What is your current forum goal?

[Shell B]

You joked about people not understand philosophy and saying it was nonsense. I took issue with it because I wanted to address that statement whether it was a joke or not. It's still not clear whether you actually think it's all nonsense or actually think my grasp on philosophy is tenuous or that I actually don't understand it.

It doesn't need to made clear, Hammy. I'm not now or ever going to talk about philosophy with you. What I said after my first post in response to you getting "huffy" with me was sincere. I highly doubt you have some next-level grasp of philosophy.

You seem to be taking this much too personally. A lot more personally than I am.

No, I'm irritated with you. It's different.

Again, you spoke of philosophy being nonsense and I said that that was incorrect. You said my grasp on philosophy was tenuous whereas I only said that you don't understand it because that's all assuming that you actually mean that philosophy is all nonsense. I'm saying that if you think philosophy is all nonsense then you don't understand it. Your response is to say my grasp is tenuous and to think that there's a need to get all huffy about it.

I joked to someone else that what you all say about philosophy is nonsense, not that philosophy itself is nonsense. Either way, your response was funnier than my joke ever could be.

And I never insulted your intelligence.

Bullshit.

Perhaps you are the one who needs to back off

How does one back off from a conflict they didn't start? Is it by repeatedly responding with one-liners to encourage an end to the discussion? Because I thought that's what I was doing. Now, I've used up my quota of Hammy patience.
