So first you castigate for not discussing the articles, then when others respond
you're abusive and ill-mannered. If I find the articles fairly uninteresting because
I've covered similar ground in the past in the psychology side of Artificial
Intelligence then why should I not say so? Or is your problem that I didn't
become pointlessly enthralled by what, to me, is more of the same that I've seen
before. Sure, there were some interesting parts but as I said at the beginning of
my post I had gone through the articles fairly quickly and the impression that I
got was what I stated. If you disagree then say so and I'll happily engage in
conversation where I have the time. You're abuse does nothing more than make
myself and others want ignore any future postings from you.
You and Fintan put yourselves forward as mystics and poets, but all I've seen
from both of you recently is emotive rantings. This isn't the mystic way but the
way of the fool and the spoilt brat who have no regard whatsoever for other
peoples opinions and beliefs. If you're not prepared to argue reasonably with
others, on a forum which values reasonable and reasoned argument, then why
bother posting at all. You'll do much better in the newsgroups where this is
standard procedure. However if you want an argument then try reposting and
when I have time in between looking after my kids, going to work, spending time
with my partner, practicing Iaido (which has a strongly mystical side) and a
bunch of other tasks I'll be quite happy to argue with you. But then again you'll
probably think I'm being condescending!
