Thank you Adrian. I know that it is self refuting. It is part of the joke. But I will exclude myself from being allowed to have an opinion if I also exclude the person I am picking on from having one. I use the same logic with the line "Those who say others should be taken out and shot should be taken out and shot". I know that that puts me on the list, that is the humor. But if that was an option, and I knew that everyone else that was also on that list would also be shot, I would get in line. I make it's logic stand, even though it is an illogical statement at first.
And If I think that, then it is logical that I should not have an opinion. But the same logic stands for TheVoid. So if you respond by falling in the trick, then you (because TheVoid should have been the one to refute) get pulled down too.
It seems like a stupid statement, then it seems like a bad joke. Finally, it is possible that it is all a complex and intended literary joke... May be some of the tings I have said here before have been taken as stupid when really the point was missed...
Hopefully that makes some sense, I really meant to say the first line, and know what it entails, and stand by it.
Thank you,
