The good doctor was doing fine by himself, but I, sick of crass ganging up against New Agers/Age Olders that has taken place on this board, decided to make it a duo, and we most decisively handed the asses their own. :dubious: Whatever you say Sisyphus!! > [@](#): > > So kids, we just _did_ this.

It’s not his fault so much of that thread is jibberish. I can’t blame him for feeling superior to the torturous garbage in that thread. ---

I missed the thread; could **mswas** possibly define “Respainspurtay” for me? My ICD9 coding manual seems to come up blank on this one. On the off chance that it isn’t pure gibberish, could you possibly point me to a definition of this diagnosis? ---

On the off chance that it isn’t pure gibberish, could you possibly point me to a definition of this diagnosis? If I’m understanding it correctly, it’s just his way of dealing with stress. Sounds like it helps him separate himself from whatever is getting to him so he can analyze it rationally. Hope I’m close on that. It’s certainly a different way of thinking from mine. Cheers though **mswas** for handling this with class. **Aeschines** , you’ve indeed won. Now go and share your tale of triumph with the world. :rolleyes: ---

It’s not that those three discuss these esoteric issues which are of absolutely no interest to me, it’s their pretentious assinine comments like “you couldn’t understand” or referring to those who point out their poor communication skills as “mental midgets”. And the mutual masturbation “you’re great!” “No, you’re great!!!” crap is just plain annoying. They are three black turtleneck wearing, thin black cigarette smoking, rejectors of the tri-une God, philosophy majors who feel the need to not only discuss whatever stuff interests them (which is fine), but to make every effort that everyone else within earshot knows that they are too deep, too troubled, and too smart for us pleibes. Heck, most kids go through the same phase a some point in their higher education. It’s kinda cute in it’s own little way. But way too much, and it’s incredibly annoying. ---

I was kind of disappointed that **Lissa** and others came back into it. I figured as long as they were preoccupied with their circle-jerk, then the rest of the SDMB would be free of them. ---

So many posts I could thrash to pieces. Just thought I’d take the last one. And why do you think that decent thinkers return to an interesting thread? I’ll tell you. It’s because they’re decent thinkers. No one is going away, asswipe. We will all be around indefinitely, haunting and taunting the fools. I, all by my lonesome, can out think anyone at a canter, on these boards or anywhere else. When you get a few of us together, it’s a laugher as you dimwits scramble around to try and destroy what little intellectual integrity these boards have. I don‘t agree with **Aeschines** on the matter of a Dark Christ, since I don’t believe in a Christ in the first place. I don’t agree with **mswas** trying to rationalize/explain **Aeschines’s** metaphor. They probably wouldn’t agree with my disagreement, but I would respect them inestimably for doing so. Time’s a gonna come, and I will post to the pit the ultimate deconstruction of these boards, particularly GD’s. You’ll never be able to wiggle your pathetic little asses out of a decent discussion again after this, so enjoy the remainder of your nefarious reign. ---
