"Grass Not So Green on the other side"
...is relative to...
"Grass Is Greener on the other side
Sorry to be pedantic, but this is the kind of incorrect wording that I've been referring to, the reason for misunderstanding. (And I've been an editor for close to 15 years so I know what I'm talking about.)
That's one weird pair of glasses you look out at the world through.
I don't think you do know what you are talking about. Lets see, you mounted an attack on me
and then when i respond you not only accuse me of being
disingenuous but say that any further defense that I might
make is disingenuous. After a bit more back and forth
you accuse me of distancing myself from the title of the topic
but not explain how you come to that conclusion. Then you
try to make out that *I* am prolonging it. Marks out of ten
for trying to shift ground - 9.
The greeness of the grass in the title should be seen as being
relative to the saying. You claim that I meant that
the grass was LESS GREEN on the MOS/PEG side than
the AOS/A1 side.
I have just pointed out to you, with teeth gritted it has to be
said that the measurement of GREEN-NESS is RELATIVE
to the SAYING ( that is is GREENER ).
Heres the logic for you:
A is said to be greater than B ( Grass is greener on the other side )
A>B
Someone sayes that A is not so green as it was ( Grass not so green on the other side )
A--
Does not break the logic statement:
A>B
What you want me to have said, for your point of view to
be valid, justified or even logically correct would be:
Grass not green on the other side
OR
Grass on other side not so green as this one
The measurement of greenness is, as I said before, measured
RELATIVE to the fact that it was seen as greener (A>B) NOT relative
to the other side ( B => A
You may or may not be an editor, you could claim whatever
your like but firstly this is not an article for a national newspaper
and secondly you could be the editor of your local parish
mag and thirdly you could basically be a pretty crap editor. It has
no bearing on the subject at hand.
If you
want a bitch fight, find someone smaller than you bud.
This is just too sad and ironic to respond to.
There is nothing ironic or sad about it.
You tried to pick a fight
with me over nothing, you have tried to continue that
against the odds, you haven't gained an inch. You are clearly
( despite your own claims ) a frustrated man and there
are easier ( and more valid ) targets out there that you could
be spending your time with.
It has now come down, according to you, to a misunderstanding. This
means that either I miscommunicated ( I don't think so ) or you
misunderstood what was being communicated ( I don't think you
do now, I think you misunderstood before and fired off a salvo
when you shouldn't and are now backpeddling ).
What do you want me to do next? Go through your posts
in this thread and show exactly how I come to that
conclusion? Or maybe you want to start reading what
you put before to try and regain some level of consistency?
Where have we come to now? I think you are a
drowning man at the far end of a flame war. I'm sure
you have an equally negative opinion of me ( in fact
your obnoxious first post puts me in no doubt ).
I no longer understand what point you are trying to
prove, and Im not sure that you do either.
Now before this degenerates further how about we do everyone
a favour and take it to email?
