Well, honestly when a post is overly scholarly, I will naturally glaze over it like a glazed donut because I am not a scholar. I am just your average ordinary friendly neighborhood simple guy. Many of the apostles were simple and average guys.
His long-explanation was written at a 7.3 grade level. (Anyone who has been in seventh grade for roughly three months can read it.)
The article you copied and pasted is written at a 12.6 grade level. (Anyone who has finished their first semester of college can read it.)
Stop with the excuses. If you understand what you copied and pasted, you can certainly understand what OldHermit wrote. I admit, both of you give me headaches when trying to understand what you post, but that just means it takes effort to understand it. (I'm rusty, old, and, darn if I haven't, quite literally, lost some of my thinking abilities.)
If you're willing to debate someone, put in the effort and debate. If you're not, don't start. OldHermit didn't copy and paste, (or maybe he did, but he copied and pasted something he wrote.) He put in the effort. You owe him that much, or don't play along!
BUT, whatever you do, stop with the excuses.
I get you're not scholarly. Most of us aren't, and that's no sin. BUT you are not "ordinary," "friendly," nor "simple." (I also give you that you are a guy. Neighborhood? Meh. Depends on which neighborhood, but not likely any of us are from the exact same neighborhood.)
