Indicative of what? All I asked was if my explanation was clearer to you? You then said this is where I failed in some sense. I then asked if saying "Does this make more sense to you" make more sense and you called me a ****. Now you keep saying I failed to understand something that you meant but apparently can't just say what you meant!?
I don't necessarily follow anyone's lead.

Which is why we end up with this nonsense all the time. As I'm not asking you to follow, just participate in a discussion but your insecurities keep leading you to look for traps and slights.
Not at all, just the facts, philosophy if not necessarily contained in any particular book, actually philosophy is everywhere, for those, of a discerning minds eye.
No-one said it is but Philosophy is a subject and as such there are a canon of books that make it up, so it'd be nice if those who wish to philosophize had actually read them. As they might find that their discerning minds eye has already been discerned by other very bright discerners. The reason why philosophy is everywhere is that in the main its about sceptical, critical and logical thinking and as such all subjects are open to it.
The truth, does not, your doubt, make.
Show me wrong then.
I've seen you only ever use emoticons to try and hurt people; negative reinforcement, while I, unless antagonized, only use them as positive reinforcement. So BS, you display your emotional need to hurt people, with every usage, and it's obviously in control.
Its in controlled usage yes, if they get 'hurt' then they are fragile minds who should not be on a philosophy forum but in a psychology one. However I defy you to find any post of mine where I use such things where the recipient has not been the aggressor. You on the other hand talk a good story but are very quick to be the patronizing aggressor. You have endlessly cast hurtful slurs upon me when you thought I was a women, used very foul language to deride me and dismissed me by not answering pretty much any f****** question I ask you or discussing any opinion I put forth in answer to a question you raise. All, I think, because you are an insecure individual despite all the machismo bluster.
Not True! But it doesn't really matter, because I choose not to merely talk of others accomplishments.
I'm not asking you to talk about others achievements. Just not to ignore the history of philosophy and repeat it when its been done.
Not at all, here it is: ...
No, what you said is definitely incorrect, you did not have a right to.
You conveniently ignore the twenty plus posts that went before this moment. So I still stand by my right to reply in this manner.
If I understand you right you appear to be supporting godfree in his assertions that the BBT is a plot by politicians, scientists and religious to promote the idea of a 'god'. That he, with no training in Physics, Mathematics nor Cosmology has identified a flaw in the theories of the Cosmologists that they have not recognized, a flaw that he identifies by reading not the papers that they write but popular explanations of such papers!? For someone who ascribes science as the tool for truth you have a strange way of promoting it.
Yes you are. You've asked many, I don't know to which you refer, but even if so, it would not necessarily, necessitate my response.
Try answering them as they come up then. What point you on a philosophy forum if you cannot reply to questions? You just here to polemicize your view then?
Who knows, maybe a prefer redundancy, for the thick headed, but it matters not, as your point is that of a looser.
Thats Mr Loser to you numbnuts.
I see that every time you have alluded to my psycho babble and burbling, it's because my point was over your head, it's that simple.
If you made your point simple then it'd not be over my head. Its that you think others can mind-read in the way you think you can that's the issue.
This is an example of my previous, I'm surprised you didn't refer to it as burbling. Oh I see, it's obvious, this one actually had 'a' meaning that you were actually capable of discerning, something easy, found in the literal meaning
To paraphrase Wittgenstein, 'If a thing can be said then it can be said clearly'.
Not at all, as it would most certainly silence your nastiness.
What would stop yours? Pretty much the only nasty thing I've done to you was to state an opinion upon a question you posed or question a thought you've had. Then you reply from your 'no-one can get one over on me' position, generally in a confrontational way, and I'm not one to allow the bully such license.
I'd bet my bottom dollar on a nuke over your mere pen any day!. And while this is unfair, even lesser swords are mightier than a pen, unless it's a really sharp pen.

And you call me destructive! Marx from the reading room of the British Library changed the world more than a million nukes could do. Bill Hicks pointed out that with all the nukes you had Russia changed not but a book scared them more than anything else so you should be building bigger and better books.
You see merely a reflection of yourself, I'm sure!
As sure as your gender intuition?
Not at all, remember that I was on a talk show of the 60's, not because I was bad at it.
'Boards don't fight back', remember that? But so what. I've meet Sifus and Senseis and not one has ever said, or been as arrogant to say, that against an edged weapon they'd just take it from the person and slap their arse with it. All when asked what to do against an edged weapon if unarmed have recommend running if possible, if not find a weapon too, as a last resort try your techniques but you're probably going to get hurt. Unless of course the person is a complete numbnut and is waving it about and has no clue how to use it. But in reality those who use knives in a fight don't let you know they have one and the first time you'll know about it is when you've been stabbed a couple of time. If they do know how to use it, e.g. the Philippinos then you are truly in the shit. Just about the best teacher in such stuff is Senshidos Richard Dimitri and even he says he'd be lucky to walk away without serious damage and recommends if you managed to stop the first attack then run.
Only thing you could muster against me.
You'd still have lost the 'fight'.
I don't like fighting at all, which is probably why I'm so good at it.
I hate fighting which is why, when I do it, I don't fight fair but to win. My guess is that you've got into lots of fights.
One of your many preconceptions that are wrong.
About what!? That you're egotistical enough to actually write <snip> when you could just not write anything in reply?
