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.
Quote: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.
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.
Quote: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.
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.
