What occurred is you started being subtly and consistently nasty toward me. Why would you expect me to get along with you after observing so much of that for a while?

Either-Or Fallacy. If your implied suggestion is corrrect, then I should be having a problem with 8000 members of SW. The chemistry between any two people is its own unique third entity. It is a synergy.

I am not the dog in the simile. If you believe, by my calling attention to your behavior, that I am wounded by the unimaginative slurs emanating out of your adolescent curled-lip anarchist bravado, you are mistaken.. I would have to care about you or your opinion in the first place to be offended. I just wanted to be clear on the signals I was getting. I will soon cease to engage you entirely rather than the very rarely I have all along.

Oh yeah, and then there’s Thuryl. Kel is a pleasure to engage by comparison. That’s not meant to be sarcastic at all, as far as Kel is concerned.

Exactly what I want to hear from an obliging sociopath, since I can’t look him in the eye to see the malignant intent for myself. You just did put it on the table, though, so I got exactly what I wanted from you. My intuitions have not served me in vain.

The feeling is not mutual. I find you very amusing indeed.

Do you mean amused, like in the way that a juvenile deliquent headed for serial killer status is amused at how the dog squirms as he keeps sticking the knife in again and again?

Originally written by Synergy:

It takes so much work just to be perceived with some semblance of actuality, which in person takes a fraction of the effort, because there is so much more indication. What is clearly not being seen at present is that I am lacing everything I am writing with a degree of jocularity and silliness by my choice of words. And what I am seeing in response is literalistic, humorless interpretation.

Acting offended at obvious hyperbole doesn't do anything to make you seem less shrill.

It wasn’t obvious hyperbole to me at all.

quote:

---

It’s a flip way for me to lighten up a question that is of some gravity, my perception that you really don’t appear to like or respect me, which is fine. But I’d rather just hear you say it instead of making uniformly subtle, passive-aggressive derogatory statements only in reply to anything I write, as you have been toward me for some time. I’m not asking you to like or even respect me. Just put it on the table dude.

---

quote:

I’ll put this on the table. At this point, I see you as cheerless, virtually humorless, and ungracious, and somebody I would most definitely never want to meet in person. Way bad energy.

Originally written by Synergy:

I don't acknowledge any mistakes here. I acknowledge a statement saying that everything I was saying was circular. I would love to see Kel elaborate on every sentence and point I made to demonstrate how he believes it is based on circular reasoning. Short of that, it's a hyperbolic statement which I would have a hard time as seeing as being intended to do anything other than belittle my integrity.

---

quote:

---

And Thuryl, apparently you haven't been paying attention. It's not what you say, it's how you say it.

---

quote:

---

Speaking of which, I can't say I've perceived much of anything I'd call gracious from your camp toward mine for some time now, subtle and subdued though your style may be. Anything you want to declare to me openly?

---

quote:

Originally written by Synergy:

Kel, you misunderstand. I'm not angry at you. Your pinning "circular reasoning" on me in your opening comment felt very much like an outright attempt to insult, knowing the great value you place on reasoning.

Originally written by Thralni:

No, I don't see it. I think it's a perfectly fair question, actually. What I see in this topic, is that people want to have long, intelectual debates. So my question for you remains: if people wanted it so much, why didn't they make them before this thread was started, before somebody pointed it out to them?

Originally written by Kelandon:

I dislike the idea that there are things in the universe that humans in principle cannot understand, but I don't have any rigorous proof that no such things can exist. I find this answer totally unacceptable, but I can't give any good reasons why. I find, "We don't know right now, so let's stop thinking about it at the moment," much better than, "We can't ever know, so let's never think about it again."
