Yes I agree that "I think" is redundant. But I think I've already explained a couple of times why I do it anyway. A lot of people do not realise that it's implicit in the conversation. So to make sure that nobody gets angry by me "acting" as if my opinion is a fact. I make sure that the person...
If you notice in my posts. I never said that one should not give opinions without reasons. So I don't know where this is coming from. (Unless it was not directed at me of course)
But the thing is that when you sign up for the school you don't sign a paper that says "I hereby accept that the teachers will provide assignments that should be written the way the teachers want" -- At least not here in Denmark. I can't really speak for other countries, but I can say this; I...
Uh, why would/should I get banned? I have what, 1300 posts? I'm not saying that, that gives me immunity but if I the banning of me would be because of "trolling" You'd think that the troll (me) would have been banned like 1100 posts ago because of the fact that I'm a troll..
All I do by saying "I think" is to tell you that what I'm about to say is my opinion and not something I believe to be a fact.
The reason I do it is to make sure that the recepient of what I'm about to say does not take it as such. Many (including myself) get annoyed when other people say...
It's probably the way I write. I only remember 3 or 4 threads where I've gotten aggressive.
EDIT: I can see that "who the fuck are you to decide what the standards are?" could be taken as an attack. But that's my point, really. Why all this hassle over words? All I meant by saying fuck was to...
Bing.
That also doesn't say "We had to use logic and give supported claims without opinions"
I do realise that "scholarly writing" suggest no opinions. But my point was never, like I said, not; "It is alright to not bring sound arguements that are only based on your opinion" All I actually...
Actually, no, he didn't.
He said this:
They lack the ability to use logic, they give unsupported claims, mere opinions. They give no thesis statements, no reasons for anything and don't even address the question correctly. Their version of doing so consists of writing the question out and...
Right, okay. If we both agree that at least some use of 'correct' "grammar" is necessary then I don't understand why you were brining in things like making up new languages and such. I never said that.
WHat I will say, though. Is that language lives on people making stuff up. I relies on you...
Why are you acting as if I was yelling and screaming? You have done nothing to me. You haven't "upset" or "harmed" me, no.
What tone? I said "who the fuck gives a crap?" I did not call you anything, you're taking what I said personally. A paladin of the individual? I don't know what that means...
Have absolutely nothing to do with how I write or which words I use.
EDIT: Most of what you said sort of has nothing to do with what I said or what the OP said.
You talk about "unbiased truths" "seperating facts from opinions" Etc.
Nobody ever said that the paper had a requirement to be...
I really don't like this term "writing standards" Being frank, all I can ask is; who the fuck are you to decide what is "standard" And through that decide who does and who doesn't meet those standards. The only thing I can agree with is grammar and spelling. But the way a person writes is the...
I mostly agree with Cheese but I'd still like to point out that using "I think" or "In my opinion" is not a bad thing. Everything is subjective and thus based on OPINIONS.
Yes, it's implicit, but not everyone realises this and so you have to make sure that people know that what you're about to...
Re: Bird
Right, okay. But what about, what you said about creativity? (Annoying sentence, hehe)
Being able to be creative while there is harmony.
About arguing, that must have been in the context of people seeing what I do as arguing. I see what I do as debating. I think there's a difference...
Re: Bird
Yes, you gain harmony from harmony, you don't get any further knowledge.
Also, I never said "argue" I very specifically use "debate" because what I see a debate as, is a collaboration of opinions, views and knowledge that creates 'better' opinions, views and knowledge. ('better'...
Re: Bird
Both. Conflict of opinions is always good.
But I also meant in a wider sense. We gain nothing from living in harmony. If you live in harmony you'll do the same thing every single day.
Nobody lives in harmony.
Also, when I say "conflict" I don't mean war and killing. I just mean...
Re: Bird
I did not blow anything out of proportion. If you notice all I said, that bird said, was; that I wanted to fuck her dog. So I don't see how it's blown out of proportion.
What do you mean by this? I am not lashing out, I am not being irrational.. I'm only curious.. Objectively, cool-headedly, logically and calmly curious. Nothing more.
Damn it, thank you! Blessed be your soul and all that.
Really though I'm glad you say that, not so much because you confirm what I already believe myself but more because you can see that I'm not "lashing out" and that I'm not acting "irrationally"
I'll consider you on my buddy list from now...
Re: Bird
Sometimes you kick people because they cause "drama" -- You know when they have actual conversations about things of substance like me and Kevins debate on "insults" it's a very interesting topic if you ask me.
I don't understand what you're saying by this. I think I quite clearly was not going to reply not because I did not have an answer or because I didn't think anything needed further elaboration. But because I had not slept, was lazy and couldn't be bothered.
Sure, it's easy to ignore. But I...
Re: Bird
I'd disagree. And I'd also refer to what I also say. You do without a doubt have things that you are "passionate" about. We all do. It just so happens that I do not like it when people say I want to fuck their dogs behind my back. I respect people who can ignore that. But I can't. You...
Except MBTI is a little more specific and its around the double of those questions. I get your point though. But like many. I'm not on this forum because I'm way into typology. I'm alright with the "perversion of MBTI" I read that MBTI profile of an INTP and it fit perfectly. I'm an INTP. And...
Re: Bird
I can and will admit that I sometimes am "a bit too much" that I often take things serious when they are meant as a joke (but I will repeat that I do not think Bird intended it as a joke. I frankly think she intended exactly this to happen. For me to snap and make a joke of myself and...
Re: Bird
It creates creativity. When you my opinion/view/understanding of something/attitude/whatever (thesis) gets challenged by your opinion/etc. (antithesis) Or vice versa. We are both forced to thinking in ways we've not thought before and ideally that should give you a "synthesis" i...
Re: Bird
No, like I said to Awaken. don't think everyone would believe it and I would be banned from the forum. But like I've now explained many many times, lol. I said that could potentially happen. And I did not want that to happen, so I reacted before it happened, I guess.
I'm in good...
Re: Bird
"removed from the situation" anything removed from all context is ridiculous. I still fail to see how my actions are ridiculous though. I will admit (and have realised from the beginning) that I lack the patience that some others on this forum do. It's difficult for me to "roll with...
Re: Bird
I don't understand this right now. It's way too cryptic. I've not slept for at least 26 hours by now so I'll go to bed now, come back and hopefully I'll ve able to give you a proper reply =/
Re: Bird
What do you mean? I certaintly think it makes a difference myself. Why troll someone who's not there, in the chat. And hasn't been for at least 2 weeks (and wasn't going to find out until at week later) and why then kick that same person from a room he is not in.. Only further proves...
Re: Bird
I probably do, yes. Don't we all though? Hehe.
Baggage though? As in emotional things that have yet to be released? Or do you mean baggage as in just things that's happened and been dealt with but are still hanging around, like they always will?
That's your choice and not something I...
