you see, eonve, the fact is that nobody likes you. that's understandable,since each and every one of your posts abound in megalomaniac and sinister statements. if you want to be so kind and do us all a huge favour, could you at least once in a while try not to be so....you?

dear zelda, i have to ask you something. would you please give me a definition of the following words:

1. megalomaniac
2. sinister

i just have a suspicion that you do not comprehend them and do not use them in intelligible way.

cause if you did, you would sure know that neither of these two applies to me. and i am who i am. i cannot be anything other than me. the world might be a theater, but i do not play any parts other than my own.

i fully understand the meaning of those two words and they perfectly apply to you, my dearest.
you should know we all play different parts, all of them compose the whole that we are. and sometimes we can pretend that we're nicer, smarter, more stupid, more generous etc etc. than we really are.

yeah, in real life may be. but what is the point of pretending here? i can behave as defcon and no one will give a damn about it. yet i don't. or i could be as nice as i am with people who i meet every day in school. yet i am not. i have no reason to pretend here.

fyi, megalomania is a psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth, power, or omnipotence. apparantly i do not display it.

sinister is:
1.Suggesting or threatening evil: a sinister smile.
2.Presaging trouble; ominous: sinister storm clouds.
3.Attended by or causing disaster or inauspicious circumstances.

so,

a. your are being judgemental and your judgement is quite subjective being defined by your individual morality of good and evil.

b. you failed to provide any evidence that would allow you to characterize either me or my ideas with any of the above cited words.

c. you are wrong.

you're a teacher eonve? what do you teach?

[more or less]

hmmm,

it seems eonve does not understand aristotle or nietzsche. too each his own, i guess.

eonve, i suggest you dig a little deeper on the tradition of civic republicanism and reconsider what is meant by "elites."
