That's nothing, you should try eating LSD and molesting unearthed cadavers. Now that's a bizarre combination.
More often than not, my form of sarcasm is just lighthearted poking & teasing and isn't bitter at all. But at times, of course, if I'm falling short on compassion and tolerance then it carries with it more of the unloving quality. When I'm being honest I can tell what's really going on with me.
I don't know, something tells me you have had more enriching experiences of fun than molesting cadavers while tripping. Travis
Havent most of us? I offered that scenario as a bizarre combination, not the highest form of having fun.
Damn, changed before I could quote you and put 'I dont know' in bold and say "the only truth in the entirety of your posts" Oh well, maybe next time.
The difference between what you would have done and what I did is that I whole-heartedly believed that "I'm afraid" was the only truthful statement in that particular post of yours, whereas you would have just been playing word games. But yes, keep at it. At the very least, playing word games with me will keep you out of those graveyards for a while. Travis
the thing about word games is that some think they're important, meaningful and relevant. and some even fail to recognize that what they're doing is nothing more than word games.
Do you ever find that your words of wisdom are sometimes so subtle as to render them almost inapplicable, simply due to the inability of the other participants in the conversation to fully grasp their meaning, or maybe at times due to a very nuanced undercurrent of evasiveness on your part? Travis
I figure those who are ready to see and hear, will, and those who are not will not be unduly challenged.
Oh, well in that case, I find context to be important when determining meaning in words. From a certain perspective, the entirety of my conversation with Relayer could be categorized as "word games". In the context I was using the phrase, however, I was making a distinction between adhering to an objective truth using words as the medium (word games) and twisting words in order to flatter one's own ego (word games).

Well let's see: over the course of this thread, it's been revealed that I have "spiritual myopia" and that I'm a virgin at age 26, and I've been referred to as a "douchebag" and a "tedious Vulcan". I think it's safe to say that my ego remains decidedly unflattered. But as always Blues, I greatly value your opinions. If you feel that I've unjustifiably "twisted" any words, don't hesitate to point them out. Travis
I won't. I leave the question for you to answer for yourself. It really doesn't matter to me either way. I prefer to play and enjoy the both of you, not look for every little ego distortion that may arise. Who cares, really?
