Subject: RE: What Does Valderi, Valdera Mean?
Shame on you Grishka,

I make several valid points on Cassandra's lack of courtesy, etc., none of which you, Grishka, address.

Your response is to attack me argumentum ad hominem instead with your highly erroneous perception of my perceived educational deficiency. This is how you counter a valid argument/position. If you were one of my Rhetoric students, you'd get an UF, for utter failure.

If I am wrong in my judgement of Cassandra, your inappropriate sarcasm renders you another bore, rather than someone who could be right and show me the error of my ways. What a pity. As I tell my lit students, sarcasm, wit, irony should be a thread to weave through an argument/position, not the sole material of one.

Enough of this for now, I'm off to finish Twain's Auto. ciao
