But it's OK for Thraxas to call me obnoxious before that (my comment was a retort to this) and OK for you to call me a jerk. Shame you don't dish out any long bans over those things, isn't it?



Nice.

You jerk...

Yeah, looking at my wording, you (understandably) have the wrong end of the stick of what I meant is: I'm not attacking people. I'm attacking the points.

I don't mean the flying crap comment at mods to imply I'm against authority etc. I mean I'm not specifically attacking anyone. Flawed point = I reply.

Point you think is flawless = You act like a jerk. You think it's OK to insult people who don't agree with you. This is a classic case of the Arrogant-Jerk Syndrome.

What? The only people I insulted decided to insult me in their replies in the first place. As I said, I don't care for the personal rubbish. I'm contesting points. Bring it down to personal levels and that's what you'll get in reply.

I also hope this is intended irony, considering your previous post too.

Great way to prove them wrong...



Its only flawed in your eyes, get off your pedestal its irratating the crap outa everyone.

I sometimes find the disagreements DavidR gets himself into I can't understand. Generally, I see that DavidR is more or less trying to be straight and objective and not think of the emotional response it may elicit, some would argue that it's irrelevant to a logical discussion. Especially if there's a point you find yourself disagreeing with, you will try you best to articulate an answer. So I do sometimes think people manage to get the wrong end of the stick. Sometimes I think the guy can make fair points.

However, there is a point I see a problem with in how DavidR posts, and maybe he can consider this point:



'Who' you're replying to, that is fair. Mods from what I understand like to be considered as members.

But the problem with the above quote is that you consider the points you're trying to blow up with logical fallacies as stupid, perhaps in your attitudes sometimes you'll treat them as stupid. Now, it's up to you to have the opinion whether or not they're stupid, that's fair - the feeling might be a mutual one. I mean there are things I often consider stupid...even on TGC, though I'll keep such opinions aside in a discussion in order to reason with that point of view, rather than to judge it. It's always possible that my judgment is wrong, though I'm less likely to see it that way, the more there is to back my judgment. I'm flawed. You're flawed. Jeku is flawed. INH is far, far from perfect, his flaws are unfathomable, though he'll never tell you of them.

I don't know. Do people agree with this observation? (except the obvious joke at INH) Is it a helpful one? If not, I'll crawl back into my hole with Elvis. (Admittedly, I'd rather be out of my hole, Elvis reeks of vinegar)

One more off topic thing:



I hope so. I loved the Palmer, especially David, he was awesome. If he was real, I'd shake his hand and refuse to let go. Season 3 was perhaps my favourite, so perhaps they've got good enough season material to play with. Particularly with Jack's little vengeance in season 3.



On Avatar, I've not had a chance to see it yet, I might see if I have any friends who haven't seen it yet and try and catch it next week, lots and lots of people seem to love it. Also I like what my tutor had to say about it on Facebook:

"It'd be cheaper and just as effective to drop acid and surf the Discovery Channel".

Oh, you know my flaws Sep. And don't tell me you didn't enjoy it...

On a more serious note: Is there any evidence that this 'post movie depression' is any more dangerous (or indeed any different) from normal depression. Depressed people become depressed from the most inane or trivial things are that's a whole part of the disorder, so why is this considered more strange just because it's a movie that's the trigger?

From my understanding, depression can be dangerous on many levels, I always understood that there are individual differences and triggers.

Though is it more strange for a film to be the trigger? I don't think so. If people are feeling that it is, then maybe they're not focusing so much on the condition of a person suffering from depression, but rather as a person becoming depressed from watching a film. Sufferers of depression have many possible reasons for ending up in that state, whilst a film might not be responsible in cause, but it is a trigger.

Perhaps it'd be like saying, "cannabis gave my uncle schizophrenia", cannabis doesn't cause schizophrenia, it triggers it. (yes, there is a difference) You could say the schizophrenia was already there, but locked up. It is possible another trigger might have caused it at a later date...I hope not because schizophrenia can be hereditary and well, he's a blood uncle. This is one of the main reasons I say 'no' to drugs.

Whilst schizophrenia and depression are different psychological illnesses, from what I understand, similar things can cause it. I think both are types of neuroses (schizophrenia definitely is).
