TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Recently, I had a conversation with someone about e-book readers, that Kindle wasn't the best choice due to no personal upload ability and no ability to actually KEEP what you purchase, if Amazon decides to take it away; that a sony reader was a better choice. He immediately asked me if I read Google's blog, because he just heard the same thing last week from there. I said no...and now, I wish I would have reacted with horror. I had turned into an opinionated soundbite rather than a means of real conversation. I'd rather make my manner of communicating as convoluted as possible than I would descend into speaking short opinions all the time. I don't want to have an opinion any more, everybody's got them, and they're all bullshit, including my current ones. I'd rather eschew all but those necessary for principle, so I can really communicate with people, rather than playing a subconscious game of dominance, who's smarter than/knows more than/more widely read/more experienced than whom. Because of this, twitter is to be avoided.

Right now I'm reminded of several new personal boundaries I've been making, so I can control the terms of interaction and avoid "twitteality".

Um, no offence intended?   :?

I disagree; I haven't paid for a book yet, I have uploaded plenty of the PD.com's PDFs, and all files are on my desktop as well as in the Kindle.
