2008 Weapons Policy?

Lord P, I'm not attacking you I'm trying to help you.  I'm sure you're a nice guy and you are certainly interesting but you need to tone it down a bit.  You said that you don't know what other words to use and that it is just the way you talk but nobody talks that way in normal conversation unless they hang out with scholars and scientists all day.  I'm sure you prefer to use those terms but I'm also sure that you could probably do just fine without them.  If you are smart enough to learn those terms and apply them in conversation then you should be smart enough to express yourself using normal, everyday language.  Again, Ockham's Razor: the simplest explanation is usually the best.  Or if you'd prefer, the "K.I.S.S." principle which is derived from Ockham's Razor.  Everybody knows the saying, "Keep It Simple Stupid".

If you tighten up your sentence structure and drop all the unnecessary philosophy jargon you'll be burning up the message boards in no time!

See Malestrom,,,   you just stir up the embers a little & the fire comes back to life!!!

Will Luke marry Laura?   Will old whatisname come out of the coma?

I'm thinking of making a 6 foot cardboard sword that I can fit inside. that will be my garb,, a giant sword. This should put to bed the can I get in wearing a sword question.

Pineridge..oh please!  That would be brilliant!

I'd like to nominate Pineridge for the win!

Go to faire AS a sword!!??

That would be, like, the BEST! GARB!! EVAR!!!

OR they could just have a swordfight!  How cool would that be?  See if Maria can get it on the grid!

hey, that might be fun!

I'll bet she'd agree to it as long as no one is wearing anything PINK.

But, would his garb have to be peace tied?

Wouldn't this be one of those arguments again?

"If you wear a sword, it must be peace tied."
I am wearing a sword.
I must be peace tied.

Oi Vey!

I think if he goes as a sword he should be in a sheath and peace tied.  If not he could fall down and hurt someone.

Second - if you wish to defend yourself using jargon or wish to use that jargon so that people will join in a debate with you, at least provide a definition of that term.

Like your idea. Even if I lose it will be cool and being guys once our aggression is out we are friends again.

[Lord Pumpernickel]

I only used a priori and a posteriori because they are the best words to use to further explain my argument you keep attacking. I tried to refrain from using them but when no other words fit what am I to do?

What are you to do?  First off, please learn to use the quote brackets correctly - it will make your responses easier to read.

Second - if you wish to defend yourself using jargon or wish to use that jargon so that people will join in a debate with you, at least provide a definition of that term.

Yeah your right on both terms this new forum is different from most that I use which is strictly HTML so this is some getting use to. And I should offer definition of terms but that destroys the fun of finding the definition and learning.

Thanks for your help and I do understand the diplomatic reason for your post but I can't stop using the terms. With who I very often debate with and who I watch and study this words come naturally to me. I even have a hard time using the phrase centripetal force since in physics there is no such thing as "centripetal" force in the literal terminology. But speak with any one of my friends and when I go in depth into my arguments, which I have here, I use the same vocabulary I do now. And when someone doesn't understand what I say they ask and I explain. That way the playing field is level and we can have a debate or argument without having to say so many words that can be summed up in one. Although I guess here I can try to refrain from using such vocab and it will be easy to do since this topic right here is probably the most debated topic yet and there is very little I disagree with people on other topic in this forum. Sadly a minor disagreement has turned into a lesson in diplomacy which all of us people who only wish to be friends and have a great time shouldn't concern ourselves with. Hopefully my post or your follow up post will be the end of this. Even when the topic we were debating initially ended so many post ago. I really do doubt anything of this caliber will ever occur again.

Sure, find me at the faire and this will end with me buying you a pint.

I swear every time I read about someone coming dressed as a sword the only thing I think about is the song they played on Doctor Dememento where the guy got drunk fell asleep...and I'm sure all of you know the rest. There's where the peace tie goes, if you're dressed as a sword. I mean, that makes the most sense. We should have blue peace ties for those.

Pink?  Did I miss something?

pink; the sound a bottle makes when struck upon thy head.


Seriously, I'm more worried about the weapons we can't see at faire.
