Elizabeth,

Actually in the Hoot 'N Holler section of SW

Can you translate that into English?

If it's about values, why is it so personal?

Well, values are personal things. But it also depends how much one is attached to their values (and to what extent a person is a rational being). In Nat's case there's the added difficulty of him not knowing from one week to the next what he really does values...

David,

On the message board Steel Woods, there is a forum called "Hoot 'N Holler" which has this thread. There's nothing damning over there, just an illustration of silliness.

Hmm, I dunno that there's nothing "damning" there. What is said about "intellectuals" and the illusion to who that category contains, seems pretty damning to me. If nothing else it's rather damning of sanity.

Elizabeth Isabelle · Post by **Elizabeth Isabelle** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 2:32 pm

I think the thing about "intellectuals" is that they spend too much time concentrating on the why and how of life, instead of the what. Like cute little puppies, and babies, and hugging or caring for another person.

Aw, c'mon - how can this post even be taken seriously? That thread is too inane to be damning.

Dan Rowden · Post by **Dan Rowden** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 2:37 pm

Well, yeah, you're right, that's why I said it is damning of sanity. It's inanity is damning of their own minds.

Girls

Just want to have fun.

What's going on between Nat and Philo? I never see them apart. They're always together, just patting each other on the backs.

Dan Rowden · Post by **Dan Rowden** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 2:50 pm

Well, they're good friends so I guess you'd expect it.

It might be my imagination, but I think Philosophaster does have a bit of soul or conscience in him. There is the seed of eternity there. But he is having difficulties facing it at the moment. He feels a need to keep running away from it. Nat serves a purpose in that he is able to keep distracting him from having to look into it.

Frivolity is what Philosophaster is hungering for, at this stage in his life.

*snicker* - they just made that forum private where people need special access to get in there.

Having fun over here?

Seriously, can you cut the drama for like 24 hours? Maybe?

Nah. Knock yourselves out.

Thanks :) <-- Sorry, this is the best we can do for emoticons over here ;)

Yeah, but it's for your own safety. We don't want you guys to go into seizures from an overdose of feminine frivolity or anything like that. ;-)

Thanks Philo, your compassion is overwhelming - ooh *shock* - compassion-related chest pains - must... lie... down... *grunt*

I think I'll go put on that lovely dress I bought the other day and prance around the house.

Anti-compassion gesture... kicking in. Ah, much better.

Ah, no, not really. I don't think there's any fun to be had, actually.

Well, feminine frivolity isn't really especially interesting. Masculine irony and evisceration with a rusty butter knife are much more entertaining. Ask Mel Gibson. You could see how much fun he was having in that scene from Braveheart.

YA RLY. Unless you think depression is fun.

Say, your name was the only one of that crew I saw here for awhile before the forum suddenly got locked... I wonder who started the drama?
