I would love to engage in a productive discussion with you, but given your incessant condescension, failure to adress or defend points and general unwillingness to adress the point rather than the poster, I see no reason to waste more time on trying to have one with you.

In that case: except it isn't, linguistically speaking, alpha privative understood.
Ah, blindly asserting your initial blind assertion, always a strong argument, especially when it fails to adress the point being made.

Alpha privative
An alpha privative or, rarely,[1] privative a (from Latin alpha prīvātīvum, from Ancient Greek α στερητικόν) is the prefix a- or an- (before vowels) that is used in Greek and in English words borrowed from Greek to express negation or absence, for example atypical, anesthetic, and analgesic.
