I see.  Colloquy, hmm... I don't see much of that around here. In fact I
not sure that you can apply the term to anything much available on the
internet, certainly not the article nor anything on here. Neither am I
sure, quite, what it has to do with articulation, unless you are
conversing with the judge using semaphore. That would certainly count as
"conspicuous". I think you may be confusing the term with 'polemic' -
which is altogether a much better description of just about anything on
here.

I presume you meant 'one' rather than 'you'. Otherwise it might have
been misconstrued as fighting talk.

Have a nice day.
