    His first post wasn't requesting we overhaul the forum layout so he could surf here when he's supposed to be working.

    Yeah, any newbie whose first few posts aren't so provocative that he gets banned four times clearly isn't worth paying any attention to.

    I laugh in the face of this so-called James. T. Kirkegaard.

    EDITED

    ...Huh Kriekegaard? Sour cherry orchard? Interesting name.

    Not as fancy as "Smuelissimo", though, that seems like the name for one of those stuck up italian jackasses who only get world famous by cutting up paintings and pasting them together willy nilly.

    I think we all need a serious reality check.

    Everybody spells the name wrong I swear...

    But you're perfectly correct. I should be more extreme! Every single one of my posts should be littered with swear words and porn. Thank you all for showing me the path of righteousness!

    Let me rephrase the question: I am of the opinion that both immaturity and maturity coexist with all men; therefore, I would truly value a woman's understanding concerning the determination of one's mental age as woman tend not to obfuscate matters with impracticalities such as the philosophical (or psuedo-philosophical) viewpoints that dominate my perceptions of reality. (And men tend to acquire knowledge without understanding.)

    Is not Truth (as I see it) another way of saying My Opinion? And does not Truth encompass all of reality? Therefore, Are not all forms of perception, including perceptions that are no more than guesses, on topic?

    If it bothers you that much, all you have to do is persuade the admins to unban my original "Smuel" account, and I'll go back to posting with that. And then everyone will be happy.

    Except the admins who will grumble about having to do work.

    And the people who still think that "Smuel" was a big ol' jerk and were glad to see the back of him.

    And I'll feel cheated because I'll be spreading my post count over several accounts and thus making it harder to reach the lofty heights of Lordship.

    And all those who don't like the way I clog up their nice forum with tedious ramblings will still be annoyed that I haven't left yet.

    But everyone ELSE will be happy.

    No, I'm saying your name fits well on here, among the Zanza's and Yztk's. Much better then people with boring names, like "rodney dale".

    Oh. Well in that case, it's back to business as usual...

    Wow, Xyle, you manage to be patronizing to women while at the same time creepily insinuating that you "value" them very highly. How about being... I don't know... not sexist? It might get you more positive responses from everyone, including women.

    Oh, right, I forgot. The Bible teaches that women are extra special delicate flowers that we men have to protect with our manliness. Except when they are being slutty implements of Satan, in which case we should stone them to death.

    I hereby apologise for criticizing Xyle's entirely reasonable wish to harness their strange alien thought processes.

    That makes no sense. It is almost impossible to stone every woman you meet.

    Think less "chucking rocks", and more "innuendo".

    Woman are superior than men in all abilities. And that is the problem that is solved by men defending them. The female of every species is more violent than the male of the species and therefore better at war. By "protecting" them, we prevent woman from stirring up their violent emotions and instead allow them to focus on civilizing us "barbarian" males because civilization requires peace and not war to flourish.

    Men and women both are tempted to do evil. And both were used by God to correct the Israelites. It is the sexist idiots who don't read the entirety of the Bible who think that only woman are evil. The Bible gives examples of the faults of all of its "heroes" because everyone is imperfect. To do otherwise is to misrepresent reality.

    And pray-tell, how am I being sexist? Females are biochemically different than males. To believe otherwise is to deceive. The biochemical differences result in behavioral & psychological differences. These differences should be not ignored nor treated as problems. Instead they should be exalted because they give woman unique perceptives that can contribute and accomplish what males could not.

    A woman who thinks less of herself because she is not male has been harmed by the notion than only men can succeed. The road of an individual's success is best when it conforms to the strengths of that individual. And an individuals strenghts tend to the results of what makes that individual Different. As a male who values the strengths of females, I am different from those "normal" men. But then, I have already admitted to not conforming to the normals of others when I admitted to being "crazy". Why then should my valuation of a women's understanding be viewed as if I was a patronizing male? When I say that I value women's understanding, I mean that I value women's understanding.

    How is this true? At least for humans? Men perpetrate far more violent crimes than women do, there are very few documented female serial killers. Men also have a greater muscle mass than women, which in a primitive sense makes them better at fighting (hence old-school warfare). Are you trying to say that the only reason why women aren't raging savages is because society doesn't deem it appropriate for them to be? Because I find this very hard to believe, if women were violent by nature no amount of culture would prevent them from being so.

    Also I think by dint of your supposed reverance for women people think you're sexist, if you were truly free from such notions then you would see women as your equal - nothing more, nothing less. People are people after all, man or woman it makes no difference. Obviously there are differences is biochemistry between the sexes, it's ludicrous to claim otherwise, but that doesn't mean that women are very different from men by any stretch.
