The real alterity will tell me who his PhD thesis was on - because no one could make that up, or guess.
If you eb the real alterity, and I hope youa re, email me or post the answer and I shall respond with something about knuckleheads and stupid beliefs regarding Eucharist which is where we left off on the mlb boards -
I suspect I know who that one person was who attacked you so, and it has been hard to be friendly with that person since, as I have missed not only your conversations but also your moderating. And you. A lot. I didn't email you since our last conversation because I wasn't sure if at that time it would cause you more trouble and I did not want to bring trouble into the life of a person for whom I have such respect and affection.
Is it a sign of the eschaton that you have posted here, or merely the apocalypse?
I never understood the whole alterity lovefest thing but I wish the man no ill will,and am always glad to see old faces appear.Welcome!(Though I haven't been posting here long enough to welcome anyone.)I'm sorry that the only conversation that we ever really had was in the middle of a much heated debate and we ended up on opposite sides.
cw-unless I'm misreading your statement,it does help answer some questions that have puzzled me for a long time.I'll respect your feelings.

You know, I don't really want to get into all that nonsense because, well because it was just a bunch of crazy-ass s*** that still makes my brain throb. My infatuation with "seeing" my own speech done me in.
As for you, well I always and in every case enjoyed your posts and looked forward to reading them, seeing them. Always. That's really all I have to say about that. You strike (struck?) me as a smart-ass in a nice way - that is you don't suffer fools gladly, and that's the sort of person I tend to like, whenever I like them. So it was kind of a pain to get into it with you and I was sad I couldn't make myself understood. As a result, I wrote more and more. That was stupid.
But I did not make up Knucklehead Corner because I am NOT a knucklehead. You know, it takes one to know one. So I would never deny being one. And that, in the end, proved to be the case.
And I wouldn't call it a luv-fest. I think (hope, wish, desire) that some persons came to respect me because (I think, hope, wish) they sensed I always tried - TRIED I say - to be fair and I was not afraid to admit that I had misjudged or to say that I was sorry for taking an undeserved action. And I tried to pay a lot of attention to what was going on. Some people liked that and some didn't. That's just how it shakes out. I did what I thought was right. So some people said "f*** off dude" and some people said "thanks." And some people said "What's all the fuss about?" So some love, some hate and a whole lot of indifference I would say.
