I only feel bad when under the influence of my other Shordurpersav who
requires unreasonably high ethical standards.

Surprisingly, horses are excellent swimmers!
Thats how they make it to Assateague Island
And elephants, too!
But surprisingly *not* Hippos, at least that's what I hear...
Except there are pachydermata on Assateague Island, but not
pachydermata like the Elephant.
I think it's the drugs.
I am reminded of the Wizard from the Wizard of Oz having to hide

I wonder what drew you to this thread.

"Rev. Ivan Stang" is the Wizard whereas Doug is the scared little man
hiding behind the curtain.
It is okay to be yourself.

Your remark is illogical.
The majority of ars posters are enemies of Barbara Schwarz and defame
her regularly.
If going into someone else's yard and kicking the "underdog" of the
group is entertainment to you, then I pity you a bit.
Doc Martian took the other approach. He went into your yard and began
kicking around the top dogs. Now everyone is yelping and whining.

My point was that I think Doc Martian presents himself the way he does
because he's a fucking dumbass.
You seem to be attributing more meaning and intelligence to his
motives than I think actually is there.

You took an ordinary observation and made it extraordinary. Oh wait. I
mean you made it absurd.
You know, the church isn't *all* a joke. But you can't appreciate the non-
joke part until you *get* the joke. It's a very *involved* joke. Ivan
Stang as Wizard of Oz behind the curtain fits in very well with the
"joke".
JOE!
No, honey.
"Dirka dirka."
Shall we dig up your habits on ARS?
Did you cross-post to ars with the hope they would come to defend you
from me?
You seem like a confident person the rest of the time. Why do you need
others to fight your battle of wits for you?
He's a Nun?
The "soup" (to use a metaphor) is prepared with too much salt and
spice.
A book with blank pages. That's subtle.
Sometimes subtlety can hide even in highly spiced foods. Of course if you
don't like the spices, then you'll never find the subtlety. It's not
necessarily an acquired taste, it's probably one your born with.
Because when you sci-fags fight its like watching wrestling, fake as
shit but funny as hell.
I pointed out why it was absurd, if that's what you mean.

Suppose nothing else were "given" as real except our world of desires and passions, and we could not
get down, or up, to any other "reality" besides the reality of our drives--for thinking is merely a relation of
these drives to each other: is it not permitted to make the experiment and to ask the question whether
this "given" would not be sufficient for also understanding on the basis of this kind of thing the so-called
mechanistic (or "material") world?...
Suppose, finally, we succeeded in explaining our entire instinctive life as the development and
ramification of one basic form of the will--namely, of the will to power, as my proposition has it... then one
would have gained the right to determine all efficient force univocally as--will to power.
The world viewed from inside... it would be "will to power" and nothing else.
from Beyond Good and Evil, s.36, Walter Kaufmann transl.
:: Currently listening to Love Is Green, 1976, by Jeff Beck, from "Wired"
I second that.
On the contrary, you took the ordinary observation and exaggerated it
until it became absurd. Then you took the absurdity and presented it
to me as though that was what I had written in the first place.
What I find interesting is that you assume your other readers will not
judge you harshly for this dishonest tactic.
I'm another reader, and I agree with Cosby. I've never known him to be
irrational.
You compared Stang to The Wizard of Oz.
That was the "ordinary observation" which I dishonestly made absurd.

I'm beating your ass to Joe Cosby. ASSHOLE!
:: Currently listening to Piano Sonata in C-Minor, 'Pathetique' - Adagio Cantabile, 1798, by Beethoven, from "Piano Sonatas"
I started out by examining the similarity between the Wizard of Oz and
the Rev. Ivan Stang. Zapanaz exaggerated this similarity by making it
into a complete equality when he wrote: "...they must be exactly the
same in all ways."
That is irrational.
Stang is a persona created by Doug to hide behind. This arrangement is
equal to the arrangement used by the Wizard of Oz. However, the
equality ends there.
They are not "exactly the same in all ways". That was absurd.
Perhaps you failed to read between the lines. He was mocking you because
your metaphor was so off base. Rev. Stang doesn't manipulate anything. He
writes books produces a radio show and does other sundry things involved
in maintaining a joke religion. We are not under his authority in any
way. There are people who don't get the joke and are offended by the way
they are treated by people who do get the joke. They try to get even by
making themselves obnoxious on alt.slack and probably in other ways that
I'm not aware of. If you spent more time reading alt.slack you'd realize
this. I'm not even sure why you are here.
Not according to you. According to you, Stang must be a scared little
man, like the wizard of oz, because he's like the wizard of oz in
another way.
>They are not "exactly the same in all ways". That was absurd.
But the analogy you actually drew was completely out of left field.
There is no reason to assume Stang is a "scared little man" except
because of the comparison to the wizard of oz. There is no logical
connection.
So if you are going to throw one similarity to the wizard of oz in
there with no logical reason, you might just as well throw them all
in, which was my point with "the same in all ways".
You threw the one in without any criteria at all, and so you might as
well throw them all in.
