Rene man I'm sorry, It was harsh abuse even for someone like you who is used to this. But reading this phony fuck again today, it blows my mind that you can't see this theatrical buffoon for the carboard cutout he is. He admits to being a total insensitive to abuse no wonder he has no limits when it comes to hurting people. Me too, I can be a little insensitive sometimes especially at home but his guy is using the distance conversations as a protective shield and license to say whatever he wants. To outsiders it must seem very real and just not worthwhile. I have seen this kind of display of forced sentiment and acting out before. It's part of our online culture which fucks up newbies [some of whom remain perpetual innocents] all the time. That's why metacrap or self-referential analysis to me means discussing the nature of a conceptual persona and how it makes art into an everyday life experience. The rules of engagement and conversation are different in this frontier culture where institutional authority means fuck all and those who are experimenting and tinkering with its potential show what it means to be a real free spirit. I respect this fucking goof more than you might imagine. Have ever since the "Let's follow Allen's example..." suggestion. That wasn't someone who wasn't intelligent and well read and a good writer. I'm not very comfortable around religious people and their visible institutions. Maybe it's the visibility of it all or the reification of reference around a fixed cannon, I don't know, but one thing I am very glad of is that I never had a relegious mother or environment and that has made the difference. I like religious discourse a lot especially the crossed variety that many of us grow up with today that doesn't have an institutional home and seems to be yet a homegrown experience of tinkerers, maverick amateurs of a free spirit that is formless and very much a part of the wild. The tameless and impossible to domesticate... this seems to me to be the mystery today. Jud said he is commiting his life to anti-Heideggerian studies. I let him go right after the last list scandal but you think you can change his mind, make him reason like you do, making him see *your* point of view. Everytime you do this he makes you look stupid and what is your response? You get all upset and start calling him dispicable and droping the ad-homs ad-nauseam. Leave him alone. He is not interested in thinking with Heidegger. Your denial of the situation that you are totally trapped in probably stems from the fact that it has been going on for so long. It's theatrical humor Rene. We are going to establish spiritual conversational circles that are innovative and that read Heidegger as the devotional and inspiring spiritual being that he was. If you are comfortable with this then you'll be happy here with us and a little less miserable.
