[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Dan: Oh, grow up. You get thumped a couple of times and all of sudden, its just not so funny.
Give me a break, Dan. You’re just irked at being exposed for throwing out some pointless faux intellectualism. “Megalomania is immature power sharing”. Really?
Let me guess. You were one of those guys that had the Che shirt, smoked Djarums and kept a copy of Camus’ “The Stranger” in the back pocket of his 501s, right?
Being accused of dullness by an unthinking member of the intelligentsia isn’t an insult, its a validation.
I would never joke about someone’s lost loved one, so don’t even stoop to making an accusation like that. I was clearly unaware and you have my sympathy.[/quote]
The only accurate part here is that I did smoke djarums in high school.
I really don’t think you can make (or believe) the claim that I am unthinking. But, like I said, you have underwhelmed me a lot recently.
Whether or not you agree with my views on dictatorship (or think them faux) is really immaterial. You are entitled to your views on that.
If it seemed somehow condescending or elitist that was not my intention.
My point is just that your arguments are noticeably less stimulating than they used to be.
That’s my opinion.
If I was to guess, I would say it is because they seem less focused in having fun with the subject and more about advocacy of some arbitrary polemic.
But again, the real point is that they are just less interesting.
