This here is something you don't get to say and be awarded the interpretation that it is joke. I avoid using this word when I'm joking. — L'éléphant
I don't have to imagine this, I only need to think of things I've been actually told. A troll, boring, not cool enough.Interested in how others think they’re perceived…and as a bonus: how different would these perceptions be in real life? — Mikie
Bah, that's the thing with this forum: one never knows when one should read between the lines and when not.(For example, I’m actually a nice guy in the real world! If I had any friends you could ask them.)
*sigh*well, Baker can a benevolent prick. — L'éléphant
This is pretty much how I feel most of the time here: — baker
And proud of it!
It annulls your climate activism. — baker

I legitimately have no idea what people think of me. Members educated extensively in philosophy may recognize me as a dilettante, and these days I’m more visible in the Shoutbox than anywhere else so I’m probably thought of as a buffoon, and perhaps an arrogant one. — Jamal
I doubt most members think of me at all. — Vera Mont
These days I suppose I'm just the second-in-command shoutbox class clown, next to Hanover. — Noble Dust
I think people think of me as the Bob Hope of the forum. Which is great, as everyone loves Bob. — Baden
If I die, nobody would truly care. — javi2541997
This is not meant rudely, but for me this is true. But I think it’s only because we haven’t interacted much and you’re often reasonable enough that your posts don’t stand out. And perhaps it’s something about your name — for some reason it blends with so many others that I have a hard time remembering. — Mikie
That said, I actually find this place to be populated by above average intelligence. — L'éléphant
You'll know them by the essays they write. haha! :lol:It seems that way to me, also. But I suspect AI is crawling along the alleyway waiting to slip through a cracked door. This could be a plus . . . or not? :chin: — jgill
Well, in that case, I only read the dozen or so people.There’s a dozen or so people who are certainly above average. But there’s a lot of morons too. — Mikie
lol. :sweat:What he is likely misremembering is the few times I stated that there are crazy people in this site. And we all know that there is. — Lionino
I know. Caring is hard. Like loving is hard. :wink:One thing that I find so peculiar (and for which I have gotten a lot of flak) is the almost complete lack of introspection, lack of self-reflection, and lack of applying the theme that is being discussed to oneself, on the spot. Esp. in Western philosophical discourse, any request for such is instantly dismissed as a fallacious ad hominem. I just don't understand this. — baker
Oh, I thought people came here to unlearn being nice.Compliments are more challenging, not because we can't think of things, but because it takes us out of our comfort zones to be nice. — Hanover
Lol, of all the idioms, you choose a martial one, and then invite compliments. It's as if you're categorically unable to say something without it being a double entendre. Don't repudiate it, it's a fine art.Anyway, I throw down the gauntlet. Only compliments.
Thank you. No, that should stay that way. It's good to know less -- it's the thought that counts.Honestly, the thing that stands out in my perception is your name— which I like— and the fact that you usually write well and are fairly unassuming. I don’t know much else about you though… — Mikie
I have very low self-esteem and tend to think the worst. — praxis
Whatever posts you've written in the forum which I had read, I liked your posts. You seem to be level-headed to me.Apparently I’m not as funny as I think I am. :sad: — praxis
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
