Some people love being vague and expecting people to interpret their hidden meanings. It's ...[text shortened]... ne doesn't understand. (They're also a way to simply be a jerk; context is everything.)

I'd be more than happy to participate in your threads if I understood them.
Okay.
Originally posted by pawnhandlerThank you, Pawnie. Will shoot for minimal threads and maximum clarity

Originally posted by Grampy Bobbyi'm there for you, grampster. seriously though, you do have a communication problem. i'm sure that it is tempting to believe that your meaning is crystal clear to anyone intelligent enough to see it, but i doubt that even God, should He exist, would be able to find meaning in many of your posts. Being obscure is just self-defeating, in your case. People might be willing to puzzle over the texts of a Heidegger, Baudrillard, Wittgenstein or Derrida to extract meaning, but this is because they believe that their efforts will be rewarded with some kind of deep insight. you don't have that luxury. if you truly want to communicate with people, you need to make the virtues of clear and meaningful communication your own. i have the sense that there is something that you want to say, some particular world view that you want to express, but the onus is on you to make it accessible if you want people to respond in a meaningful way. it is very possible to communicate very complex, and even deep, ideas in a straightforward manner using clear language.
Please feel free to chew me out if I fail to do so.

Being of the same generation as GB, forum chat doesn't come naturally. When I try to communicate I usually get misunderstood! That doesn't mean I can understand GB, nor he me.
Question (I think): Where did the phrase "take it to xxx, spanky" come from?

116 Days...
116 days of getting involved and posting on the RHP General Forum (12/22/07 to 4/16/08) and have only one question...
Where is the width and depth and height overall view which offsets the one topic/frustrated libido protective mentality?
Analyze and answer me this... without any imbecilic knee jerk 'Take it elsewhere, Spanky' post. Talking to chess players.

moments so dear
Five hundrend twenty five thousand

How do you measure, measure a year
In daylight, in sunsets, in midnights,
in cups of coffee, In inches, in miles
in laughter in strife,
In Five hundrend twenty five thousand
six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year in the life

116 days or 2,784 hours or 167,040 minutes
or 10,022,400 seconds seems so incredibly long
for an average, well intentioned Boston bloke
to consistently not get it and to get it so wrong.

Originally posted by smw6869"See Spot Run" highlights the previously untold story of sibling rivalry and animism in a seemingly idyllic American suburb. "Dick," whose phallic name is not mere happenstance, exemplifies the caucasian male-dominated society. "Jane" appears to be the perfect role model as a meek, obedient, subservient sister. Insiders, however, report that she regularly short-sheeted her brother's bed, which led to his bipolar disease and premature baldness. After years of getting positive reinforcement for being cute and not binding herself to traditional female roles, "Sally" and Spot left the suburban world behind and created a unique belly dancing act, as described in the last volume, "See Spot Boogie."
I'm sure glad i never took GB's literature course at Harvard. I can barely understand the the book "See Spot Run" from first grade.
GRANNY.
