Re: Metaphysics as an Error
Next to this thread there has been some correspondence through personal message that has convinced me to stay. I hope that this thread can continue on topic, regardless of how interesting a discourse on saggy tits might be..
Like I've said before, I hold no personal grudges towards anyone. My primary problem was - not as some have suggested a question of ego - but a distrust in the actions of the administration. My confidence has been restored, to put it shortly, and thus I'm ready to move forward. Thanks for the kind words.

For what its worth; no hard feelings.
Let history be satisfied with yesterday, and keep its hand off today and tomorrow.

An advanced intellect can consider fairly the merits of an idea when the idea is not its own.
An advanced personality considers the ego to be an ugly thing, and none more so that its own.
An advanced mind grows satiated with experience and starts to wonder 'why?'

But I would be much more interested in your opinions about saggy tits or who was the best between Kirk and Picard. I think you have much to offer in these important fields of study.

I just have a sneaking suspicion that Kirk's tits are saggier than Picard's. I could be entirely wrong, as I never really knew Picard intimately.devogue wrote:who was the best between Kirk and Picard

Those of my generation remember Kirk as he really really was (as in the Kirkness).
To us, Picard will only ever be what a replacement and big budget does to real adventure.

Glad you're back. You really shouldn't distrust the staff here. We can usually be relied upon to fuck up in the most novel and inappropriate ways with the very best of motives. Pretty much the most one can expect from any management.

Now, I've heard there's an oak tree with a dodgy epistem around here somewhere. Go paint some saggy tits on it, or whatever you philosophers do.

A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

Re: Metaphysics as an Error
By the way Compte, or Serpenti, or whatever your name is, - nice to see you back, you asshole you.
And I confess to writing one of the PMs to get you to stay. But only because I wanted a whipping boy who could give me a run for my money.
