Why should I be ashamed of being right?

Aha, finally a sensible counterpoint. I don't know - maybe there are
exceptions galore, but since evidence of such an exception has yet to be
proffered, my premise stands pat.

If a particular non-idiot professes to follow standards, he or she would
be uncategorically hypocritical to make personal exceptions.

If memory serves, said argument was vacuous and fallacious even ignoring
the fact that there _is_ such a rule which seems to have been accepted
for centuries by those in the field.

My need to feel safe is exceeded only by my need for coffee and
cigarettes so I will revise my recommendation regarding your
transmigration and suggest instead a move to Riyadh. Ha ha, my id gets
giddy just thinking about you becoming sassy with the Arabs.
