I hope that didn't happen here, but it could and it may go unnoticed by most since we all seem to be in our own little orbits most of the time.

Honestly, I'm pretty new here, but I'm a fast reader and I've read a lot of historical threads in a couple of months, going back well over a year. I have not seen anything to make me think you deserverd to be slammed in such a manner. Please, take any ridicule with a large grain of salt and land on your feet. Go ahead and make some tracks in the ground on your way back here. Some of us miss your candor and feather ruffling.

She told me it didn't happen here.

Glad she's talking to someone.

She's not talking much. Between the asperger's and the depression I think she's feeling pretty isolated, but I don't know.

Um I know this is an old issue, but this would'nt have anything to do with sc would it??

You've offended me before, so i accept

Ahh another classic example of a quote that seems profound at first glance, but then when you muster up your intelligence and read it again, you can see that it is actually not even worth quoting. All the quote is basically saying is that a cynical person who has stopped being cynical is not cynical anymore (stating the obvious) and is very kind.

It is half stating the obvious and half an unsubstantiated unsupportable claim. There are no actual reasons to conclude that cynical people who are no longer cynical are the kindest people on earth. OK yes they become kinder (stating the obvious), but there is no reason to say they are the kindest people.

The quote is a bunch of a crap. Many quotes that sound profound are a bunch of crap when you analyze them. Many of them are also so ambiguous that there is no clear meaning. Dim people are impressed by phrases that they cannot properly understand because the wording is so poorly and vaguely chosen.

It has nothing to do with any members of this site, or anyone who has been a previous member of this site.

Occasionally someone posts something on this thread that pertains to the topic, but not too often.

emp, I don't agree with you, except I must acknowlege your point that sometimes I am dim. It might be possible for you to be less insulting when you disagree with me. Your occasional propensity for verbal sadism does not strengthen the validity of your logic.

I have no way of knowing your motives, I have enough difficulty attempting to honestly understand my own. It would be pointless for me to speculate on this.

A number of your posts display sharp, perceptive and original insights about human nature which I do not always entirely agree with, but I find thought provoking. I always enjoy these posts.

Let me know if I am wrong, but I suspect that you are not too interested in hearing my opinion on Lin Yu Tang's opinion on a topic where one person's opinion is as good as another's.

A quirk of mine is that I refuse to use fast food drive-thru windows. When my kids suggest it, I tell them, "I don't want to talk to a fence post."

If anybody feels Lin Yu Tang's opinion deserves further discussion, we can discuss it.

I enjoyed the Matrix movies but they are full of ambiguous quotes. I was wondering if
you had problems enjoying those movie due to the quotes? Oh what brought this up is
part one and two have been on cable TV today.

Hale:
WTF?
We all love you.
seriously.
I hope by the time this reaches you, you feel seriously better.

I'm not here much, not had an opinion on your postings one way or another, but I do know what it's like to feel that low so I wanted to just say "hang in there" - there's clearly people on here who like and respect you.

That part is not true either. An idealist who has outgrown his idealism is NOT necessarily a menace. He/she may simply have become a realist or pragmatist, and that is fine. I would argue that the latter is more likely than becoming a menace.

An entertaining story that does a poor job of explaining itself, leaving much unexplained even at the end, leaving me feeling unsatisfied. Like watching a "whodunnit" movie where the murderer is never revealed.

I have no clue what she supposedly did or said that might have offended anyone.
