as I do to all other members of this forum.
As you are regularly brusque to the point of rudeness and are often downright insulting ("Gristle" being a case in point - charming, that) you have well and truly used up my supply of good-will towards you.
If you want to be be treated nicely, quit being nasty. Simple as that.
