Crazy-ass Attention-seekers

[TSBU]

why do people answer to threads when they think that the purpose of this threads is just seeking attention?

There are various reasons. Sometimes it's to explore the insanity in search of greater understanding. Sometimes it's to try to alert the person to how messed up they are. Sometimes it's for having as much fun as possible with it.

A very few. I bet most of times it is for the same reason which caused the first post. Also, insanity (or stupidity) is a matter of perspective. Probably the one who start the thread feel the same about the answers.

Why do they abuse (or try to do so) when they get nothing by doing it?

Sometimes I think "abuse" (good-natured, of course) DOES result in getting something from it (as described above).

Well, if you think that feeding trolls is the best way to treat them... It's our choice. When somoene is seeking for attention, if he don't get attention, he won't do the same.

Also, I think there is dignity in say what you think if you are really thinking it.

Hmm... I don't know about that. There are some very "undignified" people spewing all sorts of crazy stuff they believe.

Yes, everybody. I don't tend to use the word "crazy", but uing your words, I see... "crazy" to think that there is an objective method to measure how crazy a person is. It seems like you just think like majority and someone who doesn't think that way, is crazy for you. Well, most of people do "crazy things" for me. "Crazy" people in your perspective, doesn't mean that they are "crazy" in their own perspective, nobody can be that way.

What do you mean by "self-absorbed", can you explain that a little deeper? I can't understand that.

Focused on themselves alone... instead of considering the impact of their words/actions on others. Listening only to themselves. Talking AT people, rather than WITH people. Intoxicated with what they think, as if it is the only truth in the universe.

Nobody is that way. There is a difference between listen and understand. I usually talk "at" people, specially in internet, cause I can't talk with people (if you go to Franceand you can't speak French and they can't speak English, you'll feel something like that). I can't understand what is being "intoxicated with what you think", but every person in this world consider "the best truth" the one they are using to live. It can't be other way. Do "normal" perople talk with that "crazy" people or "at" crazy people? How can be that measured no matter what perspective? retoric question, my self absorved answer is "it can't".

Well, now I see better what do you mean, I think I'm going to other posts, thanks for the answer.

Well, if you think that feeding trolls is the best way to treat them...

Did I say that? No, I didn't.

I showed the courtesy of answering your questions, and it seems that you just want to tell me how wrong I am, and judge me, and then blow me off. So... is that YOUR posting style? Interesting.

Also, considering that (as you said) there is a communication challenge between you and other people... and there are lots of things you said you don't understand about what I said... maybe you shouldn't be coming to conclusions about what you think I'm saying or what you think I'm about.

Obviously you are not the attention seeker we took you to be!!

I am not an attention, never mind the rumours! In truth, I'm probably closer to an inattention.

When have I ever sulked?

Once more I must ask you, are you taking the piss?

Apparently yes.

Apparently yes.

Are you able to provide anything to back up your "yes" response?

Well, for one thing, my response was "Apparently yes."
You wrote that my response was, "yes."

There is a difference. Explaining philosophical distinctions in anything isn't worth the time to someone either taking the piss, or awfully green.

Magnify and amplify this throughout the matrix of understanding and pragmatically (cost (in time and attention) to benefit ratio), each has the same effect upon possibilities, given that you're likely an adult.

I did NOT write that your response was, "yes". If you read what I actually did write you would have noticed that I wrote a question asking you if you were able to provide any evidence to back up the "yes" part of your response. I purposely wrote it that way. To make it obvious to others how easily you can and do read wrongly into what I write. Are you now able to notice the difference from what you thought/believed I wrote to what I actually did write?

There is a difference.

The actual difference you are alluding to is in your wrong interpretation and your inaccurate response.

Explaining philosophical distinctions in anything isn't worth the time to someone either taking the piss, or awfully green.

Or, you are unable to explain the distinctions or you do not want to explain. I think it will become obvious that there is far more truth in the former one.

I have asked you if you had any evidence or anything to back up your assumption that I was taking the piss, you have not supplied any. Therefore, your attempt to use the excuse above for not giving an explanation is totally weak beyond any reason.

By the way if I am awfully green, then that is certainly no reason to not give explanations, and not provide answers when being challenged. That shows your in abilities more than anything else, to Me.

I think we come back the former reason of you not being able to. But obviously you could prove what I think is the case wrong. Up to you now.

Magnify and amplify this throughout the matrix of understanding and pragmatically (cost (in time and attention) to benefit ratio), each has the same effect upon possibilities, given that you're likely an adult.

And, using language like that does NOT do anything to further you, and your superiority views of yourself over Me.

Readers will only wonder why you came into this thread, at this time, to make a comment and give the response you did in relation to Me here.

Could it have anything to do with you NOT being able to, or not wanting to, answer just one of the many questions I have asked you in another thread? I am challenging you about your belief that EVERY movement of the human body is because of 'need', yet you can not or will not provde anything, just like you are now doing here.

Hey there. Covering the low odds of another possible motive, I’ll venture to say that I don’t have the answers to explain your lack of understanding and your needs that sprout from that.

However, considering the possibility of earnest inquisitiveness about all matters concerning you, like most folks I have found that contemplation in different locations at different times of the day and night can influence comprehension. You may want to try that.

Also, when you think about what you read an interesting phenomenon occurs. You can return to the material at another time, multiple times, and you may find new insights into what you have already read. It’s not that the words change. It’s not that your capacity for understanding changes. What changes is the degree to which your attention is distracted from the material. Less distraction, greater comprehension.

Also, one sees reflections of the words in the reality of life in-between reading contemplations, so when you return to what was previously not understood, fissures in the unblemished monolith of ignorance may appear.

Anyway, enough of that. Since I’m done with the topic of you don’t understand, then if you feel commanded by a need strong enough to cause further movement of mind and body directed towards the topic, then look to that motive force to understand why, if you must.

I love it when two Forum Crazies finally find each other.
There is another thread with Bob and Bill - priceless!

Beware:
Just so much honour, when thou yield’st to me,
Will waste, as this flea’s death took life from thee.
