I can barely read it and would ignore it if it hadn't become an object of discussion here. I don't understand what the hair splitting is about. Maybe someone should tell him that a pagen is simply someone who lives in the country. It's about the level of discourse called for.

Never could read philosophy. (Ever notice that philosophers and founders of religions can't seem to have normal sex or family lives? And we expect them to give us good advise?) I much prefer novels.

earlier today on page 99 of the Confessions thread I wrote:A "Sock" is an eplaya identity that is not an actual real person (whatever that means in this context) but is a 2nd (or 3rd, or 4th or lazy8th) identity of someone who is already a member of the board. Socks can be very faithful "yesmen" who always point out how bright and wonderful the boss is, they can be strawmen who argue positions stupidly to show off the clear logic of the boss, they can be elaborate jokes (see woodrow and t4WoaA) or they can be well rounded aspects of main poster--like Isotopia.
I think that still holds.

take im down
perhaps, but doesn't that make me just as much of a tool?
anyway, the thing that set me off was the 'all burners are christians' bullshit.

I need strong drink to contemplate this

LOL. I've been accused of being a lot of things, but never a sock. And for the record, there's only one of me. Thank god.
