'The difference being, though, that MtG actually knows the stuff cold'
'Now who was it who implied I was an encyclopaedia in a recent thread? Begins with a 'K' ends in an 'r', ten letters'...'
'How does that contradict what I just said at all? It's completely consistent.'
Which is it? Encyclopaedic knowledge (knows the stuff cold) or just inspired guesswork, and the ability to do google searches?
When Obi Gyn can't even discuss gay men and lesbians in the same way he talks about heterosexuals, that is, as whole human beings, not simply people who have sex, then how is that not personal?
When he says that we can't love in the same way, or that it isn't the same as heterosexual love, how is that not personal?
When you said recently that death from A.I.D.S. is not particularly horrendous, you weren't speaking from personal, painful experience, and to have a friend's death belittled in that way is personal.
I take what matters to me personally- otherwise I wouldn't be so forceful in defending it.

Why are you quoting the bible at me? |
You mean you're not familiar with that passage?
That's the advantage of knowing the material through experience with it. If you learn it, you can quote it.
encyclopaedic - broad in scope or content;
"encyclopaedic knowledge"
encyclopaedic
comprehensive - including all or everything;
"comprehensive coverage";
"a comprehensive history of the revolution";
"a comprehensive survey";
"a comprehensive education"

All human actions will then, of course, be tabulated according to these laws, mathematically, like tables of logarithms up to 108,000, and entered in an index; or, better still, there would be published certain edifying works of the nature of encyclopaedic lexicons, in which everything will be so clearly calculated and explained that there will be no more incidents or adventures in the world.
'Notes from the Underground' by Fyodor Dostoievski
No one, I'm sure, has your encyclopaedic knowledge upon every subject.
'The Voyage Out' by Virginia Woolf
He had an encyclopaedic command of the field of knowledge, and by a word or a phrase, by delicate rapier thrusts, he punctured them.
'The Iron Heel' by Jack London
If I didn't know the material, I wouldn't know the apposite quotes or passages to look for to support the arguments.
That, I thought, would have been self-evident.
See, for instance, my discussion with Tripledoc re: who the United States goes to war with, and why.
You might just perhaps have me confused with Rainman.
I ain't.
