Accusations that I use a Thesaurus are Preposterous, Outlandish, and Downright Not Sensible (Which is an Antonym to Preposterous, by the Way)

A comment to my most recent entry contained a conjecture, also known as a supposition or a deduction, that I use the aid of a thesaurus to artificially augment, or enhance, the range of my lexicon. I categorically, positively and unconditionally deny making use of any such thing.

Such accusations are unfounded, groundless, unsupported, baseless, unsubstantiated, speculative, tenuous, and unproven at best. They are malicious, hateful, spiteful, malevolent, mean, nasty, cruel and wicked at worst. The only way that somebody could offer this termination would be if they were suffering from a lowliness complex or some advanced (though not irrational) form of sibling enmity. The only people who would believe such an insipid claim would have to be gullible, naïve and easy to fool.

I’ll sever to the pursuit: such a distrustful Thomas has put me in somewhat of a grab-22. I mean, since I resolutely, doggedly and decisively stick to my firearms it probably seems like I got up on the mistaken region of the cot. If, on the other give, I had ignored the claim, my silence could have been misconstrued as a tacit confession or coming-clean that the feline had been let out of the sack, my fast route to blogger-stardom would be compromised, threatened, endangered, in jeopardy, vulnerable, exposed, in danger, or even at risk. But the dollar stops here and while I will in the future let sleeping canines loll regarding this untruth, I would appreciate being given the advantage of the uncertainty.
