Trying to understand Liberals

[sirs]

He's dead on, pun intended, on the analogy

[Xavier_Onassis]

A pun is a play on words.

There is no pun.

[sirs]

For a "language" professor, you apparently need to stick to spanish, as your grasp of english and puns is seriously deficient, apparently

[Xavier_Onassis]

Where is the pun?

There is no pun.

[sirs]

As I said, the English language is apparently not your strong suit.  Best stick with Spanish

[Xavier_Onassis]

Where is the pun?

I bet you can't find it, as it is not there.

I doubt that you even know what a pun actually is.

Just to be clear, would that be a deflection?

[Xavier_Onassis]

I am thinking the words "stupid sirs remark" fits better. There is no pun. A pun requires a word with two meanings, and there is none.

[BT]

If there is a pun, he should point it out instead of personalizing the exchange with silly aspersions to your former profession. I don't see how that enlightens anyone.

Nope...but apparently you're not as sharp as I really thought you were, or your just trying to defend Xo, for the sake of defending Xo.  Dead, as in aborted child....dead on as in accurate.  Gads   

[sirs]

Ya know, I'm not sure what is more disconcerting......that a language professor couldn't grasp the "dead" pun, or that Bt couldn't     

[BT]

I suspected dead was the word you were playing on, so you were once again wrong in your inference, so no need to be disconcerted, i was just curious why you couldn't seem to bring yourself to just point it out to xo, as adverse as you are to deflection.

[sirs]

No, I wasn't wrong, if you demonstrated that you appeared to not get it either.  What you could have done is to enlighten Xo as to what you believed the pun to be about, but instead you played the ignorant roll in this little tangential thread to nowhere.  Apparently instead wanting to take erroneous stabs at some form of deflection, on my part.  So, you were wrong once again. 

As far as pointing it out to xo, it was so transparent as to what the pun was, I really didn't think it needed an arrow.   For a 7 year old who has no clue as to what an analogy is, or a pun, yea, I could see the need for pointing it out.  But an adult?  And a language professor on top of that?? 

Couldn't help but also notice how in your effort to take pot shots at me, Xo's references to my supposed stupidity, gets a complete pass on your part.  Talk about perpetuating & enabling unenlightenment.

Appears to "speak volumes"

[BT]

No, I wasn't wrong, if you demonstrated that you appeared to not get it either.

Did i demonstrate that? If so where?

What you could have done is to enlighten Xo as to what you believed the pun to be about, but instead you played the ignorant roll in this little tangential thread to nowhere.

No. I asked if you were deflecting his question.

Just to be clear, would that be a deflection?

See right there.

As far as pointing it out to xo, it was so transparent as to what the pun was, I really didn't think it needed an arrow.

But yet he asked, and you deflected, choosing instead to be aghast that a bilingual professor of the language arts could be so ignorant as to not recognize a pun if he saw one.

Perhaps now that he knows for sure what would you were punning he can agree or disagree that it is indeed a proper pun.

Me i was more curious about the need to deflect.
