The point where I'm quoting Jesus is the point where I know I have reached the edge of reason, and it's time to be quiet. — unenlightened

Sometimes when people get under our skin it is a reflection of our own insecurities. — Lif3r

@Lif3r How true what you said can be~

:gasp:
Did I make a list? Yayyyy haha

I remember in the old PF how quick and effective the administrators were to spot the occasional crank or the person who would start to make ad hominem attacks and be too abusive. Poof! And they were gone instantly. The NKVD worked so well. That instilled a little bit of fear into us and kept the discussion rather polite. Yet when the old forum crashed the first time, the first thing on my mind was had I written something bad and gotten evicted for some reason. — ssu

God I remember that feeling....and I think we were in good company that had felt that way. It was a fear that one day, you would no longer have a space at the table of "thinkers" that was set. As @Hanover used to say: when someone gets banned it kind makes you wonder if you could be next and maybe had to up your game. :eyes:

The best laid plans in war and politics unravel at first contact with the opposition — Sir2u

And then almost everything changes except for the nugget of contention that started the war.

You just thanked me. There is no need to thank me again within 3 words. But thank you for thanking me, and thanks.

I LOVE the gratefulness of it all! :heart:

Well. Being, being being, is no being; or to put it another way, no being can be being, because being is being. While it may be true that beings be, by being they are not being. Thus we avoid caricature. — Ciceronianus the White

There will be an answer...

Let be be.

It's all about their attempt to obtain power at all costs. It has nothing to do with righteousness. To think otherwise is incredibly naive. — Hanover

What group of people are we talking about again? :razz:

I wasn't putting any words in your mouth as you're quite capable of making an ass out of yourself without my help. All I was trying to do was helping you figure out the inanity of your position. — Benkei

Another one of my favorite forum attorneys!

I hope to be able to definitively answer the question in the OP before long. I have been busy in the important exercise of observing everything and identifying for every single thing whether it has a start.

When I am finished, I will post the result here, and then we'll finally know for good and all. — andrewk

:smirk: :up:

Stay happy, walk in the shade and don't talk to strangers unless they are firemen.

Probably the best advice I received for 2019 from another forum member! :cool:

You ain't no peng'un historian, Mikey. Don't be given papa Hanover no lip or you'll be in for a good hidin'. Your kind ain't welcome around these parts. Take your new spangled intellectualism elsewhere. You hear me, boy? — S

:starstruck: You put em in place S!

I never said we don't have the ability to cope. I cope with your arguments and obvious hostility for example :wink: . — schopenhauer1

My obvious hostility is what makes me so endearing. Everyone I force into submission tells me so.

So they don't tell you too often then do they. :lol:

With respect, I am wrong more often than you think. But when I play devil's advocate and all I get is ridicule and argument from authority, I smile quietly and shake my head a little.

My mentor, my sage~ I am trying very hard to walk in your shadow my friend~

The existence of horses and narwhals proves the existence of unicorns.

You could apply this principle to anything really. It's a simple formula, "because there's this, there must also be that".

This is what makes ancient philosophy so lasting, so impossible to defeat, so impressive and amazing. It's reverse psychology, if you say something so profoundly and incomprehensibly stupid that no one can argue against it, then you win while the world scratches its head. — "whollyrolling

Too much talking, not enough listening. — S

Nah! Most of us do not have the opportunity to use morality spreaders on others. (They look just like manure spreaders. And sometimes it's the same old bullshit.) — Bitter Crank

Now I'm in the embarrassing position of more or less agreeing entirely. — csalisbury

A fate worse than birth.

It's not like anything actually happened. Nobody came. Nobody posted. Nobody left. Nobody even had trouble with the English language.

If only someone would name themselves Your Mama,, I could have endless fun.

An addict needs help, not condemnation. They've become a victim to their addiction, which would be corrupting them and causing them distress. — S
