Well, as I say, let's not have another boring flame-war.
But in any case, I don't think it really needs pointing out, polemically or otherwise, that your latest tirade of personal abuse just doesn't address the point I just made - which was not about whether I am an egotist or not, but just about whether I may be a different SORT of egotist from a lot of the people who post on here.
Of course, I really don't know if "Camel-and-Black-Cock" guy, for example, DOES fall into the category of "narcissistic pseudo-Zen koan merchants" that I just referred to. Maybe - despite the "minimalism" and the whole "meta-comical" rather than just vulgarly "comical" "repetition ad absurdum" thng he's got going there - he ISN'T someone who's motivated by sterile vanity and self-regard but rather someone who is motivated by much healthier and more humanly promising emotions, such as an inextricable mixture of love and hatred for the sweet, charming, pitiless, nigger-fucking teenage Helen of Troy in question.
Which of these is actually the case with him will be revealed by whether or not we ever see him actually post MORE than his "meta-comical koan" involving the tireless permutation of the eroto-semantemes "Camel", "black", "cock" and "cunt" (oh, and "ass", just in case you Americans are feeling left out of things).
But all I was saying was that I am demonstrably NOT a "self-aggrandizer" at least in THIS sublime and haughty "you-been-Asian-sage'd" style of self-aggrandizement.
I'm happy to "dialogue" - at least in the basic sense of "exchange words and arguments" - with anyone, as indeed I am exchanging words and arguments with you know.
You won't get that from the "I'll just leave this here" brigade, who are the REAL Interwebz "cocks-of-the-walk" and think themselves much too "tough" to even be "Internet tough guys".
That's all I'm saying.
