Re: Settling an Argument - Assembly *IS* a Language, Right?

in sci.lang.

[Christopher Culver replied] Your reply to Mr Daniels didn't absolve
you, for just because you personally enjoyed Pei's work doesn't make it
appropriate to bring him up in a respectable discussion here.


Whether I enjoyed Pei's work is irrelevant. I was introduced to the
idea I was discussing through reading Pei. I was introduced to the
subsequent idea I was discussing through reading McWhorter. Frankly, I
would consider it creepy--a form of dishonesty through inaction--to
have failed to mention their names.
