I moved the thread to a more appropriate forum.



I won’t interfere anymore with the real purpose of this subforum - lobbing **** over the wall at non “progressives”.

craig,

You don't have difficulty in this forum because of your political views. You rarely discuss politics, and I'm not even sure what your political views are.

I'm not quite ready to give up on the idea that politics, economics, international relations and more are not the culture wars, but it's hard because that seems to be what almost everyone thinks.


old site is lagging/buggy and new site is really annoying.
idk where to put feedback.

we need go to top at the bottom of pages.

*shrug* If you don't like my peaches, don't shake my tree.

I didn't. You interjected with your trolling, then I told you I wasn't interested in your trolling and found it particularly sad at your age. Try to keep up.

by King Spew m

I always categorized his trolling as above-par.

Eh, I've seen far better. The old IMDB boards had some great ones. And some really disturbed ones too. Like this guy.

Ah, good times.

1979 song lyrics don't exactly disprove your old man (troll) status here but I chuckled.

His neighbours literally didn't know he existed he was such a recluse. He used to send me weird Pm's ranting how "brilliant" he was. Everyone on the IMDB Horror board were pissing themselves laughing when news broke of his arrest.

Or maybe pointing out that literally all men are trash is an incorrect and dumb option.

Won't argue there. I was just trying to figure out CN's logic, and her response to one of CRD's posts gave me that idea, but I didn't read the whole discussion. Looks like it's more about power structures.

The problem with Craig's thread (more of a comment, really) is that it presupposes certain views about gender, and a lot of people will disagree with those, and it will go nowhere, but discussions like the ones he tries to start are more interesting than most of the stuff on here.

A thread for political philosophy and things like the role culture or whatever plays in politics would be cool.

This is one of those stories that genuinely feels both sad and funny. Reading through his online personas and laughed when I saw European88. I'd really like to have a conversation with this guy ... Maybe I already have.

You may have missed my point. I agree that craig seems more interested in "Society" than "Politics." That's fine imo. I started a thread on AI. But I don't think that preference is why he has problems in this forum either.

Is it because he is a freak and a weird dude?

Not exactly this either. There are several weird people here who have an easier time than craig.


It is because most of his posts are word salad without any real meaning.

Nonsense, you are just a heathen and an ingrate incapable of appreciating the depth, wisdom, and insight that Craig deigns to benevolently bring to this forum. You must be one of dem progressives.,

Now we are getting warmer. Most people dislike when deliberate ambiguity and opacity are presented as profundity.

Oh, it's not circumlocution, he genuinely believes that it's profundity. And, as you yourself perspicaciously pointed out a while back, he appears simply incapable of communicating in a way you and I would consider clear and concise.

How did that word ever come into existence? I assumed that it was made up, but apparently it is a real word.

This. I was also shocked to discover not only a hit but a definition upon Googling it.

noun: floccinaucinihilipilification
the action or habit of estimating something as worthless.

mid 18th century: from Latin flocci, nauci, nihili, pili (words meaning ‘at little value’πŸ˜‰ + -fication. The Latin elements were listed in a well-known rule of the Eton Latin Grammar.

Jal, where on earth did you hear this word?
