2) if you don't care so much about "winning" so much as you care about "making our world more pleasant" then drop the conversation already. If you didn't "need" to have the last word, then this comment didn't "need" to be posted at all.
3) understanding math is not the same thing has having perfect English skills. Nor do you have any basis to make any assumptions about how I "process" or "grokk" or "parse" anything as you have no idea how my mind works except for the fact that I understand html coding and therefore understand how websites work, which was a fact that I had to provide. I apologized for the misunderstanding already regarding the pronoun "us" - it is a common mistake, from both English as a first language and English as a second language people. Persons who learn English a second language are not "more likely to understand the textbook version of the written language" because it depends on how they learned English. My best friend learned English by watching BBC comedies while growing up in Germany, so he has a lot of trouble with formal grammar rules, but he understands English humor (better than I do, not having been exposed to British humor until adulthood). Pronouns are notoriously complicated to a large portion of the population. Again with the assumptions and lumping in people to categories. And I apologized for it already.
4) You still have not seen anything regarding "emotion" from me, let alone a strong emotion like "rage" or even "scorn", however your posts are just dripping with condescension and not conducive to encouraging me to be friendly towards you. The person who merely offered the links to where I could find the schedule was MUCH more helpful and I told her so.
5) My original complaint has not been proven untrue. The schedule *is* currently not available, which is annoying, often not made available until right before the con, which is also annoying, and when it is made available, it could be made easier to find than it currently is, and I gave specific suggestions as to how that could be accomplished.
