Re: Why Isn't "Inconvenient Truth" Closed?
The last month on this board has consisted of you and Holmes bashing your heads against the damn walls.
I have not enjoyed this experience and I am not wanting it to continue. I realize I made a huge mistake trying to argue things out with him in those earlier threads, I apologize for that behavior, and will try not to let it happen again. On the flipside I'm not sure what else I am supposed to do now.
Not talking to him still results in replies from him as well as accusations about me in other threads (like this one). What's worse is he then uses my lack of taking his bait as a reason to doubt me and believe him (I am not defending myself).
Perhaps you (and others) can give me a suggestion, suppose someone was saying the same things about you. What would you do about it? I am quite serious with this question as I am trying to find a solution, and you don't even have to deal with the specifics of this case.
Is it better for me to ignore such accusations, or am I better off saying nothing? Maybe trying to present my case in a neutral form?
Again, I am seriously seeking guidance here for my own behavior. I am feeling compelled to defend myself, or at the very least explain myself, but realize it may feed a cycle. I need an outside perspective/suggestion.

Re: Why Isn't "Inconvenient Truth" Closed?
point put simple--there's no need for the fight you all got into. Crash comes of as immature at times, and yes, your posts are really long (as are RAZD's quite a bit).
as to advice--I don't know. It's impossible for one to present his own case in a nuetral form I'd say--so leave it to adminPD. generally, I find it easier to ignore insults--unless they hit below the belt.
don't listen to my advice, I've no clue. I just want you two to quit fighting, and crash to quit his crusade. let someone more coolheaded than me offer the advice.

Re: Why Isn't "Inconvenient Truth" Closed?
Holmes seems to put too much effort in trying to mimic the writing style of german philosophers and dances (naked) around the points that he seems to want to not make.
Heheheh... well I apologize for my writing style. Its something I am also trying to work on. It was developed by writing and/or reading lots of philosophical, legal, and scientific papers during my education and work.
Perhaps I was damaged by reading German philosophers, ironically I hated them.
I will say I don't mean to avoid making a point. I have a problem with trying to over explain.
If you have a suggestion for improving my writing style, please let me know.

Witching Hour Folk.
And the subject is ended.
DO NOT carry this over into the new thread. To all participants. Get over it.
