My experience with the Fairground Con

[Sledgehammer427]

AdeptCharge, I am actually kinda lost as to why your posts are so dense, and yet say next to nothing. Like, all of them are that way. Every time I get on this site I imagine myself sitting at a table with this group of guys having a discussion. Try to put yourself in that spot and I hope you would see how strange this looks to the rest of us. Judging by your tone, it seems to me like you are typing as though you are looking down your nose at the rest of us. The internet is no place to be talking in such a manner, as you must assume that you are among equals. You can simply say "a reflection in a fun house mirror" instead of "a virtual image which is distorted due to the object, you that is, being reflected by a convoluted non-planar surface,(direct quote)" and we wouldn't think of you as any dumber than the rest of us. Using large words and writing paragraphs where most of us would use no more than a couple sentences isn't fooling anybody, and it's giving me the feeling you are hiding behind them. I will not guess at the reason.

That being said, if you are really as bright as you are trying to act through your vocabulary, there are other ways to show it than by doing this.
I will not reply to your responses to this post, I have been following your posts, AC, and I will make like Sailor Steve and just stay quiet from now on, having said what I wanted to say and nothing more.

@Gargamel, chicks, ducks, they are all just as fun to eat or explode in a microwave. I never cooked one over a fire, but I'm a sucker for s'mores.

I think clearly, and shall contribute to inform.

I see no reason to cheer, A-hem of course there is a perfectly rational explanation. Hmm... matchstick type skeletal figure unconnected by muscle or cartilage, that can type! least the presence of a rudimentary pharynx would be necessary, also how does the diaphragm produce the pressure needed? to omit this "I'm so clever" sound. Preposterous

It has obviously not omitted the sound, for if it was omitted it would not have appeared in the picture.

You can at least get your facts and/or English right...

[Sledgehammer427]

Raptor1 is right, the sound you are looking for is "emit"
if memory serves me right, omit means to leave something out or something close to that.

as for the stick figure, any type of humor must escape you. I take it you are just as critical of other cartoons?
"transforming automobiles?! preposterous!"

actually this troll is more amusing than some other trolls here.

You don't get proficiency by stinging together random grand words, but by using words in the correct meaning and grammar.

Here's the appropriate song:

Another personal attack, I do not sting together, I use the appropriate words for in depth analogy to deduce the incorrect meanings and to present logical analysis to ones thinking of the fact or matter provided.

You attack personally My facts are (mostly) complete and in depth.

I deduce the facts only.

[Sledgehammer427]

I have little else to judge you by but your posts. I do hope you understand.
(I also hoped I wouldn't have a reason to come back here, so much for that)

Men of genius may not be quick judges of character, but they may be wise enough to not voice that judgment until they have compiled the facts. I assure you, my initial post was not simply out of the blue. I observe. I have little else to do with my time, and just because I don't post doesn't mean I haven't read the thread. This phrase just doesn't fit this situation at all. This is not a face to face conversation, and I can only "size you up" through the words that you type.

My facts are (mostly) complete and in depth.

But the presentation of those facts are convoluted by grammatical errata (omit/emit) and the use of grandiose phrases and explanations in light of simpler ones. You are simply overspeaking and overstating your point. I'm still curious what a person of your implied intellect was doing at a fair to begin with.

*There is no such thing as "instinct," per se, in the human race. we are an intellectual species and since we have the higher thinking needed to accomplish our lives, there is no need for the ingrained instinct that animals have. I can explain this further, if you wish.

That wasn't a personal attack. He called you no names, nor did he disparage your character. He merely continued to comment on your failed attempts at erudition via the use of excessive language without any associated sense. And it's "one's thinking", not "ones". Your inability to get the small details correct betrays your lack of understanding of the larger concepts you attempt to portray yourself with. I'll forgive the use of "sting", for "string", as it's a typo we are all guilty of from time to time.

No, he does not. He points out what I described above, that you try to show superiority with elevated language while failing to get the basics right.

I deduce the facts only.

We have only your word for that. What one actually understands is only transmitted through one's ability to communicate the concepts. If no one understands you, you have failed.
