I edit manuscripts for a scholarly press.~~I used to blog under the pseudonym Ed Absurdum. I now use my real name because I dislike anonymity. And I like the sound of "nonanonymous.~~I don't write about dangling modifiers or other boring trivia, and I don't do "haha, I found a typo." I'm not with the grammar police.~~If I criticize an author, that doesn't mean I disagree with them or find everything they write unacceptable.~~Opinions expressed here aren't necessarily those of my employer.

Inconsistency, Ad Hominem, and Straw Man
No, that's not the name of an accounting firm. It's the title that the Fallacy Files gave to a little something that I wrote (wrote very badly, if I may say so) some years ago, before this blog existed. I hope you find it worthwhile. If you want to read it, you can go to the link and scroll down to "Inconsistency, Ad Hominem, and Straw Man."
