About

The author of this blog views attribution as irrelevant.  What matters is Argument.

This being said, and cognizant of the requirement that an author at least indicate he has some familiarity with that about which he writes, the author offers the follow biographical information in a show of feigned sensitivity to the needs of certain visitors:

The author sometimes speaks in the third person in the hope that people will think him truly insane and therefore leave him alone.

The author is a hicksticker, steel worker and heavy-equipment operator who regularly curses in Latin.

The author is a former teacher at a prestigious Great Books College.

The author remembers all the letters of the English, Latin and Greek alphabets.

The author can smell a sophism a mile away.

Upon smelling a sophism the author snarls.

For this reason the author’s adversaries – in an attempt to shame him [failed] and ostracize him [successful] and thereby discomfort him [failed], denominated him Maddog, e.g., Canis Insanus.

The author immediately embraced the name to himself if only in the vain hope that such a name would keep people away.  (The author is not a people person.)

The author failed.  People still speak to him.

The author is now seeking revenge by way of this blog.
