Sometimes, I do agree with you, just not this time around. Who's to say what accounts for agreeing or not? Maxy just made clear sense to me on this one. *shrug* Well, he makes sense if you assume that his point was actually my point. Which it wasn't. That was just a straw man he wanted to burn no matter what. That may be true, but perhaps there was a point that Max and me felt overrode (is that a word? lol) your point and needed to be expressed.

So Reefs used the term "meltdown" to describe 'leafs stated interest in this idea of "the fog". The association that immediately popped into my head was one of my all-time favorite tunes: Now the applicability of the tune in this context is certainly ironic ... but if you think about the state that occurs when we throw ourselves into debate-mode, when we allow ourselves to indulge in the madness of right and wrong, we sort of melt into the foolishness and futility of the battle. Sorry I can't listen to the song Laughter. But what you're speaking about here is exactly what I was enquiring about. Although I would say that where there is self-reflection there is no longer futility, in this way, experience becomes the teacher and the fool becomes the wise man.

No, there really isn't. It only looks that way if you're studying Figs' latest painting. Here's what I'm going on: You said " I believe I know you from another forum." That implies that you have a current impression of someone which matches to a memory of someone. In other words, you have a current image of someone in your mind that matches with a past image of someone. So then " I don't have an image about you from elsewhere" makes not a whole lot of sense. That's why I said the above. On the Figs painting theme, that's something you've brought in, unless you are implying that autumnleaf is Figs? What?? No, I'm not implying that. I've met lots of peeps on forums that I have no particular impression about. Is this something that only happens to me? Do folks naturally create impressionistic stories about everyone they meet in forums? I ask because I don't know.

Are you serious? Please tell me that you are just kidding! 1. In this post you higlighted every instance of autumnleaf's use of the word "war" (5 times out of 204 total words, or 2.45%). 2. In this post, I counted the number of times you used war (3 times out of 67 words, or 4.48%). 4.48% > 2.45% Using your metric -- the amount of times a word is used in a post indicates a person's focus -- it is easy to conclude that you have the greater focus on "war." I did add a density factor, dividing the number of each word instance by the total words used in the post. That seems fair doesn't it? My impression of you is that you have far too much time on your hands.

Probably the higher agenda is up there in blue. It's a criticism of your methodology which underpinned your point to Autumn. peace peace peace peace peace peace peace peace peace peace peace peace love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love peace peace peace peace peace peace peace peace peace peace peace peace love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love peace peace peace peace peace peace peace peace peace peace peace peace love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love I think my insanity threshold has been reached for now. Pretty foggy in here, indeed. Maybe the point to notice here is that the thread title may actually be LOAttracting some fog.

Suuurre ... ignore the whole conversation about 'leaf as a potential surrogate for Tzu', an idea that was explicitly projected onto E, and fits the characterization just as well. How do you know that that's what E' was referring to with the words "known other"? Was 'leaf explicit about that term before you took it to mean that? -- here, I'll save you the research time: the answer is no, she wasn't. Gettin' pretty foggy in here. Yeah, I as$umed she was talking about the Tzu incident, since that's what she went on and on about at the time. Then to my eye this latest figgles portrait strikes me as distorted cubist rather than a nice, soft impressionist.

Well, it's also possible that Figs misinterpreted what was meant by putting AL in a role of 'known other'. It's even possible that I have. So, I give her the benefit of the doubt on that.

Holy Crap E!! In all the years we've been conversing, I cannot recall you ever giving me the benefit of the doubt!..I'm gonna cherish this moment for a long time...maybe even become a little bit attached to it. ...
