I can't learn anything from Jim. He is too like me - argumentative and discursive to a fault. Discursive implies digressing from subject to subject and this elusive tactic is practiced not by me but by Doaln. I have often complained about this very issue ... Dlona's lack of focus and his diversionary modus operandi. Unlike me, he does not ever learn when to let go, but I understand him as well as I understand myself. Ed wants to let go and even more wants for me to let go when he has been logically entrapped with nowhere to turn since admission of error or defeat are not acceptable options for one with so delicate an ego. Tom is the far more interesting character for me. I can learn from him because he is sufficiently different from me. Jim and I represent the liberal arts. We are essentially generalists. Tom is a scientist and represents those specialties as well as anyone I have ever encountered. I make fun of those types but I respect them nonetheless. Our world could not function without them. I do not like them ever ruling anything other than their specialties, but that is more than enough. Jim seems not to have a clue as to what I am doing on these newsgroups whereas Tom does. I beg to differ. I know why you are here, but I am not convinced that you are objective enough to realize and/or admit to yourself why you are here. It is a mark of his intelligence that he has figured me out. But still I would trust Jim more than I ever would Tom. Tom has a strangeness about him that Jim does not have. As Jim would say, these newsgroups are just chock full of conundrums. And .... you are numero uno. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota PS. By the way, unless you use your real name, I will always treat you with the contempt that you deserve. |

Dolan's lack of focus and his diversionary modus operandi. I do not like to get stuck in a rut like JimmyMac. But even so, JimmyMac takes me up on my every diversionary move. Stalkers are their own worst enemy. TRANSLATION: I Ed Dolan do not want to get stuck in an argument when it become apparent to me that I am about to have it stuck to me.

Ed wants to let go and even more wants for me to let go when he has been logically entrapped with nowhere to turn since admission of error or defeat are not acceptable options for one with so delicate an ego. This is all esoterica which interests no one, least of all me. There was nothing abstract, complex, perplexing, cryptic, ambiguous, obscure in what I wrote. My statement was simple but precise ... not esoteric in nature. Tom is the far more interesting character for me. I can learn from him because he is sufficiently different from me.

I beg to differ. *I know why you are here, but I am not convinced that you are objective enough to realize and/or admit to yourself why you are here. Ah, but I am! Tom knows this much about me even if you don't. You need to learn to read between the lines. You are not an enigma. You are quite transparent. It is a mark of his intelligence that he has figured me out. But still I would trust Jim more than I ever would Tom. Tom has a strangeness about him that Jim does not have. As Jim would say, these newsgroups are just chock full of conundrums. And .... you are numero uno.

[...] Ed, don't allow your imagination to mislead you into overestimating your relevance. You will never be mistaken for a member of the illuminati. Readers, it would apper that Conan the Librarian does not know the definition of the word esoterica. Regardless, since Dolan has asserted that he is not interested in what I write, I hearby formally, and publicly, grant him permission to stop reading and responding to what I write. I could not have made this any simpler for anyone so simple. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

Esoterica is anything that the vast majority of folks are not interested in. That describes you and your posts perfectly. You've taken a bit of literary license with the term esoterica which generally is accepted to mean something which is intended for or likely to be understood by an initiated minority or small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest. What I write seldom falls into such a category. By the way, did did provide you with an out when I granted you permission to stop reading and responding to what I write.

What I write is not intended for or likely to be understood by only a minority or small number of people with specialized knowledge or interest. Do you not comprehend what esoterica means or are you just plain dumb? Never mind your posts are self-authenticating in that regard. I have to agree with your first sentence that started this thread ... I can't learn anything from Jim.

In any event, you are too hung up on dictionary definitions. Context is EVERYTHING! What I say is hundred times better than what any dictionary says.
