Longest Thread Ever

So if you were convicted, wouldn't all you said be excontext?

I see what you're driving at. . . . in that case, however, I think the term "ex-" would be presumptious and false, perhaps in some way like saying someone is an "ex-con" is. Presuming me to be out on the lam, and the context somehow different. , , , ,

however, the logic fails to line up perfectly, as ex-cons will always be cons, no ex to it.

I run into this problem all the time. Whatever the subject and whatever the definitions are for the terms used in discussing it. . . . logic never does the job well enough.
 
It's a perpetual problem that drives me to seek refuge in meaninglessness.

I do find, however, joy in this thread.
