Louisiana law gets medieval

Once again you display your ineptitude.

Ah, the personal attack....but given that you didn't use less sophisticated words, it's not "puerile" or "Schoolyard antics" and therefore is acceptable in your book. We've done your song and dance routine enough to know the games that you play. Expect your intellectual dishonesty to be called out when you utilize it.

Once again you do not understand basic language. And as for personal attacks you might consider your own peevish language in that regard.

Please desist with the special pleading. It only serves to make you appear even more ridiculous.

"Special pleading"?

"Special pleading"?

Tis a confusing one.

You've earned your reputation. Might as well own it. Maybe the next new person to the forum will be fooled by your behavior...

"Special pleading"?

My error. I intended your flagrant self promotion as if you are a special individual.

I can vouch for that!

You literally asked whether or not a couple in their nineties should enjoy a sexual relationship. "Should" seems to imply that.

You have to remember that she has problems understanding common English, and that you can not possibly parse out the meaning of the sentence because you aren't able to read her mind.

We're all special. In different ways. Like you are special... special needs, apparently.

I have lived a very interesting life and been encouraged to write a book or two about it several times (my typical reply is no thanks, my accounts die with me), and now for the last couple of decades have lived a quiet, boring life -- and am loving it.

Point of information the phrase special needs also applies to highly gifted children.

Actually, in the US, it's more - particular educational requirements arising from physical or intellectual disability or behavioral difficulties.

Ah well the USA is not the epicentre of the universe.

When you're referencing something one of us native English speakers said (or typed), it's far more important to understand how we use words or terms than your own assumptions.

This is an error you make quite frequently.

I erroneously corrected the spelling of one of our non-US contributors, only to discover that's the proper spelling in his country. So I needed to adjust.
You do, too.

Point of information. In Britain "native English speakers" use the term special needs to apply to individuals at the opposite ends of the educational and intellectual spectrum.

I am therefore unsure where my error might be.

Or are we back to the comment about two nations divided by a common language?
