The Dilemma of Tom Sherman

Tom Sherman is so close to being rational that it is a shame that he can not

experiment in Russia was the the most serious social experiment ever in the
history of mankind and it failed. I urge Tom Sherman to give up on those
dreams. All collective solutions ultimately fail.

A pure Conservatism (individualism) is as much an abomination as is a pure
Liberalism (collectivism). Imagine the absurdity of living in society
without taking into account the matrix of society itself which binds us all
together. **** all extremisms all the way to Hell and back! They are all
totally insane.

I am an individual, but I am also part of society. And so are we all.


Your past posts betray you and contradict this very notion, so you can
spare the readership your bull****. You are a self-professed,
misanthropic recluse who has embraced the secluded solitude of an
insular lifestyle. Disenfranchised from reality, you are a socially
detached hermit by choice. Internet forums serve as ersatz social
interaction that only momentarily disrupts your otherwise self-
sequestered isolation. Without the lifeblood of the Usenet newsgroup
audience to sustain you, you have nothing and are nothing. Your
worthless, rehashed, regurgitated posts are a callous waste of
Internet bandwidth, server CPU cycles and archival disk storage.
Fortunately, once your have departed, your monotonous, vitriolic,
scatological harangues will be relegated to the status of cyber-
coprolite!

This means that we must have at least some minimum consideration for the whole.


And we can expect this from you ... WHEN, pray tell???

Tom Sherman is not so much wrong in his liberalism as he is off on his
emphasis. There is an eternal conflict between the individual and the
collective.


Heed your own words. The "eternal conflict with the collective" can
readily be interpreted as your conflict with the newsgroup collective
(members), particularly ARBR. Nice self-portrait though, by the way.

We must meet in the middle if we are to survive. All the
conflicts of society are really internal to ourselves. I want to meet in the
middle, but not Tom Sherman. It is why I feel sorry for him. He is so close,
yet so far.

Tom Sherman needs to recognize that there is a place in society for the
individual. If he cannot do this, then he is a nut case. We all of us feel
our individualism, but we also feel our social selves as well. We belong not
only to ourselves, but to the society of which we are members.


When do you intend to practice what you preach???

We are eternally at war with ourselves and with our society.


You are eternally at war with ARBR members ... particularly To
Sherman.

All of the above is Sociology 101, but there are none so ignorant as those
who do not know any better. It is only a liberal arts education that gives
any insight into these eternal conflicts.


A liberal arts education and/or course in sociology is not required.
This is simple common sense ... something which you either lack or
refuse to exercise.

Biomass of like genetic material and chemical composition do not a

It is all about a shared culture and has next to nothing to do with
genetics. It is why American Blacks are Americans and NOT Africans. The term
African American is moronic. American Black or American Negro is much more

The sound you just heard was my point whizzing over your head. I
state the genetics has nothing to do with being a member of society.
How hard did you struggle to misconstrue what I wrote before
reiterating the concept which obviously escaped your poor powers of
perception? If being a member of society is about sharing culture and
hermits do not participate in and/or share in communal culture,
preferring an insular lifestyle of solitude, they consciously reject
the very society that they allegedly are part of, but you just fail to
comprehend what is a very elementary concept.

Biomass of like genetic material and chemical composition do not a

society. Being a member of society inherently presupposes an
association with community. Troglodyes simply do not qualify!

It is all about a shared culture and has next to nothing to do with
genetics. It is why American Blacks are Americans and NOT Africans. The
term
African American is moronic. American Black or American Negro is much more
correct.


The sound you just heard was my point whizzing over your head. I

state the genetics has nothing to do with being a member of society.
How hard did you struggle to misconstrue what I wrote before
reiterating the concept which obviously escaped your poor powers of
perception?

Then why mention "biomass of like genetic material and chemical
composition"? I was always only talking about culture in relation to what
constitutes a society.

If being a member of society is about sharing culture and

hermits do not participate in and/or share in communal culture,
preferring an insular lifestyle of solitude, they consciously reject
the very society that they allegedly are part of, but you just fail to
comprehend what is a very elementary concept.

Wow! Are you sure you ever took any courses in sociology or anthropology.
For God's sakes, if you are even sharing a language you are basically
sharing everything. Hermits share culture just as much if not more than
those who are active socially. If that were not true, how the hell would we
even be able to communicate with one another.

I understand you quite well and you me. That is because we share a common
culture.

Man you are D E N S E !!! It is as if English were your second
language. Allow me to translate (English to dumbed down English) for
you. When I stated that biomass of like genetic material and chemical
composition [in and of itself] does not a member of society make, it
should have been obvious that this is about all that a hermit has in
common with other members of a society that they choose not to
actively associate with. In effect, what I was saying is that it
takes more than biomass of like genetic material and chemical
composition to be a card carrying member of society. Got it now
dunderhead?

If being a member of society is about sharing culture and


hermits do not participate in and/or share in communal culture,
preferring an insular lifestyle of solitude, they consciously reject
the very society that they allegedly are part of, but you just fail to

Classic logical fallacy (non sequitor) ... stating, as a conclusion,
something that does not strictly follow from the premise. Sharing a
language is not basically sharing everything. Just because we can
communicate in a common language and were born into the same culture,
ti doew not logically follow that we then must both be members of
society since one of us is a professed hermit . A hermit is estranged
from society, disenfranchised from the group as a whole ... a non-
participant by choice who embraces a life of solitude. The very
definition of hermit precludes grounds for debate and that's that on
that. No matter what kind of spin you put on this, it is what it is.

language and/or a common culture are not definitive factors which
determine whether one is a member of society. A Turk, a Japanese, a

It is impossible to become a human being without being immersed in a

has deliberately and consciously has withdrawn from social contact and

society and live the secluded live of a recluse disenfranchised from

It is rare alright. It is the one experiment that all sociologists would

show just what is required for a human primate to become a human being.

