      From: oldernow@dev.null              1) Find yourself a newsgroup.              2) Accidentally encounter someone predisposed to becoming        increasingly obsessed with taking offense with others'        opinions, who happens to hone in on any of yours.              3) Do your best to not pull an eye muscle as your        involuntary eye-rolling proceeds.              Thing is, their increasing frustration with not being       able to debunk things you're not even trying to change       their opinion/mind about will eventually lead to wanting       to denigrate you as though attempting to serve as a guru       on your topic(s) - which, of course, says far more about       their insecurity(s) (100%) than about your motive(s) (0%).              They somehow feel it necessary to argue about the       Truth of one or more statements, despite your having no       interest in arguing, but are simply attempting to present       ideas/thoughts/points you found interesting, and thus which       others might find interesting, and despite the fact that       Truth can't be crammed in words *anyway*, because the way       it really works is that conceptuality contexts (aka minds)       supply words with receiver-side subjective meaning/context.              SEE ALSO: Ego Feeling Inadequate Derangement Syndrome.              --       NPC's dutifully ignored.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
