The Editor's Log

What you meant was...

I'm always amused when people who disagree with me tell me what I am really thinking or why I really did something. On Twitter, I asked if there was a technical name for this type of argument, other than specious. What I discovered, of course, is that everyone's a jokester: 

LadySiren: "Sounds like a job for the Psychic Frenemities Network"

Haikuhijinks: "Argu-meants"

And for the win, kevglobal: "Clair-annoyance"

And with one simple post, you have finally sold me on the value of Twitter. Oh, how I do love a good pun. +1 to argu-meants.

What you really meant was everyone's a buffoon.
Just joking.
