What's disjoint is trying to apply strict rules of logic to a conversation like this. If you wish to declare shrill and true to be disjoint, your own introduction to this conversation of the word "shrill" in response to xoB's political opinion is a poster child for illogic, and an ad hominem attack as well. "We disagree, and you're shrill." I read his post, and your response and I didn't find it "shrill". You clearly disagree, am I being shrill now?

As to my logic, I specifically called the comparison of shrill and true misapplied. They're not disjoint, though. They're complimentary. The first is about form, and the second is about content. They're NOT the same thing, but they absolutely overlap.

Additionally, I made a distict separation of the "logic" of the conversation and the political opinions being voiced. I happen to agree with xoB and HM, and clearly you do not. That seems to be the source of friction here, not "logic". MaggieL, you are in the difficult and uneviable position of defending this administration's actions. Good luck disengaging from that tar baby.
