What Bill did here, it seems to me, which made it kind of abstract, was to take consciousness to its ultimate empathic conclusion, that is, to a much shorter and intense wavelength when considered within the context of spectroscopy. In any event, it's not an easy thought to convey but that doesn't ...

Have you had much success?

Have you got nothing better to do than respond to stupid posts?

Well the problem with digital irony is that it does not always work with just words It wasn't irony, I was just being meaningless and stupid in order to conform to the OP's assertion. I'm not really sure what "digital irony" is. In what way is it different to analog irony? Plus you also w...

I just made that up. I never expected anyone to be silly enough to respond to it.

. Actually, I just re-read this original post of mine and I am completely impressed. Can't believe I wrote this. May be one of my best quotes. Fuck you. You are not supposed to understand this. Hide.

Do you agree?

There's no point in having an opinion about it.

If not, why not?

Yeah, feathers, that sounds like something you'd be very knowledgeable about. Bob, I've tried to make something out of this exchange between you and me but you just don't seem to have enough imagination to make it entertaining. I don't suppose you can help your addiction to attention seeking but yo...

Fortunately, being attacked by you is not unlike being assaulted by a feather duster.

So you responded to them because you're not interested in them?

You, my friend, are one of the hoi polloi whose opinions mean absolutely nothing to a prophet. I don't know if that's true because I'm not really sure what a prophet is. I know it's a biblical thing but that's not really an area I delve into very much. You, however, spend far too much time respondi...

No, I'm suggesting that being considered a knob head can't be what you want, surely. It's almost as though you're proud of being one.

And don't you mind what people are calling you?
