Shove your postmodern condescension up your arse. So many other occasions could be cited, but this will do.
I've had it. You aren't debating; you're pissing about, making out that you're the only person who is capable of looking beyond their immediate position. I'm perfectly aware of performance as an element in debate - it's called rhetoric. But your rhetoric is shallow and hollow. Other things may well be at work of which I know nothing, but you have broken my tolerance and this is the best way available to me of registering this fact, and boiling over in a reasonably controlled fashion.

I remember Martin from before my decade long shore leave and I'm inclined to say "Who are you and what have you done with Martin?"
A lot can happen to someone in ten years. It did to me. It's changed my posting style. I try to remember this.
But yeah ... I get what the OP is trying to communicate.

But Martin's posting style hasn't changed much with his change of theology. Many people regret that.
ETA: The book is an excellent read, interesting, funny, and heart-breaking.
ETA again!- This belongs on the Snowflake thread- sorry!
I'm just rereading it and it keeps making me think of you. Poor Orual trying to reconcile rationalism and the numinous, trapped between those on one side and those on the other. As one reviewer has it
Yeh, I know.
So I too had a problem with that, but (water under the bridge and all that) I don't think I'll continue with that.
But it needs to be pointed out that the allegation of drunk posting was the first reply to the OP and not Thunderbunk.
There are two types of people in the world (three sir).
There are three types of people in the world: People who are arseholes all the time but don't know it, and people who are arseholes every now and again and know it, and who try to resist their foul urges. Martin is in the second category.
I don't know whether the allegation that Martin drinks the fresh blood of a goat to maintain his mental functions is true or not. I have no opinion on the subject. What I see are words on the screen of my computer and an avatar. And god damn it, I like the avatar.
Oh aye, yeah, sure.
We've moved on to post-everythingism .
The idea of there is nothing is true is post-modern.
PM has not been rejected, it has been expanded to everything else. People have gone through PM and come out the other side.
But all this has nothing to do with M54's posting style, or yours and mine for that matter. It could be a Purgatory subject if you want to discuss it.
You do realise that you are just stating your own opinions don't you? Yes, I think you are right about my definition, but the rest is not universally agreed at all.
Whereas your " I thought post-modernism died out a decade ago" is universally accepted?
Stop talking out of your arse, your breath stinks.
Because you agreed with it doesn't make it fact does it? You must have a high opinion of yourself.
I suppose not. Perhaps you'd like to re-phrase your post, making it clear that what you were saying was your opinions rather than concrete fact. That way, no-one can be accused of having double standards and we can all be happy - and set a good example to Martin54 as well. What could be better?
Why don't you offer his arse a mint?
You're setting a perfect example already Mark...

More useful than Martin's objectively pointless maunderings about objectivity.
JJ, there is nothing new under the sun. Late in life I'm trying to get used to an all but for the Jesus myth deist transcendent meta-infinitely immanent all but for incarnating non-interventionist impassible meta-eternal God.
I just read that sentence out loud and laughed.
As in most scenery-chewing drama, some lines can be written but never spoken.

However, most people are quite annoyed at Martin and I don't want to get caught in the crossfire so I'll just go eat some raw purple cabbage. Toodle Ooo!
You say that as if it’s a whacky thing to do. Not at all round here. Once a week we have potato pie, mushy peas and red cabbage - potato pie cannot be eaten without it!
It’s also typical party food round here.
