<p>[quote user="schlimm"]</p> <p>It isn't a law as to what one tips. It is simply a matter of the practices of etiquette in a given culture.</p> <p>I think you will find sarcasm is a rhetorical device used in written and sometimes spoken language: <span id="hotword"><span style="color:#333333;cursor:default;" id="hotword">"mocking,</span> <span id="hotword">contemptuous,</span> <span id="hotword">or</span> <span id="hotword">ironic</span> <span id="hotword">language</span> <span id="hotword">intended</span> <span id="hotword">to</span> <span style="color:#333333;cursor:default;" id="hotword">convey</span> <span style="color:#333333;cursor:default;" id="hotword">scorn</span> <span style="color:#333333;cursor:default;" id="hotword">or</span> <span style="color:#333333;cursor:default;" id="hotword">insult</span> .</span>" It does not ordinarily require voice tone. In any case, I was referring to another's post about your rationale for tipping or not.</p> <p>The notion that "no one posting on these forums has earned the right to comment on my [sam1's] behaviors" confirms henry6's last comment directed your way. [/quote]</p> <p>Really? Whose post were you referring to? What specifically did they say? It is posted under my post, so I am curious.</p> <p>So lets see if I have this straight. Its OK for Henry6 to make comments like all businesses are subsidized; business leaders only care about profits; Texas oil men (women) are thugs etc., without any evidence, but when I push back that is inappropriate? Or you imply that my preference for free markets as opposed to government run commercial activities is ideological, but when I counter by saying that a preference for government solutions is equally ideological, that is inappropriate? Or when I outline why Fred Frailey's statement regarding amortization of capital is bad accounting, it is verbose, presumably, without any hard data to counter it.</p> <p>We've beat this topic to death. I am out of here for now. But I be back on other topics with supported counterpoints when I believe someone is making an unsupported comment. By the same token I will support a comment with addition data if the original statement is supported properly. </p>
