I think I've made a mistake coming here.
I meant no ill will to anyone, but I looked this place up because I thought, perhaps weirdos would tolerate a discussion of any topic, but I don't think that's possible anywhere these days.
I think ideas, no matter what they may be can be discussed without a bunch of name-calling.
What I like to do, is throw out a controversial idea, one that is emotionally evocative and one that people often avoid addressing intellectually and then try looking at it from a lot of different vantage points. I liken it to putting an argument into a particle accelerator and letting it collide with another argument. You get a lot out of looking at the pieces.
Now you'll review the thread, you'll see how quickly the name-calling began.
I'm pretty thick-skinned, but I won't just play the name-calling game because it's boring. (not that I haven't in the past, but I'm pretty saturated with that nonsense and I'm ready to move on to other nonsense)
I can see that a lot of you are creative intelligent and no doubt well-meaning people, but only within certain borders. (Yes I have borders too and I'm not better than anyone else here...but I don't think I'm any worse either)
So anyway I'm not an important person for anyone to be concerned with, but I was PM'ed so I thought I'd reply in some way before I "flounced".
Cheers!
