Dear JVP

>>It annoys people that I admit that I say I don't think I deserve to be an MVP anymore?? <<

No, that's a sophist misrepresentation. You prove my point.

>>If anything, it probably annoys you that I have just rendered another potential argument of yours moot.<<

No, you *prove* my point every time you speak. The above is a very obvious example of sophistry.

>>MS is the arbiter of that... Otherwise, it would just be a popularity contest. That is the nice way of saying that it is none of your business who becomes an MVP...<<

And again you do it. *I* have nothing to do with your criticisms of others for behaviour you exhibit to a far worse extent. Nor does MS. It's all you. Yet you try to circumlocute it into an imagined issue that somehow involves MS and me, and not you at all! Your attempt is a blatant sophist circumlocution. It fails.

All you are proving again and again is that sophistry and circumlocution are your tools of trade to try to "prove" things. Others may say it with different words, but IMHO it is your addiction to these tactics that makes you the common factor in almost all dissention around here.

Needless to say, I'm not "annoyed" about any of it myself, your predictable use of a small arsenal of obvious tactics actually disappoints me a little because you used to be a lot more imaginative. All that book work must be grinding you down.
