Yeah I think it's fair that we know something about @"Agustino"'s work, because he won't stop harping on about it. That and the magnificent jets of ur...
I seem to recall that some of the Leavers were banned or deleted or something. Last time I checked I couldn't get in. Got my posts file before that th...
I just read an interesting article on Aeon that might make it clearer what I meant when I said this: How do we understand sexual pleasure in this age ...
I guess I was thinking that facticity--which the laws give us, or can give us--does amount to descriptiveness, even if they don't amount to the metaph...
Just on the subject of descriptiveness (and sorry if I'm inappropriately fisking here)... Didn't she already supply the solution here: That is, the la...
We can't impose a delay, but there are two things we can do. There is a setting to require staff approval of all new users, and we can enable two anti...
Cool, but note that it's not your fisking that I expressed admiration for, but the parts of your posts in which you launch into your ranty opinions, w...
From a quick glance, it looks as if you've broken down his post quite fairly, leaving whole arguments intact. I tend to use "fisking" when it's more e...
Of course you do. Whereas you are somehow free of personal judgement? What you are saying might, as usual, be accurately rephrased as "I am right". We...
I think Fisking is useful when you need to simply destroy an interlocutor, such as a racist or pseudophilosopher or religious evangelist. But then we'...
Actually Gus, you're unusual among Fiskers in that you do put forward your own positive opinions. You put yourself on the line, and that is admirable,...
Well spotted. Not such a big problem, I wouldn't think (how did you uncover it?). We don't have direct access to the code to implement a fix, and ther...
Most often, in my experience, it is not. Thoughts often take more than a sentence to express, and habitual Fiskers break up these thoughts so as to ma...
Ah yes, I see. Me, I sacrificed my glorious musical talents to Mammon and my creative spirit was crushed by the relentless imperatives of capital. :wi...
Yes, also in the UK, but I like to emphasize the word's etymology, according to which it means someone who does something for the love of it, not for ...
Please, I'm an amateur, not a hobbyist. T Clark and Agustino are the only philosophical civil engineers I know, so I'm guessing it's just a delightful...
Me too. But changing position, taking on more responsibility and so on, can also be done in an established company. In any case, you were dead wrong t...
This is also a fairy tale, one we often hear from entrepreneurs. The successful ones, of course. The ones who give TED talks extolling the virtues of ...
It has been deleted and it will remain deleted, and if you post any similar evangelistic confusions, they will be deleted too, preferably before they ...
It's a philosophy forum and we try to maintain high standards. Discussions about conspiracy theories as a social or psychological phenomenon would be ...
This is a very common experience, and I don't think it's a sign of a serious lack of musical ability. In my experience, so long as you're able to sing...
I see that PlushForums have made a few changes lately. If you're interested, they're in their Twitter feed. For example... https://twitter.com/PlushFo...
Notice that you can agree with the Chinese party line, as presented by Erik, and still support Tibetan self-determination. Even if the Chinese brought...
