I just plonked Jim Thompson

Are you sure you don't mean 'puerile'?

Jim

fac·ile /?fæs?l or, especially Brit., -a?l/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[fas-il or, especially Brit., -ahyl] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation ?adjective

1. moving, acting, working, proceeding, etc., with ease, sometimes with superficiality: facile fingers; a facile mind.
2. easily done, performed, used, etc.: a facile victory; a facile method.
3. easy or unconstrained, as manners or persons.
4. affable, agreeable, or complaisant; easily influenced: a facile temperament; facile people.

Which one of these were you trying to express ???

I think he means one of these...

"3. Arrived at without due care, effort, or examination; superficial: proposed a facile solution to a complex problem. 4. Readily manifested, together with an aura of insincerity and lack of depth: a facile slogan devised by politicians."

But Genome is definitely a TURD, the definition for which I'm sure he'll know his qualifications ;-)

Reciprocated.

But facile admits sincerity. I'd go with glib.

I don't understand why plonking is such a mighty act. You could hold your breath until you turn blue, or wrap your head in duct tape, and it would affect Jim about as much.

If I think someone is an ass, I just ignore them. There is, after all, an infinite supply of asses in the world.

John

Hey, is linear integrated circuit design "facile"?

John

Infinite supply? We've only got about 7 gigaPeeps on the planet.

Yep, Easy for me ;-)

...Jim Thompson

Oh, hell, you're both too facile! Whaddaya, chickening out of the Monday Night Fights? >:->

Cheers! Rich

I wish I could say that were true, but I've seen to attempting to argue with them many, many times.

But they can breed! Luckily, many of them don't.

John

Well, I suppose we may differ on the exact boundaries of "ass". And sometimes they're fun to argue with.

Less than 6 Billion.

Being a good specialist is not an excuse for being a bad person.

VLV

Am I a "bad person" for finding "progressives" (aka socialists, leftists weenies, pansies) offensive ?:-)

Or do you find me "bad" for other reasons... like not tolerating ignorance, or is it something else ??

...Jim Thompson

You're too much of a pansy to be really bad. Why else would you consistently hedge your offensive statements with smileys?

-- Joe

To signify that I'm really getting a good laugh out of taking pokes at these cretins.

...Jim Thompson

I measure the worth of my day by the quality of the people I piss off.
