Unlike you, I prefer to contemplate the concepts within a thread title, plus, I caught clues that meditation is in the air. These are the relevant topics of interest. Unless you're a gossip or a low-level teacher, the topics of interest are not roydop, not you, not me.
We both focus on both people and topics, though here you couldn't even be bothered to read the topic, but you nevertheless want to make whining posts about me. And that you do both is clear in many of your posts to me, including the previous one and the one I am responding to here. And I notice you don't respond with this to Roydop who set the ball rolling in post 2 in this thread by insulting everyone because three days went by without a response. You might also notice that when Roydop is civil with me I discuss the substance of his post, as I have done on this topic in this or the other thread on this topic. IOW when some people make the focus on people, it doesn't matter to you. Even if they start the process and even more it is embedded in their approach. When others do, then you find interest in focusing on them.
So, your choices and what you focus on tells me more than your official position presented above. You don't actually have a problem with what a person takes as the focus. You are just another person defending team A and fighting team B.
You may continue on with your whining about what others do.
as you do.
You have my permission, and it's obviously something you need to do, for whatever reason.
Permission is an odd and irrelevant thing to bring up, but whining as you frame it is obviously something you need to do for whatever reason.
Along with jumping into discussions where you haven't even engaged with the actual topic.
However, I suggest you get with the program and contribute something relevant to philosophy, fella.
Which you've claimed to do but haven't in this thread. The afterthefact reference to meditation is also confused.
As said, when he's not insulting, I may critique him, but I do it on philosophical grounds, for example here....

Notice that I read his linked document there'.
So, why don't you deal with your own hypocrisy.
But, as you would say,
you have my permission (huh?) to go on entering discussions based on topics you haven't even read - despite the smarmy claim that this is what interests you - and whining about other people's behavior.
I may, of course, notice this and point it out.
