I suppose with tw we need the reminder because he adds value to conversations between diatribes...

And some factual information between opinions.

He was looking in the mirror when he wrote that.

Do you mean UG's critique of tw's style is correct? If so, you're missing the point and the irony.

It was correct, and I think his comment about invidiousness wasn't exclusively for TW. He wasn't looking in a mirror.

He probably wasn't looking in the mirror, if he had been he might have seen he is the very image of invidiousness. That's why posts 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20, were all basicly...

Were he to eliminate the diatribes, he'd do better. Not that that will happen; unlike me, he is driven by his resentments, and if he's ever processed an emotion in an adult way, I've missed it. No matter how... eccentric, his resentments drive him.

If it takes one to know the other, why would you laugh, Pico? It's not like you're visibly one of the great minds of your generation, is it?

Nor is Bruce, I'm afraid. He's not at all stupid, and I respect that in him; I like to talk to the guy... but if it's garbage going in, it's damned difficult to manage anything other than garbage going out.

Bruce, try "indignation" vice invidiousness.

Naturally. And that's why I speak as I do, Bruce.

You once told me I had taken the wrong road. Never once have you been able to state in what particulars my road was actually wrong, and never once have you shown your road is visibly better. Pretty sorry.
