I only stopped because I hoped that way you would stop referring to it as "deconstruction," which means something completely different.

Hey, whatever works! I hate it, whether its done on me or anybody else. And, after reading that definition thank you very much, I have a headache.

Hint: I think I use cognitive dissonance incorrectly too, but prefer my version of it.

Feel free to come up with a better one-word description, though. I promise to use it, if the occasion arises. :D

From the Wikipedia article:
...most of deconstruction's key proponents would object to such a definition...
So I guess it could also have Week's meaning as well. Hey, it's Wikipedia so just log on and add a new definition.
Besides, Bloom recently deconstructed one of my posts so he hasn't stopped yet. I find it too tiring to do all that cutting and pasting.


and BTW, 4000 posts:

Congrats Weeks

I always enjoy reading your "alternative" take on things....

And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

Thanks again all. Hey, Bloo, I just noticed that at least sometimes, I hyphenate "de-construction" so I'm okay after all! :lol:

Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention something in my rundown of post types.

I never discuss politics on the Forum. :wink:

That's the sort of attempt to ingratiate yourself we've come to expect. We're on to you, you know.
Hey, Bloo,
I believe it's still "Sir! Bloomfield, Sir!" Didn't you serve your country? :boggle:
I just noticed
Well, that's a steep claim if I've ever seen one. And how exactly did you do that? Let's discuss the epistemological assumptions at work here before I deign to read on.
that at least sometimes,
Is that like "perhaps not always"?
I hyphenate "de-construction"
Hyphens are a Communist plot. Rush Limbaugh (and you can say about him what you like) never hyphenates anything, except maybe lesbian-this-or-that
so I'm okay after all! :lol:
Self-affirmation above everything. Right. Whatever happened to standards?! :boggle:
