Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 > so to who am i to think you are referring ..since the only hint you give is that they have " belief in demons,and what not " " > As i believe in demons and whatnot,,do you mean me too? Jesus Christ in a smoking birch bark canoe. Look, is going to call me a " troll " if I don't argue with you about your belief in demons, even though I really don't want to discuss it. For example, assuming you are a Christian here for the moment, do you believe in Zeus? I don't believe in Zues, or Appollo, or most of the Greco-Roman pantheon. (OK, I'll make allowences for Hekate... sue me). While I can't argue with any certainty why you don't believe in Zeus (for only can say with absolute certainty what the motivation behind other's actions is), I would suspect it for much the same reason that I also do not believe in Zeus, except perhaps as a metaphor or a ralying symbol of the Laconic peoples. Someone famous enough to quote, but not famous enough for me to remember who it was, ocne said, " I maintain that you and I are both atheists, only that I believe in one less god than you do. When you examine the reasons why you do not believe in other gods, you will see why I do not believe in yours. " Since I know that the " show me a demon " argument is a straw man, I'll only ask you to show me the results or actions of a demon, and show me in such a way that cannot be more easily explained by some other cause... cases in which Occam's Razor clearly says " this is indeed the work of the devil.

Your messages were absolutely consistent with troll messages, and it was not a stretch for me to call you on it. If you're going to call someone on this list an asshole for having certain opinions, you should be ready to support the statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just your general hostility, and of course your self-referential ideation. I've explained on another list, I don't make insinuations. I make attacks, but not insinuations. You may have noticed that I didn't say, " some people might consider me a troll, " or " because I don't wish to be considered a troll. " Instead, I said that you, , would consider me a troll. You started this, by faulty theory-of-mind attribution (and that is part of what makes you an asshole). I already explained that I dislike explaining myself on emotionally charged subjects. I'm not a demogouge... I'm not even neurotypical. Flourishing phrases that rally others to my noble cause is not one of my major talents. Libertarians are considered extremists, , in case you weren't told. Their minds break down when I corner them in the Same Old Shit - they prove themselves to believe in the equivalent of perpetual motion machines when it comes to " free market. " Why should I waste my time arguing socioecconomic philosophy with them, ever? That, and you make these HUGE jumps (leaps of faith) from what I say to what you WANT me to say. I say I'm suprised, you think I'm disappointed. What, has every supreise in your life been disapointing to you? You then twist and turn what I say around to suit your agenda. Admit it, I hit a nerve and set off your political perseveration. Your logic (and I know you have it... I've read your Autism Advocacy pages), went bye-bye while your emotions urged you on to attack me. And now you think you can just dismiss it by waving your hand and saying, " give it a rest " ? I'm using every social skill I can muster to find a better job. The only real slack I have is that at least I'm not also working on top of that... and I get a lecture about the evils of the wellfair state from someone who... oh fuck it, it's too silly to even point out, . No offense meant to the rest of you who are at least consistant in your political beliefs. Even if you're not working, I do believe you can contribute to society in other ways... and even if you can't or don't want to, I still believe you're valuable human beings. , when and if I ever get on SSDI, or simply retire, then we'll have all the time in the world to discuss politics. I know you're a selfish bastard who doesn't care about the comfort of others, only yourself. Sure, it looks great when you put it into terms of OUR comfort, as autistics, yet you have NO REGARD AT ALL for my discomfort in discussing politics. I'm not good at talking about emotionally charged issues, and I'm not good at resolving interpersonal conflict. I wanted to " give it a rest " before it even started. I explained where I was coming from, and you twisted everything into me being a " troll. " I don't know why, because unlike you I do not pretend to have god-like knowledge into the motivations of others, but you decided that I hated you. At the time, you were wrong. Now... now I do hate you. I didn't, but you wouldn't relent. Everything I said, you had to twist into your own perverse and paranoid paradigm. That, not your philosophy, is why I hate you. That, not your philosophy, is why I think you're an asshole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 ; Suicide amongst ANYBODY is NO LAUGHING MATTER AT ALL. When I was in 4th grade, I lost a loved one to it-(schizophrenia.) You were more than mondo beyondo tacky with your uncalled for commentary. was right. If this does continue, there's always other sites I can join without the existence of megaflaming. In the meanwhile, please refrain from this in the future. OK?? Wanda " The tribe has spoken...You must extinguish your flame.
