Thankyou for the lesson, very informative I assure you.

Glad you found it helpful. Actually the whole Logical Fallacies site is worthy of your attention.

I'd love to know what it has to do with the line you quoted from me.

My point being that not all violence is evil. That was either the point you were making, or absolutely contradicted your point, I'm not sure which.

Talking of that quote, While you imply that violence is not always the tool of the incompetent...

Um, no, I'm not implying it. I've been stating it flat out, repeatedly.

from what I remember the books certainly suggest it is....

So, by your reading, during W.W. II, inbetween writing the first and second voumes of the trilogy, Dr. Asimov really shouldn't have been working (along with Heinlein and DeCamp) at the Naval Air Experimental Station at the Philadelphia Navy Base here? With him being such a total pacifist and all, both his enlisting in the Army and working to develop weapons systems surely would have been hypocritical.

I'll take note that spelling criticism is once again fair game, too. :-)
