So, INSTEAD of READING and REPLYING to what I SAY and WRiTE, WHY do you NOT just put me back in YOUR LIST of those, who are NOT WORTHY of being LISTENED TO, nor HEARD?

"henry quirk" writes this as though someone CARES.

NO one CARES, and IN Fact what "henry quirk" is doing here is only PROVIDING FURTHER PROOF for what I have to SAY and CLAIM about how the Mind and the brain ACTUALLY WORK.

OF COURSE.

Was there ANY reason or NEED to express what is OBVIOUSLY Truly OBVIOUS?

If yes, then PLEASE EXPLAIN.

I am very glad you agree with me, then. Earlier posts of yours, for example the one below, seemed to indicate you thought putting people on ignore was wrong, per se.

I do not put ANY one in the, so called, "penalty box". This is because EVERY one is worthy of being LISTENED TO and HEARD. But most in here will NEVER KNOW this.

You seemed to be assuming that if someone puts someone on ignore, that person is saying no one should listen to that person, when in fact it is simply, for me anyway, a way of making it easier to see what I am more likely to find interesting and not to see what I tend not to find interesting.

As I said earlier in the thread we all do this in a variety of ways....

You might miss something. But each time you read their posts, you could be reading someone else's post. So, you are missing that. If you spend 40 minutes here, you can choose to cut out some of the noise, make it easier to avoid certain posters, not catch a phrase and get drawn (by idiocy sometimes) and focus on other people's posts. Yes, we make choices and we might miss something. But keeping their posts visible and checking them out ENTAILS that you miss something else. And what you have done is eliminate something you think probably has less value for you.

If I read a novelist and it was crap, I'd be less likely to read their next novel. Yes, it might be a work of genius, but I will read something else. Perhaps I do read the next and it's crap. Now I decide not to try again (unless I get told by people I respect that finally this person can write) and I read something else. I don't miss that other novel.

Everybody selects, even the people who come and take some moral/intellectual high ground here in a thread like this: Oh, I would never remove a voice. Everyone's posts might have value. Or whatever their take on high ground. But the truth is they are, in their lives, always selecting, and giving preference to make this person a friend and not that one - so they have conversations with this person much more than others and will miss out on other conversations - this director's films and not that one's, these books and not those, this news source and not that one and so on and so on.

So, their moral/intellectual high ground is just bs. They do it, don't think of it in this context, and like standing over others.

We all select what we focus on. Yes, it is fallible. But we have to select, even if we never select, that's selecting and it means out limited time is spent without trying to find voices, writers, speakers who tend to give us what we value.

If one selects 'I'll take whatever comes' well, you sure are going to miss something.

Now, one does not have to use the foe function to avoid certain people here or elsewhere. But if it makes it easier, why not?

Unfortunately, this is not a response to my arguments. It does not address the issue that we are always choosing and so perhaps missing THE MOST INSIGHT and INSPIRATIONAL INFORMATION, and that it is a strategy to increase our chances of not missing it that we ALL, including you, focus on some forums, articles, people, programs, books, writers, philosophers and so on and not others.

But you couldn't be bothered to address what I wrote and simply restated your position.

Let me make this VERY CLEAR.

I have NEVER disputed that adult human beings CHOOSE who AND what they LOOK AT and LISTEN TO. That they do this is BECAUSE they BELIEVE and ASSUME (in) some things being ALREADY true. But I WILL DISPUTE that 'you', adult human beings, CHOOSE who AND what to LOOK AT and LISTEN TO just IN CASE you MISS the MOST INSIGHTFUL and INSPIRATION INFORMATION.

If one was Truly OPEN, to NOT MISSING the MOST INSIGHTFUL and INSPIRATION INFORMATION, then they would ALREADY KNOW that 'that' INFORMATION could come from ABSOLUTELY ANY ONE, from ABSOLUTELY ANYWHERE, and at ABSOLUTELY ANY time. SO, they would NOT SHUT "themselves" OFF NOR CLOSE "themselves" OFF to, NOR from, ABSOLUTELY ANY thing AT ALL.

