@Toscani writes in #78 that"[s]arcasm inverts the surface meaning, and "seems wise" actually communicates that something is decidedly unwise."
Toscani is right about sarcasm. But I was not being sarcastic.
I added the "seems' as a qualifier simply because I am not in position to judge @Toscani's wisdom with absolute dependability. I don't hang around him at work, for example.
But so far, judging by his (or her, I suppose) posts, Toscani seems wise to me. I was quite sincere about that.
Although now I must add, perhaps, that Toscani doesn't seem to trust Noflaps to act in good faith. Which is a shame, but nothing that can't change, with time and further reading.
I have no interest in attacking others, especially those who do not attack me first.
And when I express admiration, I mean it.
