Torsten Posted June 30, 2009 aren't they in their strictest definition somewhat opposite or at least mutually exclusive? ad hoc indicates something quite specific, while arbitrary is the opposite of specific. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torsten Posted July 1, 2009 wtf thelema, why did you change the entire content of this thread after replies were posted? please explain! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) 1, what was this about before you edited thelema? 2, what is this about now? 3, if you just wanna have a laugh ok, but caapi's responce already goes into totaly non understandable territory.

Torsten Posted July 1, 2009 thelema criticised this forum for not using the words ad hoc and arbitrary in the correct manner. Personally i can't find any example of how they could even be confused, so I think thel was talking out of his ass. Maybe he is just trying to work out if I am going to make good on my threat of giving warning points to people who delete threads or who change their meaning after others have posted. There's a warning point here waiting with his name on it, but I thought I'd give him a chance to explain or fix it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) hmm, i wonder what that has to do with me? apart from that, what you just said torsten, is an issue which is not easy to deal with. as a mod one has to balance off the benefits and the risks, and the right decision is often based on what is good for the forum, and not what is good for a single person or group. maybe this topic gives me now the chance to debrief about something.... i was told by a newish meber to "get real" after addressing him about self incrimination. allthough this made me a bit upset, i decided not to say anything and hoped the issue would be explained to him by another person than me, and thats what happend. i would hate to see thelema leave the forum because of small issues like what it seems to be all about. anyway, i can't comment on any thing about the terms ad hoc and arbitrary, as english is not the lingo i grew up with and far worse, i'm dyslexic and many words give me at times enormous trouble spelling. about condoleeza, yep, she sure is an attractive lady but i think some time will elapse till she might contact me (this is a joke!). but i know what her mail will say something like, my advisors have stated to me that sab's aproach to drug use is the way to go and that what we do here is, helping people overcomming addictions and that herbal drug use has the potential to make you a better person.

There's a warning point here waiting with his name on it, but I thought I'd give him a chance to explain or fix it. I already got a warning point for that (I think? My memory isn't as good as it should be these days....) Don't fuck with Torsten Edited July 1, 2009 by Teotz' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiral Posted July 1, 2009 Well I must admit it was very strange what Thelema did with this thread...he or she turned it on it's head Teo style...I usually quite like Thelema's post's as they are usually extremely quirky yet insightful and somewhat bang on...obviously a smart cookie too, I thought him and Mind expansion were gunna go off and get a room yesterday with their knowledge and input into the parasympathetic thread...amazing info they shared, most of it I had trouble understanding though... What PH said about the verbal warning he gave someone the other day and how they retaliated was a little amusing...seems some members only take guidance from other non moderating members and see Mods as class teachers if you will...anyways I sabotaged a thread recently after spitting the dummy but in my defense I did rectify it...but that was due to emotions on my behalf more than anything...still though T could have slammed me and give me a warning point...a lucky escape from the overposter.. .SAB coulda had a quiet week without me prattling on about everything and anything... oh well ...as you were.

mr b.caapi Posted July 1, 2009 <sigh> why do i always find myself caught up in these ones. lol. Sorry to confuse anyone with my "curing cancer" comment, I was just trying to be funny by throwing that in there as I have just lately watched a show called "Kevin Bacon cured cancer" . I am confused now too as to what this thread was about originally becaused the OP had already edited it before i commented. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thelema Posted July 3, 2009 hey, I can't really say I'm sorry. my intention was to generate a funny and somewhat confusing thread. objective achieved! And it wasn't done in the spirit of nastiness, rather one of gentle mischief and camaraderie. But I won't do it again, I wouldn't like it if others took the precedent and ran with it. OK, so to make this a site matter, has anyone noticed those 2 little white specks on the brown bar at the bottom of this thread? - the one with "enter keywords" on the left? One of them disguised says "site" and the other says "next". Sooooo, maybe we should start circulating an email around the internet with PH's name attached. Theoretically speaking,(using small world network theory) it could land in Condoleeza's inbox within the week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mac Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) if we cant get Condoleeza will Pauline Hanson do ? if not im sure baph will take her, im sure its a fantacy if his/hers (Albino redheads are pinker inside) Edited July 3, 2009 by mac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
