Sword, more advise solicited

Submitted by Infidel (Canada), Feb 6, 2007 at 17:46

Once again Sword, I wish to express my appreciation to you for your uncommon and unusual understanding of people, even when you base this understanding on a few lines that they may have submitted to the Pipes' website. I say this because I found Mr. Sachar's book informative and interesting and was thinking of purchasing another of his books.

But now, thanks to your act of kindness, you have informed me that I fundamentally disagree with him on matters of historical fact, which of course is a surprise to me. Should you be aware of any other authors I disagree with, please let know. After all, why should I spend money on books, when all I do is count the pages.

By the way, I just purchased another book; "The Jewish State", by Yoram Hazony. And as you may have guessed, I've already counted the pages, 343. This does not include the Bibliography, Chapter Titles, Index, Notes and References pages. In your next scathing, insulting, humiliating, affronting, offending, outrageous letter of condemnation, please let know whether I should include the Bibliography, Chapter Titles, Index, Notes and References pages when referring to the number of pages in a book. For by adding these additional pages my references should be even more impressive. And isn't this what it's all about? And as for proving your wrong; why the Holy Bible may have more errors than any of your writings.

Comments are screened and in some cases edited before posting. Reasoned disagreement is welcome but not comments that are scurrilous, off-topic, commercial, disparaging religions, or otherwise inappropriate.
