Rick, did you 'like' Indigo's post because you appreciate the way he confuses "common" nouns with the "proper" variety? Or a more passive-aggressive reason?
Over to me, then?
You mean to try my hand at deflection?! Or at the very least a furtive, diversionary tactic & I must contend the accusation of pedantry on the back of your reply to my playful first post - this is patently ironic.
Firstly, I only addressed your point that "if one enjoys an activity, one has failed to grind" - evidently, I have comprehensively rebutted your assertion that this is irrefutable using the salient qualifying adverb. Read my post more slowly so that your brain can catch up...then you might not make similarly irrelevant replies that are liked by retards.
Secondly, thanks for demonstrating your browser proficiency & ability to regurgitate platitudinous ironic arguments btw; I actually studied PPE at uni hence I'm fully aware of Cicero's body of work although I would not claim to have it committed to memory in Latin & as such, like you (hehe), I had to Google the cited examples of said dead language.
Funnily enough I have studied sadomasochism in the past - strictly for edification purposes, you understand - specifically research in relation to debates on consent/violence & more recently, the religious aspects: the relationship in theism of being forced to love a being one also fears. But I digress...again!
I think it is time to end this trivial contretemps for I fear one of us probably has a pathological need to have the final word...as we veer evermore into the choppy & murky waters of semantics taking the thread wildly off course once more.
Either that or we'll end up like these guys....

& Rick6549? An addendum - You habitually rep Stigbob & Factabulous, ergo I have news for you..."real-world credibility blown!" I do enjoy your petty dogmatic & clique-y allegiances though...they are most amusing.
Just so you understand, one more time, affirmation from this dork-infested gathering means zero-zilch-nada-zip to me, geddit now?!
Well... now I just simply must ask... around 38 years ago, were you a MENSA student? If so, were you punched quite squarely in the mouth by another MENSA student who had reached the limit of his tolerance for your posturing and left bleeding on the floor, with wet pants? If so, then I know you, and I'm the underclassman who threw that punch. Hope you're doing well, though clearly you did not learn the lesson of the day.
I passed this back merely because I've enjoyed a bit of intellectual tet-a-tet, as it tends to be lacking around these parts. However, I would point out that your efforts to illustrate my pendanticism have reached new heights of the pedantic on your part. I do, however, find some intriguing notions in your study of theological sadomasochim, and find the concept to be intriguing, but, as you have noted, this is not the time nor place for such studies.
The last word is yours, if you like, unless you've something warranting further commentary to offer.
