LOL, you don't understand jews at all. Its not the WORDS, its the

IDEAS.
Being able to express ideas and debate ideas is key - whether you can

write
"properly" isn't. Its all about verbal debate, not about the written

word.
We jews love to argue. Thus, my love of debating you and others on

usenet.
And I do so in a conversational manner - as if we were speaking. Again,

its
part of my heritage.


Those ideas would not even exist had they not been written down in words

and
then loving preserved by the Jews as their sacred text. Those peoples with
nothing but an oral tradition not only soon disappear from history, but

they
are not even known except for their archeological artifacts. Of course

words
represent ideas, but the words are inseparable from the ideas. It is not
even possible to think without words.


Whats that got to do with the price of asparagus in Minneapolis?

Traditionally, jewish religious education was all about ARGUING VERBALLY
about the torah. Its as simple as that. Its not about writing. Its about
verbal debate.


Conversation is not writing. They are two different things entirely. You

are
writing on Usenet, you are not conversing.
[...]


No...YOU are writing. I am conversing.

I am well respected in this newgroup - far better respected than you

are.
Professionally, I write well, and am well respected by my peers for it.

I
stand just fine, despite preferring to write newsgroup conversation like
real human interaction.


You know there is at least one person on this group who does not think

much
of you because of your contempt for the written word. There are no doubt
many others here who do not think much of you for this reason also. There
are always costs exacted for defying convention. Those who do not know
better can be excused. Those who know better can never be excused.


Actually, I think its you who is defying convention. Most usenet denizens
recognize this as a casual discussion, not a literary society.


I do not see any relationship between Usenet and real human interaction.

We
are essentially writing letters to one another which the whole world can
read and get in on. It simply boggles my mind that you cannot realize this
and act accordingly (write better). I believe your family of scholars

would
be ashamed of you if they knew you were carrying on in this disgraceful
manner (not writing better).



LOL, and what would yours think about you trying to be "boss of the
internet"? Your imaginary standards aren't reality.
