You will spend more time thinking about your TP, while sitting on the throne today, than you will about this post after finishing it. So, while I have all your attention, I would comment on cowardice and thinking. Physical bravery is rewarded. Moral bravery is assassinated. Emotional bravery is unrelentingly impinged upon. [Thanks for the support for too long, Neocon. When did everyone last visit your mother? Does this ring some bell with 'caretakers'?] And intellectual bravery? Who has spent weeks defending a position that none could put away, until he was replying to every person on the forum? Who put his health on the line doing it? When I returned and explained, with 10,000 characters, the pointlessness of arguing any Clinton issue, validating the speculating I'd been doing, what was my response? Neocon dismissed it and Bob changed the subject. Where Earl, Larry and Jl were is anybody's guess. Your reaction seems either fickle and shallow, convinced, or unable to connect the dots and dull. Posting to and by me never recovered.
Now again you come to me in lockstep opinion. Bob is upset by my passion, inexplicable, awkward feelings, and my suggestion, of which he concurs, that we cool it. Larry is willing to cool it with me because a transcription error weighs more, in his opinion, than his own topic of illegitimacy. Neocon is tired of being the only decent person in a forum of miscreants, and has taken that role more seriously than my substance posts. Who the hell is Earl? Has JL posted to me in months, ever extensively? Piling-on? There is an explanation for this herd behavior. It is cowardice. Not extraordinary, just human. [Now you can pin onto me how abrasive and insulting I am, but that is not what I said.] I have no outstanding characteristic but one. I do have the ability to live with the absurd, and bring back a reordered real. Not the funny, Monty Python absurd, but the terrifying, I have no Mouth and I must Scream, kind of random universe, absurd. The kind Einstein lived with. That silly phrase, thinking out of the box, tries to express it. My inattention to presentation is obvious, but more an excuse than a reason to avoid what I say. Will I be able to make something useful out of this rare, lethal skill. Not on this forum. Working back from leaps of insight and staying with precise step by step logic and supporting evidence is useful. [But look how many of you do it!] The trouble with me is that you think only your way is useful, and I don't fit. 'Don't fit' generates one reaction.
