Philip Coates Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 ??I don't understand this thread .. the first post says garbage pile and the second says happy to oblige.Makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Phil,I'll try to go slow.The first post says, "garbage pile."The second says, "happy to oblige."The title says "request for garbage pile."I'm trying to think of a way to simplify this...Are you sure you don't enough command of the English language to understand this stuff?Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did you write that, Ted? Edited April 2, 2011 by Xray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9thdoctor Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Oh dear. Apparently Ted wrote a “name-calling” post last night (I didn’t see it), then another post, which only said “Garbage pile”. This was on the Geert Wilders thread. http://www.objectivistliving.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10393&view=findpost&p=130815MSK deleted the “name-calling” one, and peeled off the “Garbage pile” post to it’s own thread, this thread. Much needless confusion has ensued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GALTGULCH8 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 My objective is to achieve the widest possible exposure for the upcoming release of Atlas Shrugged first part of the trilogy. I assume that quite a few will follow this seemingly ludicrous thread which is otherwise a complete waste of time. At least they might find this link to the Atlas Shrugged movie site here which is worth knowing about.http://www.atlasshruggedpart1.com/And here is the link to my favorite trailer from the movie:http://www.atlasshruggedpart1.com/atlas-shrugged-movie-scene-dagny-confronts-unionPass the torch!

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Xray,Here's a technical explanation. Whenever I remove a post from a thread and throw it here as a new thread, it appears like it was started by the poster. It's a software thing. The program calls this "splitting the topic" when I do it.That's why I always make a post or some other indication (like a comment within the opening post) that I was the one who did it.There might be better solutions, but once something goes here, I just don't want to spend a lot of time thinking about how to pretty it up.Let's spend time and effort on the good stuff, not the garbage.Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Coates Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Yes, how dare you insult ND that way. Everyone knows it's a badge of honor to be ridiculed by Jeff:Jeff, please say something about ND's not knowing anything about X, Y, and Z or not having reached the Platonic Nirvana of Jeffaronian Expertise so he won't feel left out and will bring his fingers down...

I bet he hasn't read any Faulkner beyond A Rose for Emily. Next time he starts strutting around like he's a literary expert just for having read the complete works of Eco and Pynchon, let him have it!

But the little skeptic residing in my brain has just pushed the "irony alert" button after reading reading your post. ;) Edited April 2, 2011 by Xray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Coates Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 > having read the complete works of Eco and PynchonXray, I see your "Hmmm" and double it.Had Jeffaronious know that ND has read the -complete- works of Eco and Pynchon, he would have immediately accorded him the status of Literary Expert and the rarefied status where even his s### don't stink.(I personally am willing to bow down before ND now that I know this and beg him humbly to forgive my ever having questioned any view that he has expressed on literature or home repair.)