If it were not for the computer and the internet, Dolan would not have

anyone to annoy or offend. Let's hope that his PC crashes. That
would mean that Dolan would have to endure social contact in order to
get his PC repaired or replaced ... what a torturous price to pay for
the pitiful, churlish hermit.

I have lived at least 95% of my life without a computer and the Internet. I
guess I could live the remaining 5% the same as before if I had to. Unlike

You may have gone through the motions, but that doesn't mean you

soaked anything in. How could I possible be educated by one so
uneducated? You can babble on all you want about Sociology of which
you seem to know little despite it having been your major. What is
Sociology other than the study of the development, structure, and
function of social institutions, social relationships and collective
behavior of human society? You have deliberately chosen not to have
any social relationships. You have consciously rejected society and
in doing so are no longer a member. Recognize your incoherent,
irrational premise for what it is ... indefensible. Why delude
yourself? Regardless of your preposterous contention to the contrary,
no sensible person will ever accept your errant postulate that a
hermit is a member of society. You are a self-professed, misanthropic
recluse who has embraced the secluded solitude of an insular
lifestyle. Disenfranchised from reality, you are a socially detached
hermit by choice. Internet forums serve as an ersatz social
interaction that only momentarily disrupts your otherwise self-
sequestered isolation. Without the lifeblood of the Usenet newsgroup
audience to sustain you, you have nothing and are nothing. Your
worthless, rehashed, regurgitated posts are a callous waste of
Internet bandwidth, server CPU cycles and archival disk storage.
Fortunately, once your have departed, your monotonous, vitriolic,
scatological harangues will be relegated to the status of cyber-
coprolite!

You smarmy lagerlout git. You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock.
You grotty wanking oik artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish
foot-licking twit. You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless
crook-pated tosser. You churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You
cockered bum-bailey poofter. You craven dewberry ****head cockup pratting
naff. You gob-kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted
fobbing beef-witted clapper-clawed flirt-gill.

JimmyMac illustrates perfectly why a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
It would be better if he had stayed totally ignorant like his peasant
ancestors and never gone to college, even to one so poor as Loyola. You are
either to the manor born or working class. JimmyMac is working class to the
core and should never attempt anything the least bit intellectual. It is
clearly beyond him.

What we have here is Dolan at the end of his rope, having a charisma
malfunction ... throwing a tantrum. The fact is, and Ed know this,
when he is wrong he will not succumb to admission of his error, but
rather will resort to diversion and name calling ... how immature.
When someone is persistent in pressing a point an Ed finds himself
trapped in a corner, this is just his modus operandi. Interestingly
enough, those who offer the most resistance when their wisdom,
authority or intentions are called into question are often the very
same persons who have an inherent inability to establish valid grounds
to discredit others. What we have her is a sterling example at
work.

JimmyMac illustrates perfectly why a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
It would be better if he had stayed totally ignorant like his peasant
ancestors and never gone to college, even to one so poor as Loyola. You are
either to the manor born or working class. JimmyMac is working class to the
core and should never attempt anything the least bit intellectual. It is
clearly beyond him.


AND ... Dolan illustrates that a little knowledge combined with
egocentric, delusional self-indulgence is an even more dangerous
thing. This is an example of typical Dolan wayward gibberish. He
knows nothing of my ancestors, my education or academic rankings of
the school I attended and I'll not debate any of these diversionary
issues with a the hermit Dolan who, need I reiterate, is NOT A MEMBER
OF SOCIETY and whose opinion matters not because he matters not.! As
for being a member of the working class, as I have indicated in the
past, I do not share Ed's warped disdainful perspective regarding the
working class and will not debate this issue with him either having
already done so. Unlike like Ed, prefer not to continue to recycle
the same old grist through the mill ad nauseum. Suffice it to say
however that Dolan himself, who claims not to be a member of the
working class, must have been conceived in the back seat of car with
an automatic transmission which explains why he grew up to be such a
shiftless *******! Oh, and Ed ... you needn't struggle to insult my
intelligence. It is beyond your capacity to do so. For one, you are
not intelligent enough to pull it off and two nothing you have ever
said or ever will say defines who and what I am. When are you going
to master this elementary concept dunderhead?

Lets just say that this hypothetical scenario has a very slim chance
of ever happening.

How long would you last

I lived on my own for some time before marrying my wife and did just
fine and didn't have dogs at the time either, BUT ,and this is a big
but, ... not having a spouse or a pet is not tatamount to being a
hermit. I was still a member of society ... unlike a hermit.

Gin out of desperation.


I suspect you are in need of a reality check ... never going to happen
in this lifetime.

Irrelevant ... since, as previously stated SEVERAL TIMES, I have no
such inclination.

whereas I have lived the past 40 years pretty much as a hermit. That takes Greatness!

You need to give the hermit's life a chance. Leave your wife and dogs. Then
go to Montana and live in a shack in the mountains for 5 years by yourself
with little or no contact with others. If you can do that, you will have
