In so far as, in order to correctly address you in response just now I had to use two bits of what I think I am correct in remembering that it is called BB code.  Yes, I could press enter twice to double space, and indeed I will; however not necessarily in a quick reply like the one I am doing now.  I am usually in too much of a rush even to think to press enter twice, when, for  instance, I am being unwarrantedly accused falsely of something which would have constituted me a fraud on this site !  Indeed, if and when I post a re-written OP, I assure you, Abaddon, I will double space...here in reply I see it is commonplace for members to use single spacing. Anyway, gee wizz, thanks a million for positing another OP for me !  Goddamn, that is a fucking radically beautifully constructed piece of poetry, damn; and I'll bet you understood the language, if not the concepts...of that critique of jurisprudence.
Pretending ?!  Did I not just go through absolute fucking hell, for days, in the travail of learning what, to me was a totally confusing and cryptic language; furthermore, there is a vast series of BB codes one can employ on this site; I am happy for now to know just the one equation; the question now becomes, does knowing only one equation constitute knowledge of BB code ?  Why do you so insist on picking an argument with me, personally, argue against my OP if you want to argue; that is what is proper in philosophy i.e., arguing against a fellow's position, not his person !  Either construct a viable and rational argument against my position, or, any part of the position, or, please, get off my personal case. I may be the most horrid psychopath; the basest murderer; the anti-Christ; all that I am is absolutely indifferent here; what is properly focused on is my position, and, if you cannot destroy my position, you have, tacitly, conceded.  Negatio.

He's talking about using the Enter/Return key to create paragraphs in your text... something which you did do in your post on that other forum. You know, a line feed... "carriage return line feed". Placing your cursor at the end of a sentence and pressing Enter/Return twice so that the cursor is now two lines below the previous bit of text, so that when you write, there is a line of space between the first paragraph and the next. If you were writing on paper then you'd just indent paragraphs, but on a computer it's much more readable, and common practice, to denote paragraphs with a blank line between them. But I do get what you're saying about what happens when you're in a rush... because I also sometimes forget to paragraph when I'm in a rush.

What this is is, in Mafia game terms, a WIFOM. Ie is this all a big con or not? If it is then I'll say this in advance... fuck you very much for wasting my time trying to help you. But I still don't think it is - I really don't... but more fool me if I'm wrong; in that case I guess I'll just need to improve my town game, but I've always known that anyway. That last bit will make sense to some people.

Wine In Front Of Me... the essence of a mafia game:




*Shameless plug; one more player needed to start the next game. Newbies always welcome Probably not a good idea for you to do it though negatio, if you were interested, at least until you've learnt how to post properly because... dum, dum, dum... in a mafia game you're not allowed to edit your posts

I presume with the "this" you are referring to the entirety of what I am doing on this forum is some con game lie I am running on you, and on everyone, the answer is, simply, No.

I kinda understood why, before, you referred to me as ''...an old man...", now, its "fuck you"; I am not an old man, though is am 72; I ride a touring bicycle forty miles at the drop of a hat; and, a bicycle is the only
transportation I have used since 1970; so, I am in tip-top physical condition, and, young guys openly admit I am in infinitely better condition than they, and, openly declare they would never engage in a fight with me, because they perceive my physique, and, admit that they could never even ride the little twelve mile round trip that it is into town from my place; so, again, I am not at all old, physiologically.


At the Bitcoin forum I simply copy/pasted the essay into the designated spot on their site; I must have indented the paragraphs when I originally typed-up the piece.  Abaddon may well be referring to what you say, however, I know for sure that he is speaking about double spacing my sentences, because we have discussed it.  Abaddon takes it as a personal affront to him that I am not continually double spacing; indeed, throughout college, everything was always, without question, double space.  Within the worldwide web no e mail is double space; the posts on this site are commonly single space; I dig double space, however, if I was double spacing now, this text would be twice as large. Negatio.

Kentucky, man.   There are 5 or 6 of us in total, that I know of, including you. Used to have a map on the boards.

Yeah, technically that's called being a "poe"... it's a type of trolling where someone pretends to be what they're not. Typically a theist pretending to be an atheist or vice versa. A lot of people here seem to think you are, but as I said I don't think you are... but if I'm wrong then I would be pissed off with you for wasting my time was what I was saying.

I just meant 'old' in the sense of 'not modern'... not 'tech savvy'... more likely to be surrounded by books and records than computers and smartphones.

Well, rightly or wrongly I took it to mean he was talking about paragraphs, but I haven't been following this thread very much. It would make sense since it's paragraphs that turn a solid block of text into something more readable. As to double-spacing... I presume you mean after a full stop? I know of that custom but I don't think it's in any way important here. I'm not doing it with my posts, and agree, it would make them much longer.

Anyway it seems you've got paragraphs handled for this post. If you can just keep it up I'm sure you'll get on much better here.

Baloney. If you gave a single flying **** about actually communicating whatever the **** your ideas might be, then you would make sure to actually communicate effectively. Yet here we are hundreds of posts in and you simply do not care.

Knock it off with the extraneous space between sentence end and punctuation. It is a tactic with which I am most familiar. Those that deploy it always do so knowingly, particularly when it is pointed out as an error many times. It can only be intentional by now.

The space key and the enter key are different keys on your keyboard.

I am not american, nor do I live in america. I don't care about US jurisprudence. It does not apply to me in any way. You seem to think it is somehow important. It isn't.

But you did not have to do so. You simply chose to do so in order to obscure your ham-handed failure of ontological rubbish.

I can only address that which I can read. As far as I am concerned, members here have fallen over themselves to help you. You don't care.

I would happily do so if you could simply produce any argument at all. But you seem unable to do so.

There is no "Christ" or "anti-Christ". You might be a psycopath or murderer, I have no way to tell one way or the other.

You are not indifferent at all.

You really have no idea how comprehensively you have burned bridges.
