Tidus44 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Perspicacious: having keen mental perception and understanding. I have to stop drinking coffee when I read those posters. http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l511/ffa1mf/Stuff/the-pilot-well-now-don-t-ask-don-t-tell-demotivational-poster-1264261160_zps6e2b7744.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidus44 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Dabbling a bit as I contemplate egression while exercising a bit of dissipation (mental distraction; amusement; diversion).Although it took a bit of effort, I managed to get Barnum and Bailey's trick of placing a sign "This way to the egress" in venues they wanted people to move through out of my head and concentrate on a forum discussion. A rather sad and rather disappointing experiment that reminded me of something I had read a while back and I have finally found it. The rules for posting to a forum. It is extremely important that you do not fully read other's posts. Nor is it critical to understand what others have posted. It is perfectly acceptable to read a part or misunderstand a post and jump right in with your own comments. It is bad form to ask a polite question if unsure of a post or its meaning, so again, jump right in with your comments, especially if you can be adversarial in doing so. Everything posted is a personal attack on you, be it your beliefs or life style or opinion. So be sure to take all postings as being as personal to you as possible and reply with an equally appropriate response. Additionally, once you have posted your opinion in the most controversial manner possible, immediately retreat from the discussion by indicating you have had enough or are unable to continue in the discussion for some reason that cannot be explained. It is critical to post comments or replies that demonstrate your ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical information, lack of respect for others opinions and/or inability to comprehend scientific reasoning or logic. The use of puerile platitudes is an accepted form, especially where banality will serve in place of originality, intellectual or thought provoking response. If possible, repeat previously discredited memes or steer the conversation to irrelevant, off topic discussions as this will be appreciated and focuses the discussion on your opinions. Be sure to create straw men, argue against things neither said nor implied and most importantly, take single or partial statements out of context and subjectively interpret them in order to point out all faults, especially and particularly in a manner that supports your opinion. Lastly, forgo all civility; you are, after all, on a forum, anonymous and safe from any retribution. Seems to be rather applicable to forum discussions.

Seems to be rather applicable to forum discussions.Consider with whom you are debating with..I've read the exchanges and was tempted to interject....wrote a rational thesis but regained sanity before I hit the post button. I fortunately remembered what that path leads to.... http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac177/Aurielius/hCE7BC374.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidus44 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Thankfully I am not on the "mop and glow" (hazardous materials spill response) team tomorrow. 2 days was sufficient for opportunity to fiddle around with a diversion as actual hazmat responses are extremely rare so I spent 2 days doing nothing other than satisfying a curiosity. http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l511/ffa1mf/Stuff/demotivational-poster-60662_zpsede2f19e.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
