All she asked was that this thread be dedicated to what she wants to dicuss

Never, ever give in to a woman’s commands. Soon you’ll be wearing an apron and sitting down to pee, Gary.

No, NO! Do not go down that road. Must I post video memes from The Godfather to get through to you?!?

Why not give women a voice? Giving them a voice means sometimes doing what they ask. If you give someone a voice and don't listen to what they ask, if it is a reasonable request, then giving them a voice serves only a one-sided purpose.

Because the bitches get it in their heads they can order us around.

Will you agree to pee sitting down then? Or standing, like a man, and filling the house with a resonant torrent?!?

No. I will not agree to those things. However, if one asks me to move a discussion from her thread to another, I will obey a request that is reasonable.

I’m with Sculptor on this one. Sorry. However, I kept on track with the Alan Watts vids.

Piss off back to Ukraine, jack! Your shadow obstructs my light!

Fair enough.

@Dontaskme: sorry. I did my best. It doesn't seem to have worked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It wasn't a total loss, we have learned something by it. We now know that the horrible little man is even more horrible than we realised.

...providing one's prostate doesn't diminish the resonant torrent to a leaky faucet. In that case it's best to sit down and read a few Philosophy Now highlights which may possibly cause one to have a bowel movement as well.

Thanks for your cooperation.

I was just thinking the same thing, we've learned that it doesn't take much to tease it out of him.

Sculptor in case you have gone blind or have adopted selective hearing this war talk has moved to the UKRAINE CRISIS thread, don’t miss out. It’s a topic you are involved in right now, but it had to move back to its original property just in case it’s normal residency was in danger of taking on illegal squatters.

All she asked was that this thread be dedicated to what she wants to dicuss. She didn't use any foul language toward you.

I regard her/his words as insulting.
When a person insults me, i tell them to fuck off. Simple. WHy would I be patient with him or her?
And we have history, of which you are unaware.

…we've learned that it doesn't take much to tease it out of him.

It is latent. No teasing needed. My evil sprouts like mushrooms on a north-facing hillside.

I am arranging for our planet to be destroyed. It’s got to that point. It’s time. Your appeals will not move me.

Actually this entire sector of the Kosmos will ripple, buckle and implode.

Its a Zen ending for a galactic ship of fools. Like in a koan there will not be gnashing of teeth and terrible cries of woe. There never was anyone to hear! Nothing happened.

See DontAskMe I alone was listening!

Meantime, I present to you assholes a True Saint and my guru!

Let's not over dramatise the situation, Alexis. You are not evil, you are just a very unpleasant man.

My tale is somewhat different (but not to be confused with the 9-tailed fox of Japanese lore). I went from Richard Weaver and Robert Bork, the first deeply concerned for metaphysics and principles, the second deeply critical of the Sixties wave of contempt and activism against hierarchies, and then encountered Evola and Guénon.

[At that time I was mostly attempting to master soups and STOCKS. So Mamane’s Master Text was always close at hand.]

Guénon is the chief rebel against ‘the modern world’ and The Crisis of The Modern World must be read to understand reaction in our own day. The turn back to the concept of Tradition. The idea that there’s nothing new under the sun — in the sense of “metaphysically established patterns”.

[Am I too attached to Italian cuisine?!? Perhaps. I’ll ride the tiger into a well stocked kitchen to blend vellutata and tomato sauce into Salsa Aurora and bake it all together with rigatoni and fine parmesan — and to hell with you microwave people! Ptouey!]

Evola covered a lot of ground and I’ve only got so far. But to dismiss him as you do in all his categories? Impossible. A Handbook for Rightwing Youth sits right beside my 1961 edition of Larousse Gastronomique …

Once upon a time people divinated with the Bible or even with Virgil. I divinate with my Larousse! I opened it up right now, inquiring of the gods of good eating, and got:

Caille (quail) à la financière.

Meditation begins. I must understand! What can this mean in the grand scheme?!?

Harbal wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 1:17 pm You are not evil

Ooooooooh yes I am. That’s one thing you can’t take away from me!

And I’m getting better at it as the clock ticks.

And we have history, of which you are unaware.

Asking people to take their ''Ukraine war talk'' to the 'Ukraine Crisis' thread is not an unreasonable request, so I made a joke about the war talk moving house, I also gave into a temptation of making it seem as if you had been deaf and blind to the request. Sometimes, it's not uncommon for forum posters to have selective hearing, or just ignore things for the sake of not liking change.

That you continued to talk on about it meant you either did not hear or read the reasobable request. If you did not hear or read the conversation immediately following that request, then yes, it's obvious now, that you had been blind and deaf to it at the time.

And thanks for the insult, I mean you could have just said I didn't see or read the request, and maybe left a few words to say you hadn't...that's why I continued to mention it as you seemed to be ignoring it....for whatever reason, it seemed rude, because Gary acted straight away, so it's not like anyone could have missed it.

And since this forum seems to be self moderating, I just thought it was the appropriate thing to do, is moderate my own thread, and direct it in a way I see it should go. That's my prerogative.
