Noe, to Poe is to either take advantage of Poe's law or use words like "tintinnabulation".
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Oh I don't think it's himself he's parodying, however I agree, when he's on form he can be very funny. I assume the intent is that of satirical reflection but if he's genuinely serious (which I have never been given any reason to assume) then the joke is even funnier.

And I'm afraid watching people getting their panties in a bunch with him almost on cue is even funnier and has been for years.

I couldn't pass an opportunity to say "tintinnabulation"! I'm rather fond of that word. :biggrin:

Actually, personalities aside, I would be happy to see more Seth's here. This community lacks diversity. Though I haven't visited enough forums to actually compare it to other comparable forums.

I think one Seth is enough for me... ;) But I do very much appreciate the diversity he adds.

Schneibster is Shneibster, he's definitely not two Seths.
