I'm done...

I should apologize to the entire world for continual poking of epiphaniebloom. I'm done now, and so apparently, are they. I find Post-modernists generally to be good people, but they have a tendency to sometimes produce people from whom the pretension positively drips, and who have no idea how to actually use their skills.

I know, that was not a reason. It was not even an excuse. I should know better, and should be able to restrain myself (normally I try to). You can yell at me now.

Meh. I replied. Couldn't help myself. I love poking postmodernists.

No objective reality my ass.

I figured that you would be more eloquent here than I. After all, we only get these guys out on our end when they tell us how subjective our system is, and how we are slaves to outmoded conventions, and how we need to improve our science by accepting non-objective realities and such and such. We just nod until they go away.

Link? It seems I missed this.

Starts here (http://www.godawful.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=490642#490642), but doesn't get wanky until page 6. The topic is basically run into the ground by now, and I came in on the tail end. I really shouldn't have, but it was just so tempting.

Do you have your pants back on yet?

Shhh, don't tell him, but I stole them.

What? It's more fun this way.

You should apologise; some of those words broke my brain.

Never mind, where the intellectuals stumble, the shallow people must struggle on. And thus, the world keeps turning.

Or at least that's what they tell me in Painting Your Nails 101.

:D


P.S. I's just kiddin'. You made a fine effort, although I suspect Miss Epiphany+Stephanie=Wow-ain't-that-a-cool-name is about 17 years old and just discovered Post-modernism last week, thought it was OMG KEWLIEZ, adopted it as her 'thing' and will not be reasoned with. Ever. Note the quick degeneration into 'Meaniez' and 'Don't Like Don't Read, mofos' as soon as she realises she can't astound us with her intellect bullshit.

And you, sir, had better get used to the smell of bull/cow shit. ;)

I find it amusing that she's now trying to tell us what is and is not acceptable at a university level. Like we don't already know, and need to be educated. It's a bit sad really, where the only thing you can do is unjustly belittle your audience.
