Don't be silly. I posted earlier 'No idea what most of that means. Can you post it again without all the isms and philosophy language - then i might be able to comment.' So if you are incapable of doing that in answer to a straight question then you've got to wonder.

Don't sweat it - the issue is not that you don't understand what they mean but rather he doesn't. I used to think it was just ignorance, but he's been corrected so often now only to re-attempt the same misunderstandings that I've concluded that it's wilful trolling. No idea what he gets out of it - it's a sort of dull nihilism that crushes the attempts of posters here to have interesting debates, but maybe he finds that satisfying or something. Who knows, but it's a pity.

Thanks bluehillside,

One thing that the response made me wonder was if the inability to answer without using isms etc was due to a lack of understanding what the isms used actually mean. Easier just to repeat the isms than to try to explain them in that case.

No worries. Having made up his own meanings, he hides behind them and will never come out again no matter how often he's corrected - pretty much the antithesis of clear and effective communication, which as I say is a pity for the those actually interested in honest debate and discussion.
