What're you talking about?!? I called a mind (yours) "good"!

Post #27,529 by CRConrad 2/6/02 2:14:26 PM Reply	More like the other way around... I sez: What're you talking about?!? I called a mind (yours) "good"! To which Arkadiy replies: But you did it through calling my opponent's mind "not good". Naah. It's vicey-versy; Through calling your mind "good for programming", I left a door open for someone to take away the impression that I don't think Bryce's is as good... But one doesn't have to. So, if one does, perhaps that tells more about the one who does so than about what I actually said, eh? That's called the Fine Art of Implication. (Or was it tFAoInnuendo?) I will not be the one to flame you, you see? But the flames will fly anyway, and whatever small possibilioty of understanding we currently have would be lost. Lissen, Ark, when you've been around Bryce for as long as I have -- which is five years, now -- maybe you'll realise that there IS NO, however small, possibility of understanding with Bryce. And by then you'll certainly know in your bones that most people some times, and some people most of the time -- no prizes for guessing which category I think Bryce belongs to -- DESERVE to be flamed.

As for Bryce, I've been around him as long as you, if not longer. I've seen hin appear at IWE. I guess his long sabbatical from these fora (yeah, yeah, I remember how it came about) made me hopeful again. And I have to admit it made him more civil.
Post #27,556 by CRConrad 2/6/02 6:30:26 PM Reply	Actually, you are right too... ...about that last point: And I have to admit it made him more civil. Too bad he hasn't become any less stubborn, or more open-minded! Hey, no, sorry: You have made some progress, Bryce. As for Bryce, I've been around him as long as you, if not longer. I've seen hin appear at IWE. As long, then, but not longer. Dang, really? Sorry, I must have plain forgotten you'd been around for that long. (I think I had, somehow, the impression you were too young for that.) Christian R. Conrad The Man Who Knows Fucking Everything

People who tended to hire me for contracts also liked tablizing things in many ways. It is a common human fault to conclude that: ! think like me == bad mind I am trying to overcome this built-in human bias by NOT suggesting that my approach is objectively better. It fits my head better, that is all I objectively claim (if that is not a contradiction). The examples on my website are simply bonus information where I try to communicate my dissatisfaction with OOP. I don't seeing you trying to overcome this bias in any way. (By the way, he may not have directly said it, but the implication is rather strong.) ________________ oop.ismad.com