These ones KNOW that the MOST INSIGHTFUL and INSPIRATION INFORMATION or KNOWLEDGE CAN come from the MOST UNEXPECTED PLACES.

Sure, because you argue against using foe on the grounds that one may miss the MOST INSPIRATIONAL POST. You don't seem to understand that that is a possibility REGARDLESS. Or, you wouldn't make that argument.

Nope. A very self-serving 'observation'. I have always engaged with people I disagree with who can respond to points I make and make interesting points. In fact most of the people I have contact with in another forum I disagree with politically, but I find they actually
know better (in that forum) how to have a useful discussion.

SO, they would NOT SHUT "themselves" OFF NOR CLOSE "themselves" OFF to, NOR from, ABSOLUTELY ANY thing AT ALL.

Of course it could. I know that you repetitive wall. But I also know, after years of having the seemingly loving and deep position you have, that if I am picky, I get more INSIGHTFUL and INSPIRING INFORMATION ALL THE TIME.

See, to be confident in your self-righteousness, your smugness, that showed through in the first post you made in this thread and continues until you last....you need to avoid things, avoid again responding to the main point, avoid admitting that everyone including you decides to favor some sources and cut out others. You do the same thing. You could be on some racist forum, where everyone generally defends their racism, but sometimes writes about other things, even with some thought or warmth. But you don't go there. You CHOOSE to go to some forums over others. YOu spend more time with people on philosophy forums than on other kinds of forums. You choose to spend time in dialogue with certain people who become friends and not others who do not. You watch certain films and not others. Despite the fact that someone you choose not to be friends with might have told you the most amazing thing about life. Or certain kinds of films you avoid might have a scene that changes the way you think.

But if other people make choices you present yourself as the oh, so good, and open and.....bullshit.

Well, I already wrote all this. And your choice not to respond to that speaks volumes. You want this moral high ground so it is almost physically impossible for you to respond to the point where you would either have to lie or admit that you to avoid some people and focus on others.

And it's stuff like this that leads people to put you on ignore, and so back you go on ignore.

I'll probably check in again. or not.

But there are so many people's posts I did not read while responding here to your post AND THOSE POSTS I would guess are vastly more likely and certainly not less likely to be THE MOST INSPIRING POST I EVER READ. Yes, duh, your next one might be, but I, JUST LIKE YOU, make choices about where I spend most of my energy and time.

How MANY TIMES do I have RE-REPEAT this BEFORE you COMPREHEND and UNDERSTAND that I AGREE TOTALLY with THIS MAIN POINT of YOURS?

And just so you BECOME MORE AWARE I am ONLY DISAGREEING on the VERY REASON you are PROVIDING, and are 'trying to' "justify" for YOUR CHOOSINESS and PICKINESS.

I have ALREADY POINTED OUT and SHOWN that YOUR REASONS are NOT JUSTIFIED AT ALL, and are just EXCUSES for NOT wanting to LISTEN TO what SOME "others" have to SAY.

Hm, I could read Age's previous post,w hich I can't see now, or I could see what Veritas has recently written. I disagree with VA on many things, but HIS mistakes and misrepresentations are vastly more interesting. At least he introduces a wide range of ideas, even if he often is not clear about them. And there's only so much time in the day, so I'll go read VA. CHoices. I know it's hard for Age to realize WHY people choose not to read him, but it's probably the most useful, insightful feedback he'll get, which unfortunately means he's ignored it so far.

I agree with your assessment of Age, but I also have FlashDanerpants also.

I don't mind getting roughed up, but that pair, in my estimation should not even be allowed on this site.

Nick_A, because he either lies intentionally, or he is just way too stupid. Now, stupidity is not anything to worry about until they are both stupid and vicious. All three in one person is just too much.

Does it narrow things down any further if we highlight his wonderful boast that because of his magnificent IQ his friends have sent their wives to him for extramarital satisfaction?

Or did Bobevenson claim that one too?
