This is why people have been using the word "fundamentalism" over the last ten or twenty posts, btw

world destructor is pretty cool but i wouldn't rank it above pm dawn.
― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 00:42 (twenty years ago) link
I'd rank PM Dawn somewhere between Arrested Development and Talib Kweli.

"The classic example of this sort of phenomenon is with fundamentalist Christians, who will tell you that if you read the New Testament and didn't convert, then you "didn't understand" it."

Hey donut, I got it. Read what followed.I asked him to explain why he disagreed.
Are YOU having trouble reading?
― ddrake, Tuesday, 18 November 2003 00:52 (twenty years ago) link
Well, but what you said was: That he wasn't displaying any knowledge of having comprehended the book
That's fundamentalism. What he wasn't displaying was that his knowledge conformed to yours.

Remember, Ned, than when anyway tells you "ned, seriously, fuck you", they mean love and bunnies.
― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 00:55 (twenty years ago) link
ONCE again, another bullshit "hahahahaah I'm so funny" comment by Ned, instead of actually explaining or arguing any sort of point here. Assuming one portion of my argument that isn't accurate, reposting it over and over again....oh yr so clever.
Fucker.
I got yr point smartass. And my follow up was "so what was it that you disagreed with."
― ddrake, Tuesday, 18 November 2003 00:55 (twenty years ago) link
I ALWAYS assume that, DB. And when somebody calls me a 'fucker,' it is only out of the spirit of agape as the Greeks spoke of.
― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 00:56 (twenty years ago) link
I told ned to fuck himself in response to a cavalcade of personal insults he'd already heaped on me in this thread. Wise ass remarks, etc etc etc

Nope.
Or, perhaps I'm asking for him to clarify what it is he doesn't agree with? Which would have been a relevant thing to discuss back when I first mentioned the book waaaaaay back in the thread. But it was much easier to take the easier way out and personally insult me for another 400 posts.
Sounds like you dodged J0hn's point -- then whined and bitched and hyperbolized about how you got insulted... again.
Have we SERIOUSLY come to the kindergarten era "You started it first" argument, now?

You're dodging the issue! The subject isn't Blues People at all! It's that you took issue with being called a fundamentalist, and, q.e.d., the relevants quotes regarding your fundamentalist attitude have been shown! I am sorry if you took my last post to be smart-assy, I didn't mean it that way.

The hypocrisy of people calling ME out for acting like a child after what went on for the majority of this thread is baffling.
The fact that J0hn still refuses to answer this:You're dodging the issue! The subject isn't Blues People at all! It's that you took issue with being called a fundamentalist, and, q.e.d., the relevants quotes regarding your fundamentalist attitude have been shown! I am sorry if you took my last post to be smart-assy, I didn't mean it that way.
So your purpose in this thread is to get me into some sort of logical trap? See, I thought it was the actual issue we were discussing, which WOULD be Blues People.

J0hn, "biases inherent in my approach to discourse"? So what are you saying, I'm not arguing correctly? Excuse me. In the meantime, lets avoid the point of what I'd been saying by attacking the way in which I argue, even though clearly this point is irrelevant to my argument as a whole.
― ddrake, Tuesday, 18 November 2003 01:09 (twenty years ago) link
BECAUSE NED HAS NOT READ THE BOOK AND IS NOT OBLIGATED TO READ THAT BOOK NOR ANY FUCKING BOOK THAT YOU'VE READ BECAUSE ARGUING ON THE PREMISE OF A BOOK THAT ONLY YOU'VE PROBABLY READ MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A FUCKING SNOB AND A VERY FRAGILE DEFENSIVE SNOB AT THAT
