Eristic, from the ancient Greek word Eris meaning wrangle or strife, often refers to a type of argument where the participants fight and quarrel without any reasonable goal.
The aim usually is to win the argument and/or to engage into a conflict for the sole purpose of wasting time through arguments, not to potentially discover a true or probable answer to any specific question or topic. Eristic is arguing for the sake of conflict as opposed to the seeking of conflict resolution.

You know, the definition above fits some of the elders on this board really well. It's my bad that for a long time I thought I was being misunderstood, and tried to make things right in a wrong way, peace, love, bleh bleh.. I was the one who misunderstood things and I believed it was the right way. Then I got sad and left. Now that I think I understand those elders just a lil bit, I think I owe them an apology for not respecting them. I know that we cannot be friends anymore but I just want you people to know that I didn't do anything intentionally to hurt anyone and I'm very sorry for being disrespectful.

What do you think & know about this?

Heading back home momentarily. Will check there.

read the first page or two, then feel free to skip ahead to about page 17 which is where the fun really starts.

I missed you, too Nigel 

Hey, kiddo, how's it going?

Hey Dok!  How are you?!
It's going reeeaaally nice  Chilling at Ancient Greece, sipping my wine at the roof of my house across from Dionysus temple! Come and join me my brother!

Actually, I'm more of a "Go to the morning meeting and make all the other management miserable" kinda guy.

Sounds perfect! There are a lot of meetings and a lot of management to be made miserable around here!

Where is here?

Izmir - Turkey, Smyrna of Ancient Greece

Well, I appreciate the offer, but that would entail leaving Tucson.  Tucson loves me, and I love it.  Forever.

You should come to Tucson.  We have ruins, too...Only they are the ruins of the American dream.

I will come to Tucson to visit you. If only you promise to make me a mega bacon cheeseburger.

dear humans,
that so spoken nazi symbol is either eris's hand symbol on my back, on top of a snake, or kallisti written on my arm, or the sacred chao inside my wrist, the 5 women star on the belly, or a butterfly on my foot.
so you tell me..
oh, btw, im from turkey, ankara,
not "dutchsland" .
anyway, i dont think im gonna be writing on the pd again, its getting me nervous and i dont like that.
some of you may think that i should change my ways, try to fit in,
well, i became a discordian so i dont need to fit in.
oh well, words become more and more meaningless after some point. now this is one of those moments.
for those who are my friends, thank you for all your support posts, they really saved many many days of mine. you made me so very happy.
i just stopped by to say if any of you want to reach me, please feel free.
and i promise not to curse your asses off until you run away screaming.
i got my contact info on my pd profile, i also use gmail msn which would be purpleristar@gmail.com
thou im not a hardcore user, i also have facebook - purpleris discordia
well, i guess this is it,

so long..

sincerely,

hail eris all hail discordia!

You know, that sounded sincere.


Probably won't change anything, but at least there's a touch more clarity here.

probably not with others, i dont expect that, but with me, i feel much better now. 
thanx mate..

is this the post that you're talking about?

Dear Calamity Nigel and E.O.T,
your avatars are very ugly.
are you ugly too?

yours sincerely,

love purpleris, kffc

Why do you hate black people?

That's one of 'em. Doesn't help that I couldn't stand the little git already.

dude, i swear on my lady, i didnt know you were black, or others, i didnt know, i dont know you man, how else i can put this?
its just not possible that i wrote anything about colors because im not a racist.
look, ive been feelin a bit down because of all this stuff, thinking where did i did a mistake and get all this hate. because i really am not a bad gelfling at all.
i wrote something for you but then i couldnt pass without explaining myself about this race issue either.

you know what?
youre right, very much, and im serious this time,
im an asshole bitch stupid gelfling,
my dumbest mistake was thinking pd will be like a Gelfling forest and that i could meet other gelflings, screw around, make some friends,  have some more fun, with brothers and sisters of my choice.
i was very much tired of people and everything,
i thought or i wanted to think whatever, that pd would be different. 
i didnt expect another human forest, i didnt think i would look strange or stick out like a freakin dick like that, not in the discordian society, seriously,
you think i dont know im not normal? i just thought i was with friends, after a long time of mind loneliness, i got too spoiled i guess.. but then i never really got out of this one thread,
im not a forum gelfling anyway, this was my first forum experience, probably the last.
again with all my sincerity, i really meant no harm,
im deeply sorry if i caused some.
yup, another mistake of mine is that i didnt take pd seriously. (what a crime)
i still dont, and i wont.
its not somethin specially reserved for pd, i dont take myself seriously either.
im happy like this.
thou i cant promise not to spout bullshit anymore, because it think its funny,
i can promise to do my best that my bull will be staying out of pd and make sure it wont go too much far from home sweet home: 'the immoral church of abnormality' ever again.

goodday, goddess bless,

yours sincerely,

-hail eris all hail discordia-
