Maryjane Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Frankly, I hardly understand what you are trying to tell me. You write such complicated comments that actually, it's no surprise that they can be easily misunderstood. But we should leave it there -- I'm not interested in having lengthy philosophical discussions about an actually pretty simple problem. ......Well~then just don't judge people randomly with your standards.

Olympian2004 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 ......Well~then just don't judge people randomly with your standards. Those are not my standards alone, but the standards of the whole forum -- to speak freely but also to accept other users to speak freely! Simple as that -- and no reason to use game theories or other overblown explanations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So becuase I am using ''overvlown expanations'', I am not supposed to speak freely in order to match the standard you still couldn't give me any explaination about. Ok, you said no reason, then I shout my mouth for you for your ''no reason''. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, you said no reason, then I shout my mouth for you for your ''no reason''. Wow, you're absolutely a master of putting words in other people's mouths. Or of twisting the words of other people. You can theorise as much as you want, but as long as I don't understand what you're talking about, your theorisations will be a monologue only and thus pretty senseless. Yes, I think it's pretty odd that someone makes a big theoretical debate out of an actually very simple problem. But that doesn't mean that I forbid you to theorise.
