I realize I'm not a Hemingway or Choprah or any of those famous peeps who wrote stuff, but I think their writings are no less from their psyche than mine, wouldn't you say? Your saying that what I wrote makes you laugh feels very much like you're minimizing and even dismissing the sentiments behind my words. How could you not know that's what your words would do? Should I be ashamed for laughing at your words?

Should I be ashamed for laughing at your words? That's for you to decide. I say no. The distinction between you and your words is one that has been and will be continually directed toward your attention here.

I don't think he's telling you to zip it. I think he's trying told hold himself back from guffawing the largest guffaw he's had on the board. That smiley you responded to as immature is right out of your playbook, Silver. The term "argument" is from philosophic discourse, not from emotional fighting. Q has been putting forward an argument that the experience of self doesn't happen until the thought arises that one hasn't been paying attention and now they are paying more attention. All of your complaints about my behavior.... Are ... Well ... Humorous. To be perfectly clear, I didn't post "Yes, I did" to imply that I thought he was telling me to zip it. You've heard peeps make some sensational usually humorous zing and someone else will say no you didn't as in meaning no, you didn't say that and I was saying yes I did, so you took it all wrong, not surprisingly. My playbook - pffft I wish your photos were - humorous. They're just unintelligent.

That's exactly the way I took it ... but the self-contradictions embedded in, and the lack of self-awareness exhibited by the words was rather stunning ... and yes ... humorous.

What do you see as contradictions and lack of self - awareness? (yeah, I realize I'm asking for it)

What do you see as contradictions and lack of self - awareness? (yeah, I realize I'm asking for it) As top said, you criticized him for putting up pics ... now I will agree that you are a bit more judicious in the LGP thread. That thread is some great content Carol ... and that's where the lack of self-awareness comes in: that thread is incredibly playful ... so do you see how engaging topology ... of all people ... with the characterization of immature is a bit of a self-contradiction?

Still, it's the context. The LGP thread is entertainment - just as words can be used to taunt, bait, poke, so can pictures and I'm quite certain that Top has used them in this instance to do just that. Totally different (apples / oranges).
