That's sort of my point. I DON'T just mean in this thread - i agree this is slightly more sensical than most of them - I mean in general. I don't have much respect for deliberate nonsensicality. At least make an effort to engage and converse in a legitimate fashion.

what I think so I just try to have fun with my words. It's all in the name of fun love and the artistic revolutionary in all of us.. People on the net I have encountered are really stubborn so it's kind of like pulling teeth only I write off most of the nonsense I post as research because that's what net was designed for.

That, to me, doesn't sound like a member of a community. It sounds like a troll. I'm all for the avantgarde edge of artistic expression - but if I came here calling myself R.Mutt and responded to every post with only profanity, for example, it wouldn't be conducive to a vibrant community, regardless of its artistic validity. If communication is the last thing on JBKlyde's mind, if all he's here for is to be as incomprehensible as possible, that will NOT lead to positive and stimulating conversations - or if it does, it will be IN SPITE of his contributions.

I think you really need to consider that I am under educated... I took one class on "netiquette" in college and I passed it but I flunked out a year later... I'm living with a mental disability and I really don't know how I'm supposed to act.. I'd even go as far as to say that I am in-fact the Helen Keller of the world wide web.
