Checking In

And then certain someones asked if I would stop by "here". And there you are. And here I am.

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.

alterity-yes,you have gotten to the core of my being.Yes,I am a smart ass-but the nicest smart ass you could ever want to meet.I suppose,being a smart ass and goofing is my way of communicating and expressing myself.It's a strange way of communicating and doesn't always work.But it's the language I use.The problem is that it only works with people who can still find a way to laugh at the world or themselves.Plus,laughter is one of the few things left in this world that is still free.Being a Sox fan-it's a must for survival.

 

But I hope that you'd never questioned my respect for you.You did make a difference on the old site and did make it a better place to communicate.You're absence there has been for the worst.You're needed there more than ever-though your absence and it's effects,is not my reason for leaving.I regret not getting the chance to converse more with you-I may have joined the lovefest myself.

 

I hope you will return and frequent this site more-I would welcome the opportunity to start anew.

 

p.s. it's funny-I assumed I was the "bastard" you were refering to.I'll bet a lot of old posters are probably assuming they are.After questioning HSC-she reminded me of who you were refering to and I said"oh yeah"-THAT BASTARD!I finally realized-we have a lot of "bastards" around here.................I'm glad it's not just me.

 

from one "bastard" to another-take care.

KEADDY:  Glad to see that someone else has the same memories of Alterity.

 

Alterity:  I would have bet money that I was the bastard that you mentioned.  Can a woman be a bastard or is there another word for "bastard" when it comes to a female?  Guess I'll have to look that up in my Funk & Wagnall.

 

I don't post much anywhere these days, but anyone who knew you will never forget you.  Can you say the same thing about me, where you're concerned anyway?  Do you remember me, Alterity?

 

I'm still a Die Hard White Sox Fan & watch almost all their games on TV. Too bad the team is having such a rough year, no thanks to Kenny Williams, Jerry Manual & Jerry Riensdorf.

 

I LOVE TONY GRAFFANINO

Yes, I remember you. As Keaddy said he often did with me, I was just goofin' on you. Frankly - and I hope you'll find some way to forgive me - you kind of busted into the message board with a few wacky posts (I thought) and often - rather than come right out and say something about such things directly - I would reply in an even stranger way. And I would applaud myself for amusing myself. As I recall, that's what I did in your case - replied to you more and more strangely.

 

That was only one of a number of strategies I adopted to manage that place. I suppose mis-placed in your case.

 

Now, if you'll read backwards I say directly right in this thread who the bastard was.

oh?

 

I had someone else pegged.

 

And now I am surprised and confused and mystfied - a lot like my normal state, but now more intense.

 

Levinas has also given me much to think about and I was really trying to give that up. I understand my main dude John Dominic Crossan is living in Florida - Jesus Project honcho - left DePaul before the pope had him kicked out -

 

why is it the older I get the more universalist I get?
