"E-blasts" from BWW — Page 2

Craig, i'm pretty sure i never contradicted any of that. But i do think it's natural that someone INFERS that entering via e-mail submits that e-mail address. Not everyone is checking the privacy statement regularly, or has it memorized. Someone who takes the trouble to correct the difference between inference and implication probably understands that semiotics ("spam" versus "e-mail blasts") can alter meaning. i didn't mention your intelligence superficially or sarcastically. That MMS and i sniped back and forth was argumentative, because it started off being insulting. But that was NOT the tone i tried to take in the exchange with you.

And, to reflect on another point brought up here briefly and zealously reiterated by you, multiple e-mail addresses possibly held by one person means that it MIGHT be possible to have multiple identities on the Board. Perhaps BWW verifies by tracing which PC's post here regardless of addresses given. But if so, that level of sophistication is exactly the kind which makes otherwise innocent contests a bit fraught with suspicion.

I think you mean semantics.

I also think that we've exhausted this conversation and everything else is rhetoric.

---

SEMANTICS: The meaning or the interpretation of a word, sentence, or other language form.

SEMIOTICS: The theory and study of signs and symbols, especially as elements of language or other systems of communication, and comprising semantics, syntactics, and pragmatics.

The "especially" and "other systems of communication" seem to make the latter word more applicable.

But i agree that it's gotten pretty rhetorical. But thinking through something, even if it's exhausting, can be useful in the long run. FLOATIE, i hope you feel better and get more entertainment soon.

TX, I have been reduced to painting my front door a new color at 8:30 on a Friday night. Sigh.

---

It could always be worse. One of my basic philosophies.

---

Well, mine has been two colors of blue and then maroon. Just today. I should mention that I haven't painted the sucker since 1990.

Not that I answered your question, or anything...

I'm just laughing at MMS and TTS' jabbing at each other's identities, when neither one of you will ever come out from behind your mask. lol =) It's like Batman and Superman getting into a similar cat fight!

---

i post here as a fan of bitter and shrill queens whose rants i can only aspire someday to approximate. you know who you are! and you know that i love you more than goo goo clusters.

---

that 'splains a lot, tx! the ryman was the opry in a sense. would that i had had a chance then to see it.

---

it was a lot of fun (white trash) and a lot of talent (trashy and otherwise). They created the clusters to outmarket Moon Pies. And RC Cola had the soft drink commission.

So no one remembers the door-painting subplot?!?!?

---

MMS has a point. He only said he LOOKS like Ruben--not that he is. I guess this current pic is Ruben in drag?? (Sorry, Star!!)

TTS--hope you never minded the personal with me. =)
