Skepticism is founded on knowledge and reasoning. Most cynics are skeptical of everything; why? Again, because they know! PS I am neither.

Llewlllwyd Dude, as you well know this is an English forum. My tongue hurts from trying to pronounce your name; those signature Welsh double ll's are just brutal. Even my sophisticated translation/pronunciation software breaks. With respect, I will have to refer to you as dude.

As far as insults are concerned, please point to me where I have called you "this and that" or said anything that is not factual, as far as can be determined from your posts. Putting for an eagle . . . and it's in the hole.

LlazarusLlong wrote: Muletta wrote: I took the time to read a bit further than just the thread title... Yes, the thread quickly devolved into multiple posters repeating the same advice, which they had cut and pasted from the curriculum of the course on "What to do on the basis of little or no information other than hearsay, but adhering to ambiguous instructions from authority, so that you cover your posterior" which is a core subject in the University of the Bleeding Obvious. I don't necessarily take any op's statements at face value - particularly because of the widespread semi-literacy here, and not only from ESLers such as yourself - and attempt to identify possible motivations, falsehoods, and personal agenda. Challenging the op is one tactic that bears fruit much of the time, as in the recent thread in which a duplicitous farrago of semi-truths had been concocted regarding the behaviour of someone who had supposedly hijacked an avatar. This time, it turned out that the images were NOT child pornography at all, but of yiffing individuals of, by definition, indeterminate age and maturity. But the thread title was an invitation to the pearl-clutching ladies who lunch to express shock and horror. And it worked; from your previous forum participation you are one of those hyperemotional types, and you rose to the bait, adding nothing to what could have been a discussion, as did the majority of respondents who treated it as a thread which (rightly) should have been in Answers. The approach shot . . .

I'm sorry to say I have not read any of his work. I just researched his bio, and again I am sorry to say I have not read his work. I will pickup a volume or two and give him a read.

ETA Oh, the hypocrisy!

PS I put $20USD on a horse last week and he came in at twenty five to one. Yay you may say, but the rest of the field came in at twelve thirty. Boo.

And here I thought I was the only one buying clothes for SL whores.

It is posted in General Discussion. It is ALL about you all the way down to 50 motorcycles and accepting donations. Almost every sentence you wrote in your OP was about you. And it is pretty insensitive of you to not say like this.

LlazarusLlong wrote: Theresa Tennyson wrote: Perhaps you're simply freighting the word "friend" with more significance than others do. It may be that Europeans imbue the word friend with more intimate connotations than our colonial outcasts, since the great geographical expanses of the USA, and subsequent necessity for mobility, has led to a diminution of the quality of "community" that the population density of Europe has engendered. In that context, it is the colonials who are the true "others". [Camus used the word "Etranger", and described exquisitely the sense of dissociation felt by those who had no real friends.] Friendship is a universal thing and an individual thing. Either you got friends or you don't. Either you want friends or you don't. The definition of friend is also universal and individual. My preference is to have intimate friends (to make, earn, and keep.)

The forums are really not important enough that quitting them should be necessary; and they are certainly not sufficiently important that anyone should find it necessary to return. Unless you're inherently contrarily refractory, of course. I'm glad you returned. The GD forum has never operated as it does today. You are a catalyst for discussion, banter, humor, and just plain entertainment. Thank you. For the first time in a long time I find myself reading and participating in the GD forum. Some other new voices, and old posters who have returned, are pretty cool, too. PS Do you have a preference or are you sensitive to how others should refer to you? I mean LlazarusLlong is just too many keystrokes.
