I'll stick to the surface of things when I post here.

It sounds interesting, wispeight. You should start a new topic.

No, you don't have to do that. Just remember the following:

1. New topic = new thread.

2. The main purpose of language is to communicate. You cannot rely on others divining your meaning psychically.

(I mean, you're not like this in real life, are you?)

I decided that I was not going to throw my Theosophical point of view onto this forum. This is the conclusion I've come to after reviewing my posts. All the communication I submitted in such an obscure manner, indicated to me that I did not want to, after all is said.

That mention toward only sticking to the surface of things was impulsive and probably hurt me more than anyone on the forum.

Morthoron, you should mind your knee-jerk replies, and the 'cannon to kill a mosquito' methodology. Actually, I don't mind one bit, it was quite impressive. Was it good for you too?

Why? Is it so bizarre as to mark you forever as a schismatic and heretical abomination?

Why? Clairvoyance is not a hallmark of this site. I think that's ovewr on Harry Potter.

Why? Some of us might be almost capable of thinking deep thoughts. Not as deeply as you, of course, but in the words of Oscar Wilde: "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking up at the stars" (or something to that effect).
