Now you're just being silly. Just give it a rest. You were uncomfortable with the things I was posting. (I guess if I copy and pasted long selections of other people's words from somewhere else, they would be acceptable!) You were being passive aggressive.
Then you were insulting, or trying to be. As if being a self-absorbed megalomaniac is some kind of bad thing. Call me dada, call me George, call me Duncan, whatever. But don't you dare call me a self-absorbed megalomaniac! haha
But even though it wasn't very insulting, you certainly were trying to be, your words were full of nastiness and venom. Your shit does stink, believe it or not.
Basically, you have a bad attitude. Just apologize. It's in order here.
I'll tell you now, though, I won't be responding to your next post. I'm not wasting any more on you. So if you're going to stoop and blame it on me again, be my guest. Have at me, give it your best shot.
(I should also warn you, in case you were thinking you might bait me into using up my allotted posts: I could just keep posting indefinitely, my rules are not set in stone. I mean, I make them, of course I can change them)
edited to add: upon reflection I feel that a few things deserve further clarification.
Lucid dreaming and the unknown are experiences that many (me included) are drawn to from a very young age, and have pursued all our lives. I suspect many on this board share this lifelong pursuit. Sweeping them up in a pop-psychology generalization is an attempt to reduce, belittle and dismiss these experiences. It isn't in the spirit of the Rigorous Intuition that I know. To do this specifically in relation to the content of someone's earlier posts, is what I am calling passive aggressive.
Horror is also something many are drawn to from an early age. For me it's a different subject than lucid dreaming or experience of the unknown. Horror has always been more of a hobby.
My current bad horror movie kick is because I'm interested in making low budget films. Already blew a bunch of dough on lights and sound equipment. Most important is good sound. Next is good lighting. So I'm not watching bad horror films for the horror, I'm watching them as a filmmaker. Paying attention to locations, camera angles, special effects, picking up tricks here and there. Again, to build a horror strawman and pop-psychologize it, in relation to the content of someone's earlier posts, is what I am calling passive aggressive. It also happens to be totally missing the mark.
Finally, I wonder, on a planet with six billion people living on it, is it of any value to make any sweeping generalizations about lucid dreaming, horror, or the experience of the unknown. I don't think so. Unless the reason is passive aggression, in relation to someone's earlier posts.
Both his words and manner of speech seemed at first totally unfamiliar to me, and yet somehow they stirred memories - as an actor might be stirred by the forgotten lines of some role he had played far away and long ago.
