Isolated 101.

Im well aware of how it can be received and not at all concerned about it. Perception is not truth.

Sorry for trying to get involved in the discussion. I'm clearly outmatched.

I'm obviously never going to get invited into this circle jerk. I'm too old and dense.

Carry on.

You're the same age as ****ing Occult Hawk and he's still generally better received in intellectual discussions. Maybe it's you.

But yeah you're denser than lead no doubt.

I'd like it if you (and others) were involved in more discussions, but you just completely took my question out of context and now you're getting defensive. "Wow" is not a contribution to the discussion and I did respond to the latter portion of your response.

The topics in this section are always controversial, and I understand that it's hard to convey a point via text all the time. As witnessed in this thread, I'm definitely not always clear. I just want people to make their best efforts to avoid fallacies and emotion. We've had some pretty good discussions lately that haven't devolved into flaming like they used to.

Me and Hawk are 180 degrees apart from one another, regardless of age. I've never proclaimed to be an "intellectual". I'll refrain from entering any further MB high brow debates.

You folks carry on. DMV is still way off the charts on this one no matter how hard he tries to high brow debate himself out of it.

YMMV.

It's a majestic creature.

Edit: Not you, Chula.

The only thing said in this entire discussion that even addresses my point is this comment, which I'm still considering:

If you think you have something of relevance to add, then say it and stop whining about being excluded. You might be right, but I have my doubts that you even understand my argument based on some of your previous comments.
