I find that you can recognise someone with true expertise of their subject because they are able to describe it in ways that a lay person can understand. This is because the expert has started to see the bigger picture and the underlying cause behind all the details.

Philosophy students seem to come out of university though not being understood by anyone. I just nod and say "That's nice dear".

Bull. Shit. You're going out of your way to screw it up. And you're doing it so consistently that I'm pretty sure that you're doing it on purpose. A normal person would have started trying different things like, I don't know, maybe typing outside of the quote tags, instead of repeating the same mistake over and over again.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

No. This is a discussion forum where matters are discussed. One of the matters arising is your inability to post coherently.

I don't care. Why? Because you not only seem incapable of learning, you are actively refusing to do so. Ergo, I have little sympathy for such whining.

It isn't my procedure, it is the forums.

I don't care what Spinoza said. It is irrelevant to your formatting of your posts.

What did you think would happen on a discussion forum? Your claims will be robustly challenged, or at least they would if you could get past the enormous hurdle of simple typing that somehow NOBODY ELSE FINDS REMOTELY DIFFICULT. Can you tie your own shoes? Well this is easier than that.

Given that demonstrable laziness, why, exactly, should anyone here bother to wade through your intentionally obfuscated walls of text?

Since you are too lazy, uneducated, and unreflective to engage in polemic regarding my position, which describes jurisprudential illusion among the American doctors of jurisprudence who mediate our legal system, the very best you can do is set forth a fallacious and imbecilic argumentum ad hominem ungraciously directed against my person.  I am on what you deem to be your forum for just about one day, and, suddenly I am quoting authors absolutely incorrectly; not writing simply enough for simpletons like  you; and not cognizant of paragraphs, when, in fact, my writing methodology consists in discrete fragments.  Now that I am on your forum, I either have to do things precisely your particular way, and, straighten up and fly it right, or, be subjected to senseless insults posited by the ire of a stupid-ass bully !  This is truly throwing one\s pearls before swine...Other persons  on this forum were extremely polite and gracious in their attempt to convert me to what they deem to be requisite proper behavior upon this site --- deeming me to be a fool  in the most kind possible way; but what can your pre-established quotation norms and, simplistic demands to reduce myself to simple simplicity, for the sake of simple simpletons, possibly mean to me, an absolutely absolute reflectively free ontological freedom, able to theoretically overthrow both Deity and Law ! ?  I am not going to jump when a stupid chump like you says "frog", even if I appear, to  your ignorant density, to be just so plain stupid that I am intentionally obfuscating my writing.  I do not obfuscate; what you see as obfuscation is merely your ignorant inability to comprehend slight poetic complexity, readily dissolved via straightforward toughminded study on your part, which you are too infinitely lazy and inherently incapable of accomplishing in any case, foolish fool.

If we all quote in the same way that negatio does it quickly becomes illegible

It completely fucks up the mobile version of the page too. Truly the most heinous of crimes.

RE: Ontological Disproof of God
@negatio. In response to your post to Abaddon_ire, which I'm not going to even attempt to quote, fair enough if you're not computer savvy. But for the most part the forum buttons do the hard work for you. May I ask if you're replying on a computer or mobile device? If on a computer... ie using the full 'desktop' site... all you have to do is press the 'Reply' button and click with the mouse to put the cursor below the quoted post that is shown and then start typing. If you're on a mobile device... and thus using the mobile site... then tap on the 'Quote' button at the bottom of a post to reply to it, then tap below the quoted post... ie after the tag that reads
Code:
[/quote] (ie put cursor here to reply after the quote)
. Or if you're trying to write above the post, put the cursor before the opening tag:
Code:
(ie put cursor here to reply before the quote) [quote]
. This also applies if you're using 'source mode' on the desktop site. If you're just replying to single posts you can't go far wrong with that, but I can understand that it could get confusing if you're doing more than one at a time, but the general rule is quoted content goes between an opening and closing quote tag... and the closing one is the one with the /. So make sure you're not writing content inside a quote tag rather than between it and its closing tag.

Hey negatio,

I will be a little bit kind.

Would my guess that you are using some form of unix platform be correct?
