Please, Alice: You're attacking straw men here, I hope you're aware
of that. If you bothered reading our posts, you would see that
the participants in this discussion have been more than willing to
point out Zoyd's flaws, including his hypocrisy. We have, in fact,
been discussing various shades of grey. We have also insisted, however,
that Zoyd is no snitch. Shades of grey or not, your claim that Zoyd is
a snitch is not even a strong misreading, it's a weak misreading,
and you have been unable to back it up with a single shred of textual
evidence. Saying Zoyd is not a snitch is not the same as saying that
he is an angel, though, and no one has been making that claim. You are
arguing against an argument which has not been made.
If you want us to keep up our end of the dialogue, then please extend
us the courtesy of responding to our actual arguments instead of
playing this annoying game of shooting down straw men.
Tore
