Your intentions are experiences that you wish to attract into your life. For instance, you might wish to meet your soul mate, gain a promotion at work, or generate a significant financial abundance. You can go about attracting what you want in various ways. A focus wheel is one of the most powerful methods you can employ.

acclaimed album vs. acclaimed album: what is the resultant paste?

Welcome to Jeff’s Place, the Jeff.Com version 3.0 web site.

Jeff.com has been painfully stale for most of its existence. That's not likely to change, but now after 6 years or so I've moved everything off my own server and onto Google Apps. So that makes this Jeff.Com version 3.0.

It took a while to get everything moved over from the old wordpress site to this new one, but all the old content should be under here somewhere except for a few things I decided nobody should care about. I'm sure old links are broken, sorry about that.

Have fun.

seriously though, how do you define who is a "good poster" and who is a "bad poster"?

or is this just another epistemology of coleslaw thing that's more accurate to say "I like this person" or "I don't like this person"

good poster = yay this poster
bad poster = boo this poster

i believe in moral philosophy and ethics this would be described as a noncognitivist view

so good = i like this person and bad = i don't like this person?

yes

for me, there are posters I think are good that I only "like" some of the time, and there are "bad" posters who seem like perfectly nice people, as in I don't dislike them, but I don't enjoy their posts, or feel like they contribute anything to what I read ... of course that brings up the question, that as I don't read everything everyone posts, I don't know for a fact that they don't contribute value to something I could have read, but didn't, but had I read it, I would think differently ... so really, I've recently adopted a greater agnosticism on the topic.

oh i guess you're right there are definitely bad posters who i have no reason to dislike or think they are bad people

and vice versa

what are the qualities of a bad poster -- is it just a quantity/frequency of bad posts? And is the definition of "bad post" relative to other posts or is there intrinsic badness -- though I think that's a false dichotomy. There are obviously things that are intrinsically bad, but is some "badness" relative?

there are lots of traits. some traits i see in myself - posting the same shit multiple times, posts which add little to nothing to the thread other than essentially noting that you exist and are aware of the content of the thread, making the thread about yourself or your beef with another poster, having bad opinions consistently and posting often.

haha

almost all of us have good and bad posts within us, tho the ratio tends to skew in one direction or the other. let they who are without sin cast the first FP.

I reject ur ludicrously high bar that can only serve to lower the general standard

go in FPeace my son
