In fact, I don't know of any which don't. That seems to be the prevailing formula for Triablogue postings. Good thing there are occasional commenters who happen along and point this out.<BR/><BR/>12/31/2007 6:33 AM <BR/><BR/>**********<BR/><BR/>He sez without supporting argument, merely stipulating himself the winner.<BR/><BR/>Good thing I'm here to monitor my combox and point this out.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, good thing he's easy to refute. Because one need not look far to note his folly. In fact, this very post he's commenting in had arguments in it. But, he says that all the posts here that he knows of have *only* assertions.<BR/><BR/>Moreover, assertions aren't necessarily a bad thing. A deductive argument can be a list of assertions. If the assertions are more probable than their denial, and if they are strung together in valid form, then the conclusion is more probable than its denial.<BR/><BR/>So, we may have assertions in many posts, those are put forward in argument form, and so the conclusion can't be dismissed because you note that we offered asssertions.<BR/><BR/>1. All men are mortal. (assertion).<BR/><BR/>2. Socrates is a man. (assertion).<BR/><BR/>3. Socrates is mortal. (info contained in two assertions).<BR/><BR/>So, another benightened, nullifidian fundy happened our way.
