    1. Why so FURious? Rebuttal of Dr. Fiona Probyn-Rapsey’s Response to Gerbasi et al.’s “Furries from A to Z (Anthropomorphism to Zoomorphism)”

      Ha.

      This is a rebuttal of a response to Gerbasi et al.'s paper summarizing and examination of the furry fandom. I'm curious to see how this paper will critically analyze the others. Given that it's chiefly written by Kathleen C. Gerbasi and Laura L. Scaletta, who chiefly wrote "Furries from A to Z (Anthropomorphism to Zoomorphism", I have no doubt that the insights throughout will be charged. Or maybe they won't. Professionalism is chief in academia, after all.

    1. When the assembly meets to elect a physician or a shipwright or any other craftsman, will the rhetorician be taken into counsel? Surely not.

      Not a proclaimed Rhetorician, like Gorgias here, no.

      Though, rhetoric would have to show up in the discussions as to who makes the cut in the election. The physician being elected would have to make some sort argument as to why he's the best.

    2. Why, did I not say that it was the noblest of arts?

      Using rhetoric within rhetoric to make it more... rhetoric?
