It will be self evident in the thread. Just me having fun with

Just because two individuals seem to share the same realistic and
conservative thoughts on what's wrong with the world of cruising in
particular as well as the world in general, it does not indicate that they
are out of touch or one and the same. Because you concluded erroneously that
such was the case should it not require some self-examination on your behalf
about how your feelings have led you astray and why?

The cause usually involves setting more store by your feelings than by your
intelligence. Setting great store by feelings is what liberals do. It is the
main cause of liberals being wrong most of the time and why just about
everything they attempt ends in failure. Rather than valuing the mind
liberals value emotions. Things that make them feel good are paramount.
However, in their search for the feel good, they can't seem to help noticing
all the things that make them feel bad. They then become preoccupied trying
to control what they cannot control in an attempt to eliminate the sources
of stress and end up quite discontented as they dwell more and more on that
which makes them feel bad.

Examine also your comfort in your feeling that you and those like you who
feel rather than think are the norm and real thinkers such as Bob and myself
who give little credence to feelings, as far as you are concerned, are some
sort of anti-social fanatics. Simply not the case!

You are looking through a lens that does not focus properly. It is clouded,
smeared and shuttered by the various filters you have put in place to
shelter your world. Yet, there you are squinting through a faulty instrument
proclaiming that you are a good example of humanity and somebody else whose
eyes still see by virtue of the fact that they are wide open, healthy and
free of obstructions is some sort of pariah?

In other words your self-imposed sensory deprivation makes it easier for you
to come to conclusions but, due to your limited view, the conclusions you
come to are generally faulty. As a consequence of this you have become
completely out of touch. But, how can you ever know it since you shut out
any and all logical discourse that represents an accurate reality?

Can you say self-immolation?
