(ok, I shouldn't post this, ..)
its the polarizing lenses, I actually believe snacks would like to be fair, at least at some level, but the snide ass shit from the rwks, always present, always droning away with really nothing resembling original content has certainly driven me (or I have allowed myself to be so driven) into some seriously pissed off moments.
Not everybody sees the decorum of vigorous debate of ideas and the attacking and parsing of ideas as a separate matter from the drivel of the 'you are just a repetitive swank' (e.g.) strictly personal attack without merit or content.
My mistake has been (over the years in this venue at least) has been to become muddle brained on those that stick to point (e.g 24601, one I have tussled with in fits but one of fair and organized consideration (and add e.g. SDR) ), versus those that live by messenger assassination who have nothing to offer or originate at any level (rwk), and those that variably surf the seas in an almost whimsical poetic construct that brings them happiness (weby e.g.).
I, and perhaps you, but certainly I, am one that when a particular point is brought into consideration and focus, I hope it is shredded, dissected, reconstructed, atomized and done again.
I routinely observe that many, not just many, many many many humans are very very very uncomfortable with such abstraction.
All sorts of home team ideologies and such come into play.
It is a fault of mine. I will take any new point and seek to shred it, reconstruct it, and shred it again. You, if I can be so bold, seem to afford similar processes.
My observations as that those comfortable with such processes are just that, they are ok with it., but for many it is a centrally destabilizing catastrophic even to so formulate. rwk, e.g., a clear example of a human with likely considerable education that has all of the intellectual versatility of a 2x4. 2x4 are good and valuable. They are, after all, reliably 2x4.
I would like to see rwk step up his game to one that involved thought, reflection, and consideration, and it is something I think he can do.
That is Dig Space. The fricking optimist. Presumably rwk has something, (or not, certainly not shown yet) and rather than piss around, maybe rwk is willing to actually take the plunge, the scary plunge, and think.
That maybe a rwk will say : his is whay I think and this is why ...
but the rwk I see is one who simply stands there , saying NOTHING, and chiming in with "I judge that repetitiveness" "I prefer a shorter skirt" and so on ... I've been accused of being only a commentary bit, but, at least I comment.
rwk brings peanut gallery coward to a new height ... offer nothing, piss on a few.
rwk, here, now, again, here now ... do you actually have a thought or idea or is your whole existence a self-appointed veto authority?
Does thinking and speaking ... hurt?
