Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 A cheap defense seldom works. It only points out the poverty of your mental resources, and the cheapest, most ineffectual defense that people on these lists use is the mirror defense. The mirror defense claims that whatever is said about you, is only true of the accuser, who is using you as a mirror to project his/her faults onto another. That is just cheap psychoanalytic bullshit. This presupposes we are incapable of learning about another's shortcomings, even after reading that person's posts for months on end. Of course, the first argument against that defense is, if you claim no one can learn about you, then, obviously. You can't learn about another, therefore, your claim that those faults belong to your accuser most be wrong. The must you could say without looking stupid is that your accuser is wrong. Of course, we can only get a very sketchy image out of emails. No one here can claim to know who you really are, but bullshit dressed up as intelligence can be smelled a mile away. Like claiming you are above all this spiritual talk going on ad nauseum, but never unsubscribing and keep on reading it day after day, and keep bitching about it, and portray yourself as a superior intelligence. A true superior intellect won't read what he considers idiocy for long. If he does, then he's an idiot too. If all these emails are tales told by idiots, if you can't learn anything from, nor about anyone, and neither can anyone learn about you, why are you here reading? An idiotic cheap accusation or defense proves only one thing.... Guess what that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
