This is pointless.
One presents a strawman, the other floats the absurdity that the parents that turn out the vast majority of healthy kids are worse than the parents whose claim to fame is thinking their kid is so horrible he needs to be sent away to a fixit shop.
The Anon with the strawman obviously lacks reading comprehension to look at a post that says I'm a housewife and a writer and then conclude I don't have a job. My job is that I write. Like a lot of other authors, I work from home.
Right now, I'm getting to some of the really fun action sequences leading up to the finish in the latest book, so I'm probably not going to be around much for awhile. Thread's gotten boring, work's getting especially neat.
See the rest of you folks later.
Who and Anon, I guess you guys get the last word, because the last argument stated by each of you is just so inane that there's nothing I can say to it that both discusses it on its merits and at the same time avoids saying uncomplimentary and true things about your respective abilities to engage in reasoned debate.
There once was a user who called the helpdesk because his computer wouldn't boot, had the tech support guy tell him to check the cables at the back of the box and make sure they were all fully plugged in. The user said he couldn't see back there because it was dark. Then the tech support guy asked why it was dark. Turns out the user's power was off.
What do you say to something like that? There's nothing truthful you can say that isn't just awful.
This discussion has gotten to that level--it's that bad. The thread about Swift River has gone dormant, and Alex is out of SCL. Rather than say some really cold, true stuff to these two, it's a good time for me to walk away for awhile.
The rest of you guys have the issues well in hand. :smile: Laters.
