      From: oldernow@dev.null              Newbie indicators in this space:              - The need to use words to argue about the meaning of        words. (Think about it.)              - More time spent asking questions than providing        ego-collapse-triggering insights. (It usually appears        to be instances of attempts to trip others up, or hang        them with their own words en route to some personal        "har har har".)              - Displays of feeling the need to "defend truth" from those        not understanding it per one's own modeling/representation        of an alleged reality. (As though truth needed the defense        of personhood illusions!)              --       NPC's dutifully ignored.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
