Your quote tags are somewhat malformed. I was going to wait until you had had the opportunity to fix them, but not forever…
Allow me to make my point more succinctly.
A idea is worthless if not communicated.
A book is worthless if not read.
Words are worthless without deeds.
A book is worthless if not read.
Words are worthless without deeds.
Agree or disagree?
I, also.
@ Purple Cat: Thank you for the recognition!
This discussion has certainly demonstrated that I cannot in good faith consider the DHPD Ignorant as a group, even were I so inclined; but then, that was never really the issue, was it?RE: The Knights page: And by their very nature do you not see the hand of committee design, of compromise? With its myriad statements, sub-statements, clarifications and caveats, it is obviously (to my eyes, at least) a group effort.
RE: LCGHC vs. Knights: I am a man of many hats. The Club is my own group; we are exclusive, but not possessive. Many of our members also wear multiple hats.
I am afraid that I tend to speak for myself, and that my positions on many matters are often considered heterodox if not outright heretical. Unless I say otherwise, do not take what I say to be Knights policy. It is de facto Hunting Club policy, but I do not require my members to conform to my own beliefs on everything and they are always welcome to challenge me if they see fit.
On a personal note (the player, not the character – since you started it…
) – my own background is also in the "hard" sciences, which I suspect is why I find this type of subject fascinating. After all, everything is ultimately applied philosophy; to paraphrase, "Biology is applied chemistry, which is applied physics, which is applied mathematics, which is applied philosophy." (Let us not discuss English majors. )
I have some vague recollection of assisting in a kill on you. Rest assured that it was because as then-leader of DHPD you were a valuable trophy.
(Also, a target of opportunity, if I recall aright.)@ Dr Sy N Tist: I remember you.
Our relations were always amicable, as far as I recall. How have you been?Also, as far as The Dead zerging: their internal policing of this was rather vigourous, at least while they were big and from what several observers have demonstrated. You may disagree with their formation of several hordes under the moniker "The Dead" and encouraging forum members to create zombies for each, but that could only constitute alt abuse rather than zerging per se unless the alts are employed in close proximity, and is an entirely different discussion.
Forgive the pedanticness, but in my capacity as an Inquisitor I tend to find the term zerging used improperly extremely frequently and strive to correct it wherever I may.
