I stand corrected. <BR/><BR/>A word on "anonymous" posters. I personally choose to remain a "black" name rather than a "blue" one for a couple of reasons. The most important one is because of the way opposing views are considered, or not, by the assemblage gathered here. I understand that there are genuine obnxious posters out there looking for fights, but when no one rises to the bait, they go away. My concern is with the people who come here in response to the mix of spirit and state, trying to get some idea of what is being stated and why. Remember that Bob is patently antagonistic. It's his style. He doesn't believe in soft-pedaling his philosophy, and after becoming better acquainted with his source points I understand why. <BR/>But it is as if he is standing on a rooftop shouting insults, then wonders why people come and throw insults back at him. This behavior shouldn't be hard for a coon to understand, especially since so many here claim to have stood where the insult-throwers stand. Yet there are "coons" among the regulars here who seem to delight in tossing rocks back rather than even attempting to offer an exchange of dialogue. What's the proof of vertical movement if you don't behave any differently than those on the ground? I submit that the proof becomes "self-righteousness". And I can point to abundant evidence of it in most posts. If there's a quality that stands out in the comments besides "wisdom", it's "self-righteousness". That's not a quality I'm trying to add to my palette. But it is a quality in abundance among many coons here, even though it is decried in the "enemy".<BR/><BR/>The second reason I post in black is precisely why I am here. I am free to explore without ridicule. I am considering new ideas, trying them on, wandering out into the real world wearing a different suit of clothes, if you will. <BR/><BR/>The hypocritical behavior (like I accused you of) often exhibited here really stands out to me. When a "coon" behaves like those closed-minded, high-minded people they "despise", it knocks the legs from under the concepts and ideas put forth here that I admire.<BR/><BR/>I'm a student here. I may not be a coon. Or I may. If I am, I certainly was before I got here and will be after I leave, and not because I join some close circle of like-minded thinkers. I study these concepts by choice. I could spend time on more like-minded sites than this one, but I choose to come here often, to see what I can learn. It is precisely because I disagree with some of the ideas put forth that I consider them so carefully. And in the considering, without ridicule, in the sanctuary of my own mind, I am changed.<BR/><BR/>Many here seem to be treading water, waiting for the time when they can zip out and zap some "troll". <BR/><BR/>I'm not impressed nor moved by that behavior, no matter where I find it. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your response to my own bit of troll-zapping. You've helped me to see myself as just another part of the same problem. The urge to pound on an opposing viewpoint comes from the same sour source, no matter which side of the line you stand on. I apologize for my behavior toward you, and do believe you have led me to effect a permanent change in my attitude in this regard.<BR/><BR/>It won't surprise me to have my response to you picked apart by the crows for inconsistencies or slips of the cerebral tongue. Sincerity among the unfaithful here is ridiculed. I'll stay in black.

It wasn’t meant to be and in fact it was meant for Van. So you sort of injected yourself into that brief conversation. I realize I said “everyone” but only because I try to keep my comments as short as possible out of respect for people’s time. By ‘everyone’ I meant anyone who read those pomo authors.<BR/><BR/>Your response was only hurtful but I can assure you I’ve received worse by smarter people. And not so smart people as well. But I won’t assign you to any categories because I don’t know you nearly well enough. But it is obvious you don’t know me.<BR/><BR/>But please read this for a moment in case you haven’t considered it. And this is meant to all the anonymous posters out there (good and bad) with all sincerity. When you post as Anon, your readers, because they really can’t tell who you are, just may as well include you in a single category as if you are just one big Army of Anon. The good anons are unfortunately grouped with the bad anons because we can’t tell any of you apart. I could post as Old Yeller and literally put words in your mouth.<BR/>So you should register for a blog name so this won’t happen and we can get to know you better.<BR/><BR/>Getting back to the point I was trying to make (which I’ll admit was not much of a point at all – more like an observation) was that I was sorry Van spent anytime reading those pomo authors – because even as he (and Bob says) they have yet to provide any meaningful value. I’ve read enough of what Van thinks and writes about books and authors to know without doubt how much he thoroughly enjoys his favorite ones. To think he traded time reading them instead of something truly enriching makes me sad. Because I’ve spent time like this myself on some useless books. I admire his determination to complete them. I don’t have that type of determination when it comes to books. But I see Van’s work did have value. He gets to speak with authority on the subject and steer others away from these authors.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10589423819039764711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-19535838665993241012007-04-12T06:36:00.000-07:002007-04-12T06:36:00.000-07:00Collecting twice on the same bet?!

The spiritual pilgrim is left with a disconcerting sense of nothingness, a sense of headlong free-falling into the abyss. <BR/><BR/>In the individual, this is, of course, a prerequisite to the birth of an entirely new, spiritual perspective. Make no mistake, though - before one acquires the new spiritual foundation, the sense of cosmic absurdity can really be overwhelming. In terms of spiritual-historical progression, I think there might be some links between this state and the meaninglessness of current po-mo. Or maybe a more authentic link might be made between the disintegration state and things like 12-tone music, the so-called Theater of the Absurd, Samuel Beckett, etc., all of which augured a kind of dissolution of accepted standard and form. <BR/><BR/>The disintegration state, however, is essentially a passive one. Po-mo is willfully aggressive. It's as if a satanic spirit appropriated the disintegration state, gave it a half-life, made it walk upright like a zombie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-83334043183469646672007-04-12T01:24:00.000-07:002007-04-12T01:24:00.000-07:00B'ob-I don't know if this will help with Reynauld,...B'ob-<BR/>I don't know if this will help with Reynauld, but who knows? <BR/>I have peripheral neuropathy and the only thing that helps relieve the symptons to any noticable degree has been Gabapentin (also known as Neurotin).<BR/><BR/>It takes awhile to get used to it though. <BR/>Assuming it can be used for Reynauld.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-65217963649252782252007-04-12T00:07:00.000-07:002007-04-12T00:07:00.000-07:00Are you using the computer generated PoMo puker?Are you using the computer generated PoMo puker?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-2542002003755559882007-04-11T23:55:00.000-07:002007-04-11T23:55:00.000-07:00line judge said...
