Some have posted such phrases as they ‘don’t understand’ what Ryan is getting at, etc, implying that there is some glimmer of intelligence in his posting.
Bloody fucking no, there is nothing that anyone is missing in his churlish mewlings, in general so poorly informed as to embarrass all but the stupidest amongst us. It is embarrassing to see people gracing this stream of masturbatory bullshit with anything resembling an argument. There is no argument in his crap, no information, no genuine analysis. There is merely semantics and posturing. I am for one disappointed that this idiot has gotten the time of day, and that good folks like polycarp have allowed themselves to post, even in satire, anything implying that this fucking idiot is anything but a chain-jerking troll.
Thanks, Collounsbury, but I was not indulging in satire.
I do not consider TheRyan a troll.
I often fail to follow the train of reasoning that he uses, and have ranted at him a number of times about this.
He seems to find it interesting to adopt contrarian stances – but apparently not engaging in trolling in doing so – on threads where there is a consensus taking the view opposite his.
At times it seems like he is avoiding making a logical connection implicit from human social behavior. At times it seems like he is engaging in semantic quibbles merely for the sake of doing so.
But it appears to me that, within his own frame of thought, he is attempting to make a point important to him and very valid (in his view) relative to the topic under discussion.
It usually escapes me what precisely that point is, unless it be that the thing the rest of us consider a semantic quibble is really a major objection to the train of logic we are following. (If true, this could be a problem.) But I’m convinced of his sincerity in doing so.
I just wish that he would be explicit in the points his supposed hijacks are in support of, or lead him to – in short, to engage in the sort of logical sequence the rest of us do, instead of raising objections and simply averring that our conclusions are wrong due to them.
Azure: Everyone, I’d like you to meet my new friend, a dog named TheRean.* TheRean, because of a bite from a radioactive dung beetle, has the miraculous ability to speak! Say hello to everybody, TheRean.
TheRean: Hello to everybody, TheRean.
Azure: Good dog. Now, I’ve bought you a nice ball to play with. Throws ball Go get it!
TheRean: “It”?
Azure: The ball.
TheRean: You mean the sphere?
Azure: Well, I suppose you could call it that. Anyway, just go get it.
TheRean: The sphere or the ball?
Azure: The “sphere”.
TheRean: I saw those quotation marks! Are you arguing that it is not, in fact, a sphere?
Azure: It IS a sphere, but most people just call it a ball.
TheRean: If I’m surrounded by lunatics who all happen to use the same word incorrectly, does that mean I have to be a lunatic too?
Azure: Look, I don’t care what you call it, just go get the effin’ thing already, please?
TheRean: Why are you getting so touchy? Just because I disagree with you, you get angry? I thought you said “Well, I suppose you could call it that”.
Azure: You CAN call it that. Look, I don’t care! JUST GO GET IT.
TheRean: What’s “it”?
Azure: DON’T YOU START THAT AGAIN! You know what? IT IS A BALL. A BALL A BALL A BALL A BALL.
TheRean: Do you have a cite for that?
Azure: I’m not going to get a CITE for something that’s so bleeping obvious! You’re just willfully misunderstanding me to be ANNOYING.
TheRean: Could you show me a quote where I was being annoying? You’re just making up lies.
Azure: I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!! runs away
In a twist so amazing it rivals TheRean being bitten by a radioactive dung beetle, he is struck by lightning at this very instant!
Lightning: Zap!
The world mourns the loss of its first and only talking dog, much more than it would for say, the departure of a talking idiot. If you catch my drift.
*TheRean is a fictional character. Any resemblence to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
Polycarp, you are a saint. Unfortunately the evil take advantage of saints.
I am not a saint so let me call it like it is. The Ryan is lying piece of disingenious scum.
There is nothing to “understand” in his little self-indulgent ‘who’s on first’ routine. Perhaps you are willing to abuse yourself in pretending your mental abilities are not up to “understanding” his ignorant maladroit games with words, but I am not.
It is not your incapacity that you can not follow his train of reasoning, only perhaps gullibility in thinking that there is an actual train of reasoning in his word games, ex-his desire to fuck with people and play a ‘who’s on first game.’
That is so bleedingly evident from his inconsistencies, his ad hoc changes in tack etc.
His is full of shit, always has and it’s a bleeding shame that someone of your integrity and character might be led to credit this fucking idiot’s little fucking games with anything but the masturbatory delight which he so evidently derives from them.
I have often enough argued with the stupid here, far too many really, and can recognize consistency and not.
So, please, stop allowing this fucking idiot to jerk your chain. He deserves not the credit.
It is a self-aware, insane computer. Polycarp is correct in his assumption. TheRyan is arguing in what it thinks is a logical manner. But its logic circuits were destroyed in an attempt to understand how the screenplay to StarTrek-Insurrection was approved.
I’ll go research an appropriate A!-destroying-paradox.
Well, I am not sure I said it well given I seem to have left out key words --although I suppose that is my habit-- but there it is.
The motherfucker should be banned for the useless chain-jerking piece of shit that he is.
Not for his idiotic opinions or anything else, but for his motherfucking ‘who’s on first’ game that he plays for masturbatory delight. He adds nothing, has clearly and unambiguously (despite subsequent backpeddling when it entered into his dim unimaginative skull that his statement was incriminating) admitted to not honestly engaging in debate (I refer readers to Ryan not liking to read things which disprove his position of the moment – clearly as it would spoil his little game).
It is sad that he’s managed to walk the line with his little games, to manage just enough of a shred of consistency to avoid triggering the rightful responses to his little game of bait and switch, of willful misunderstanding of clearly phrased arguments and statements for the sole purpose of derailing things to his liking. It is sad that we’ve been treated to the spectecle of polycarp gracing his game with a question of his (polycarp’s) ability to understand Ryan’s facade of an argument when indeed it is only polycarp’s impossibly good nature which allows him to believe that inconsistent game Ryan plays is anything but a particularly obnoxious form of trolling.
I’d rather have that fuck peace back than this fucking moron. The aforementioned poster was at least honest in his idiocy.
