I have no problem condemning Maher for some of his language.

45. One would have to be what you call "clueless" to believe that

For one thing, the word "clueless" is slang. If you use the word, you are talking in slang. For another, as if more evidence of your defamation is needed, when you aimed that word at me you included reference to your knowledge of my posting history as your evidence of depreciating my opinion. This is clearly derogatory and would again be the textbook example of such.

So unless we are speaking in something other than English, the word you used was slang, and it was used in the derogatory. So the case for it being a personal attack is pretty much round peg, round hole kinda stuff. So much so that I'm not going to continue to argue this point. I can't change your belief if you refuse to be objective and acknowledge facts as factual.

This is the last I have to say on this subject as I've put this one to bed. Feel free to have the last word as I'm sure such things are of great importance to you.

Good day.
