- Now, Victor, are you trying to tell us that you don't understand the difference
- between a television commercial (which this thread is about) and a scientific
- report? Or are you once again trying to excuse the perfidies of GreenHype by
- feigning stupidity?
-
- Jeremy Whitlock described TELEVISION COMMERCIAL from GreenHype. I pointed out
- the shortcomings of that commercial, as described by Jeremy. You take me to
- task for not reading the "report." Well, shit-for-brains, the subject under
- discussion was a television commercial. Which is more deplorable: My
- assumption that GreenHype used their standard tactics, or you willful ignorance
- of the topic under discussion? C'mon, Victor, the sort of ideologically-based
- blindness you're exhibiting in this thread is undermining whatever credibility
- you might still have retained. Now, are you trying to tell us that GreenHype
- expects all, or most, or even a significant percentage of the viewers of that
- commercial to look at the "report" allegedly associated with the commercial?
-
- No, Yackadamn, GreenHype is expecting the viewers to take their word on faith.
- It's GreenHype's intellectually dishonest approach in their press releases and
- their commercials to which I'm objecting. And, in this post, I'm also
- objecting to your willful stupidity, your intellectual dishonesty, or your
- naivetĪ, whichever one's applicable (though my impression is that it's your
- overwhelming intellectual dishonesty, tovarisch, which causes you to bray as
- you do).
-
- Now, shit-for-brains, would you care to address the subject at hand? Or is
- doing so risking your ideological purity?
