Well, then, I'm glad you think I'm sad and pathetic. (** muttley snicker **) you mistake what was referred to as sad and pathetic Well, then, I'm glad that you think anything is sad and pathetic.

It just doesn't make sense to me. I'm sure others here might get it. I just don't cogitate at that vocabulary level. FWIW, E does the same thing, once in a while, which may or may not be a factor in why you two get along so well. Uncommon definitions wreck me. Sometimes I find that I have to work to understand conversations between others that get deep. Sometimes I do that work, sometimes not. Figs sometimes spends alot of energy deflecting ideas that don't fit in with the fabric of a given meme that she's spinning -- I'm not saying that I'm always all that easy to understand, but a conversation between her and I has more than just that as a factor to the opacity of it. Yes, Figgy conversations can be complicated by their nature as one must either follow her brush strokes around with a cleaning rag, or explain why one doesn't care to pose for her anymore. The cleaning and explaining may seem more complicated than the picture she's painting, since the picture has coherence by design.

I think she's simply pointing away from dogmatic thinking, and in a vocabulary style that attempts to match the one she's responding to. In your case, that's quite a feat. I have to give her credit for that. I wouldn't even bother trying. SDP's autistic image thinking post has relevance here. You don't understand the conversation, but you do see the pictures Figgy paints, and so she successfully communicates what she wants to get across, and the counter arguments are dismissed as incomprehensible because they don't form a clear image. Nothing to fight about here, just thought it was interesting.

I have to give her credit for that. I wouldn't even bother trying. What you are doing here is spinning a meme. The meme under construction is "laffy is abstruse". One element of meme-spinning (what E' calls "portrait painting"), is repetition. The fact that you either can't or won't and haven't singled-out even one turn of phrase of mine as particularly abstruse reveals this for what it is. Sometimes I like to play with words and ideas for fun, and sometimes I do write complicated expressions of mind that aren't meant to be easily understood, but I'm always willing to explain them if someone asks. You don't ask. Instead, you simply repeat a mantra. It is a transparent expression of aggression, and frankly, rather sad and pathetic. I don't understand any of that, which only goes to prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that you are abstruse. If you were not abstruse, you would not be saying things in an abstruse way, which shows to go ya how abstruse you are. There's no point in responding because everyone can see how abstruse you are, and your response would be too abstruse to comprehend. I see why you get along so well with your abstruse club members, but your abstrusity can be seen clearly with a still mind. Drop your beliefs and you will see the what-isness of your abstruseness.

Most of your posts in response to mine and 'counter arguments' and generally I understand what yer driving at. There's just something about the way Laffy's writing hits me....I truly find his words confusing......and it seems, his posts hit B the same. Why do you say that B doesn't understand the conversations? I'd say he understands mostly. In my case, I'm he gets it....but likely does not fully agree...which is fine.

I think we're talking about different truths. I'm just talking about true vs false. Mostly, I'm talking about delusion, denial and self deception. I think the world IS a very different place because of those who are interested in that sort of truth.
