ORIGINAL: BrutalAntipathy The tragedy here is that you are intelligent enough to know this, but chose instead to rally to the defense of those inclined to tarnish the spirit of the concept. Wow - a "purist"! And, without a means of discovering the 'real meaning' as intended, you are without anything to be pure about; but, not allowing that to stop you. Stop being silly. You state you cannot be assured of the origination, yet scream that I am 'tarnishing the meaning' Now that is rhetorical 'balderdash' and some pretty major 'tap dancing' about to avoid the fact that you are taking what you like and trashing the rest to suit the need of a thin argument... Time to get your logic in order as you have lost it. Besides - I am not "defending" anyone or any thing... as I pointed out innumberable times to you - you have an opinion, I have one as does everyone else out here... No matter how hard you "wizz in the tornado" - you are not more correct than you were previously... and, further digging yourself into a hole of illogic and rhetorical distance which is harder and harder to get out of... Ask Eso why he does not debate i public - it is because he (also) cannot win as it is a straw house he lives in... and, he cannot stomache dissension... despite the fact he places a "kick me" sign on his proverbial rear every time he trys to post something... He is an "OK" writer - lousey logician and/or theorist. If it does not fit his argument - he ignores it (as though it will go away or change) quote:
While the etymology may ( or may not, I have yet to find any dictionary that states either origin ) have military roots, the term has been used for several decades to denote a service that is available on a 24/7 basis. This is by far the most common current usage of the term. According to whom? This little straw poll you started as your play on it as an uncommon usage... ...and, I pointed out where it was wrong in accordance with the military (and, some of the places you used it would have the same exceptions). I feel smoke wafting up my rear here!! However - you are using it as "you see fit" - not as it was derived or as others use it. quote:
Ummmm, no. You are the one that decided to use it out of context, not myself. Yes - you are using the convenient context as it is defined by... who? Oh yes - Eso! LOL.... good move! quote:
I don't think that I would care for such a crown to begin with, though I am reminded of the saying " In the kingdom of the blind, the man with one eye is king. ". I seek what many here claim, but few deliver, to educate people on some points. This forum is the only place I have ever seen that people are so dull witted as to actually believe that communication is possible despite coherent universal definitions. OK - please find an authoritative sourse of the definition of 24/7 which is not someone who is prostelyzing and justifying their lives which does not include codiciles... Granted - I agree that a lot of the rationalizations seen on line (and, even in real life) violate the boundarys of reality - but, so does your absouteism and rhetiric - as it does not take into account the reality of the world as it presents itself to people "on the ground" - where the boots meet the earth - where real people rest their heads and no where but in the mythical land of Eso would anyone make such a claim and expect the most reasoned and seasoned of leather folks to agree with him. quote:
Even a child can see the irrationality of such stupidity, yet the fluff bunny part timers have such a herd of followers that they have convinced virtually everyone to abandon reason and common sense in favor of a feel good philosophy of " anything means whatever you want it to mean ". This is a sugary sweet but vacuous philosophy, just cotton candy rhetoric that fails to enlighten, clarify, or serve as any form of guiding force. What it actually does is destroy any coherence within the community and shatters whatever solidarity and unity we might otherwise be able to achieve. This is detrimental not only to the education of newbies, but also erects insurmountable barriers between those who plea for rational communication and those that think the world can function within the confines of the Biblical tower of Babel curse. A couple of things - Your concern for "newbies" is laudable... BS, but laudable. And, Wow - it almost sounds as though you have a religious background - the way you go on... impressive -but, nonsensical as no one thus far has demonstrated that level of faith in your ranting. Besides - calling people names is a sure fire way to end anyone's attention to what ever it is your message was... 'Bad move, Hunny Bunny' (name the movie - win a Cupie Doll!). quote:
I am not speaking for everyone involved in 24/7. I am speaking for what IS 24/7. As mentioned - in your world where the sun rises every morning and the rain stays off until the sun is set... Not in any place that reality rears it's ugly head (by the way - how many times can you repeat yourself before sounding trite? quote:
It is not my fault that some people delude themselves into thinking that 24/7 = 8/1, 12/4, or any other combination that does not equal 24/7. 24/7 is not the level of control exerted, but the frequency of the exertion. So then - if someone feels the pull of 24/7 24 hours a day, seven days a week then they are under a 24/7 relationship?? Wow... so then you do admit that there are exceptions to being under someone's direct sway - just that they have to have it exerted for that amount of time. OK... a concession! quote:
Yes, 24/7 TPE means just that, every time, every way. Anyone that claims to live 24/7 TPE only when convenient is lying both to themselves and to others. NO argument - people lie to themselves every day... Like yourself. Saying to yourself that you are ultimately correct - and, that the majority of leather defines it the way that you do, despite the fact that almost (*I think it is everyone) everyone who posted in regard to your absolutist dictum was against it. That is delusion. quote:
I really do expect better of you than crude insults, as that is the final defense of a person incapable of defending their position. Pardon me - but, you insulted me previous to my statement - and, that was an example of how you (through your demeaning of my intelligence) were being exactly as you were describing me here . So get an adjustment... and, look into the mirror... (besides - I just read your other postings... you are so screwed both morally [after this state,ment] and from CM moderators... they are likely to shut you off faster than plumbers with a pipe blowing sewage!) quote:
Very true, there is no helping the cyber wannabes here. But with effort and dedication, some of the newcomers that are open to learning may be reached. Dude... the leather lexicon is a screwed piece of work. I have been poking about for quite a while (at least 4 months)... the words we use are constantly evolving, lending it this aura of uncertainty that you are molesting with your less than stellar preaching. If you want to reach people - this is not the way... but - I am willing to bet that you are discovering that slamming people for their beliefs gets more manure than flys... no wait... Peeing in a thunderstorm destroys electrolytes... No wait... Um... I bet you are discovering that you are just making an ass of yourself and influening no one. But - this has been fun - leading you down this path... Hope you enjoyed it. ~J PS: read the quote below
