It appears that there are several arrogant bastards onBoard as well as a few arrogant bitches. Leave it alone already.

Mmm, rhetoric is right up my alley... it sounds to me like some kind of prolepsic paralipsis (pardon the alliteration).
thanks for the collective heads up!! i love questions like these!

everyone is supposed to know we are *actually talking about Person K ... the subject can't protest without admitting he's a deranged nutter for imagining such behaviour
Of course, all the subject need do is wait until it becomes obvious to all that Person A is engaging in such behavior. I'd think most people are smart enough to draw their own conclusions.

can't get no respect
er, sorry Helen! Do you know what this term of referring indirectly to a humorless git is then? ~ hey, the last thing I would want to do is insult anyone unintentionally.
edit: sorry caradea, I hadn't seen your post properly before replying to Helen. Where did you git that information from?

I'd think most people are smart enough to draw their own conclusions.... and most of us have. Not that I'd dare speak for anyone else, but.

Where did you git that information i never reveal my sources but since you asked nicely, here's where i came up with that: prolepsis: The anticipation and answering of an objection or argument before one's opponent has put it forward. {AHD} paralipsis: rhetorical device of emphasizing something by omitting it or mentioning it only cursorily. (DODW) Thus, the AB's defensive arguments are obviated by the fact that in order to defend himself he would first have to identify himself as the AB ~ effectively requesting a directed verdict against himself (pardon the legal terminology).

not-winkAh, to wink or not to wink, that is the question! Or 'out of the question' if you're Dr. Bill or Faldage!
