Witless scratches at the door. Will his people let him out into the yard?
me:
Sacky's second hobby is stealing people's doormats so their visitors can't
wipe off traces of Witless when they go inside.
[This joke was not pre-approved by Stereophile.]
JA:
Your lacking integrity.
Witless:
As usual, the best Atkinson can do to demonstrate his own integrity is
to prove he has none.
Thus Scottie Witlessmongrel infers that JA's comment somehow bears on the
latter's own integrity. Let's see if the mutt's eckthpluhnashun can reveal why
he barked that claim.
Scooter, we've been after you for years to tell us what YOU mean by
'integrity'. All we know for sure is that meaning you imagine has nothing in
common with the actual human meaning of the word. Your inane comment above
reinforces that viewpoint because nothing about JA's three little words has
any bearing on human-defined integrity.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/integrity
: firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values
That is indeed the primary human definition of the word. The problem to which
I referred, however, is not whether you are capable of copy-pasting a
dictionary definition; the problem is your own, personal lack of
comprehension. You have leveled the accusation that various RAOers "lack
integrity" dozens of times, but in not one single case have you been able to
explain why you made the accusation. That is also the case with JA's tiny
little jab above: All he did was echo a very common bit of mockery that is
frequently directed at you. Atkinson has never claimed that mocking fools is
immoral or otherwise unseemly for him (or other Normals) to do. In fact,
mocking of fools is one of the most common social releases in all but the most
formal settings. (One exception is a court of law.)
So in the view of humans who use the word "integrity" in its human sense,
John's comment does not bear on his own integrity in any way. Too bad you're
too ****ed in the head to understand that.
I think you should be able to figure it out from here, but given your
lack of integrity, i.e., any adherence to any code of moral values, I
have my doubts.
You're babbling incoherently. Par for the course. Go chase a mail truck.
