Did it ever occur to you that different people might have a different understanding of Philosophy, other than your's?[/quote]That's very clear, and per definition they are wrong, as it's only cozy chat.

We humans like to define things, and we need people to enforce the rules, else we end up with people making up their own rules and twist words out of shape.
If we study simple things like language it has changed vastly over just decades, UFO used to mean an Unindentifyed Flying Object, not it means an alien space ship.
It's no different with philosophy, simple minded people doesn't comprehend the deeper meaning with it, and will only come here to cozy chat.

..sigh! One always learn something, but the question is if it's relevant, and if that knowledge is what one wants in the first place.

You know, philosophy means "love of wisdom", I cam here looking for wisdom, but there's none to be found, therefore what I've learned isn't what I've been looking for, very simple.
When people are ignorant of a thing they often resort to a bland literal or etymological meaning. Sometimes that can be helpful to them. (ahem!).

Thanks for the welcomes :D

Some of you I recognise from elsewhere, and despite what Hobbes' Choice has said.. I don't have balls, and I have never been averse to being moderated. :)

...and for those who have asked what brings me here... having more energy to allow me to spread my wings.

Your balls are metaphorical and you have left them back at ILP.

That doesn't really answer the question, but I assume it's because carlease has selected a new mod that really makes people sick over there.

I did answer the question... did you not like it? It's the only answer I've got.

I think you should check ScienceChatForum / PhilosophyChatForum (both names refer to same site). It has more philosophical and scientific content than all these cozy chat forums together.

Finally up and posting both on here and on PhilosophyForums... an indication of a turning point perhaps.

Please allow me to (re)introduce myself..

It's been a while.. I've been ill, but not so much now, so able to contribute to discussions once again.

I have recently joined a philosophy club, but I have been active on an online philosophy site for many years.

I am a freelance Project-manager in Advertising, but I am currently studying Web build, Wordpress, HTML and Adobe so that I can become self-employed.

I am spiritual not religious, and do not adhere to any one philosophical leaning
