ORIGINAL: longwayhome Crumpets, my fellow participant, I think I made my views quite clear in previous posts. I rarely misunderstand. quote:
ORIGINAL: longwayhome Interesting trolling technique though to try to get someone you clearly see as an opponent to rise to the bait by giving them unappealing choices as a rationale for their actions or opinions. Elementary logic, my Dear Mr. Watson. quote:
ORIGINAL: longwayhome The only explanation must be that I'm either ignorant, naive or playing to the crowd. Actually, there were only two, not three, options (where ignorant and naive were lumped together); and playing to the crowd was your best option. quote:
ORIGINAL: longwayhome In fact it's quite simple, I just have a different view of the world to you. Nice dance you're dancing; but it doesn't change the fact that you either knew of the proverb, or you didn't know of it. Since you claimed to be unaware of the epigram, then you are clearly (ignorant or naive - choose one). Even so, you can still have an opinion; only it can't be an educated opinion. It's an opinion based on missing the entire point altogether. And, I'm sure you have it. quote:
ORIGINAL: longwayhome I will write further when I think I have something to contribute, Please do. Remember, nobody is holding a gun to your head to make you post. quote:
ORIGINAL: longwayhome but just as you have no obligation to read and respond to my posts, neither do I with regard to yours. Heh heh... I see that you may be worried that you hurt my feelings. Don't worry about me. I may be submissive to women and easily led to please one who deserves my attention, but I'm as strong as an ox, mentally and physically. The only thing that hurts me is realizing that the vast majority of people on this forum are of below average IQ. This hurts because they have the most idiotic of ideas - almost all borne of sheer ignorance, like yours. quote:
ORIGINAL: longwayhome Incidentally it also doesn't make me a lesser person if I chose not to respond to every provocation. 1. You made an idiotic statement that could only mean you were ignorant, or playing to the crowd. 2. I pointed this out, and asked which was which. 3. You (intelligently) chose not to respond. You did EXACTLY what I would have expected you to do. You can't answer the question because it would prove my point that your statement was either borne out of sheer ignorance or that it was crafted to kiss the crowd's ass. Sheer logic leaves no other option. The funny thing is that sometimes, idiots do answer the rhetorical questions - which simply proves they are idiots. 1. For example, yesterday I satirically responded to a kid who warned us about a pro-domme scam in which he lost $100. 2. Wholly (and obviously) facetiously, I posted a satirical thank-you note, ironically concluding that the scamming Dommes were "clever dommes". 3. Wouldn't you know it - the idiot AGREED with me! He felt that not only did he SAVE us from the peril that befell him, but, that we were, somehow, edified by his warning What appalls me is how stupid most of the crowd is here. To be sure, you didn't fall into my simple trap. But, that kid did (hook, line, and sinker). And most of the people who post here have the apparent IQ of a rabbit. The only thing that keeps me here, is that some (very few - but certainly some) are as "sharp as a single atom tip formed by chemically assisted spatially controlled field evaporation." I'd say in any one thread, there are only two people with an IQ worth conversing with. What keeps me coming back is conversing with THEM! Since I generally see what few others see, they help me open my eyes to the possibilities. The rest simply waste my valuable time. quote:
ORIGINAL: longwayhome This has been an interesting and varied thread. I dare say I may contribute again, but time will tell. You are handling this well, and, you didn't fall into my simple trap, so, kudos to you. I appreciate your input. quote:
ORIGINAL: longwayhome In the meantime, thank you for your interest in my posts. Here, we are what we write. Everyone here starts with 0 points and then loses them or gains them by what they have to contribute. I'd say your post that I'm replying to gained you a few points. Well done.
