Jesus fuck, George, your blog does not contain any knowledge,
and is certainly not knowledge itself. Knowledge is awareness.

Wrong. You resorted to an ad hom attack.

So you decided to act like a smug asshole, rather than deal with the
facts. No surprise there.

Ash’s response was to me, George. I understood him perfectly.
I’d explain what he meant, and how it applies to the discussion
if I thought it would do any good, but you’re invested in trying to
justify your commentary relative to the attacks you perceive.

As Gary Gamble would say, "Jesus fuck, Ashtroll. What's your problem?"

You don't seem very bright, but I used to put you in the midwit category
(90-110 IQ). But a midwit should be capable of recognizing propaganda.

A reasonable person interested in the truth would try to justify his

Of course; all sources of justification are on the table, and none are

I didn't call you a name, George.

I described the nature of petty accusation.

FYI: "petty" is also not a name.

Deflection noted.

Really? Are sentient beings somehow unable to express their knowledge through words?

If it is "believed," it must necessarily be stored within one's mind.

Now, if you're done with your second attempt at deflection, can we proceed to the issue at hand?

Nope. You're not done.

Knowledge is defined by Merriam-Webster as:

Definition of knowledge
1a(1): the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association
(2): acquaintance with or understanding of a science, art, or technique
b(1): the fact or condition of being aware of something
(2): the range of one's information or understanding
answered to the best of my knowledge
c: the circumstance or condition of apprehending truth or fact through reasoning : COGNITION
d: the fact or condition of having information or of being learned
a person of unusual knowledge
2a: the sum of what is known : the body of truth, information, and principles acquired by humankind
barchaic : a branch of learning
3archaic : SEXUAL INTERCOURSE
4obsolete : COGNIZANCE

As you can see, "knowledge" entails "understanding," "cognizance," and "awareness" -- all of which necessitate sentience.

Penny's Plagiarized Pages (PPP) is not sentient, and, consequently, does not possess knowledge.

Can we now proceed to the topic at hand, or do I have to embarrass you further?

You have just post-edited my statement, and in doing so, have altered its meaning. This is yet another example of your disingenuous practice of creating "strawman" arguments.

Here is what I actually said: "You could have searched your blog for the answer, just as I had searched Google for the answer. Had you done so, it wouldn't have made you any more, or any less, knowledgeable than you already are."

As you can see (or, rather, as everyone else can see), I am not saying that it would have been okay for you to search your wiki for the answer. I am saying that pulling information from an outside source has no bearing on the amount of knowledge that you possess.

As a matter of fact, as Gary Gamble would actually say, “Jesus fuck, George.
What’s your problem?” To my knowledge, the question has never been answered.

I stayed out of the thread myself until I noticed it was being used by NancyGene to attack me, and others.

Typical example of the malicious agenda of NancyGene.

I disagree. You specifically accused me of "bitchiness" and, now,
"pettiness."

No 'deflection'. I just explained why I have to change your text --
because you continue to use the wrong word. Correcting your text is
easier than writing, over and over, "You're incorrectly calling PPP a
blog." That would probably lead to deflections, every time.

Not according to you, since the words "aren't in their minds" -- meaning
that can't contain any "knowledge", either. If they can't contain
knowledge, they can't be used to transmit it.

Don't be ridiculous. People can believe things other people say or
write, which are not "stored in [a] mind" but in words and books.

Are you going to call everything you disagree with, or can't understand,
a "deflection"? I'd have thought you'd be bright enough to vary your ad
homs.

Well, yeah; 'knowledge' presupposes that someone or something able to
know it.

But let's stick to the definition of knowledge that those who study it
(epistemologists) use.

Knowledge consists of proposition that are (1) true, (2) believed, and
(3) justified.

> Penny's Plagiarized Pages (PPP) is not sentient, and, consequently,
does not possess knowledge.

So you're saying that no one can read PPP (or anything else) and acquire
any knowledge from it -- because there's no knowledge there to acquire.
That's what we're discussing.

PPP's article on Longfellow says that "At age 13 he had his earliest
publication – a patriotic and historical 4-stanza poem called "The
Battle of Lovell's Pond" – in the Portland Gazette of November 17, 1820.[7]

That's a proposition that's (1) true, (2) believed, and (3) justified.

Did Longfellow ever get a "Perky" award?

PS: Gotta give Dreckweasel a boat anchor to cling to. It's only fair.
