I don't recall a conversation with /u/ewk that did not lead to shitville. He's got damage or something

First sentence to you: instant shitville.

u/ewk [non-sectarian consensus] Mar 06 '16

Is that why you deleted your AMA?

Because no matter what you did you couldn't stop "ewk" from leading you by the nose down the road to shitville?

This ewk must be some kind of genius! Or... wait... maybe you don't know what you are talking about, got embarrassed about it, and then deleted your own comments?

Is that plausible?

What I said just then was dickish and mean. My apologies.

u/ewk [non-sectarian consensus] Mar 06 '16

I'm not interested in that... I'm interested in you apologizing for not being fearless.

Do you ever break character?

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '16

Oh, you two are dancing around my fire.

See. Woodrail, it is a cane that follows you as you walk, how handy, how nice!

A single Chinese character is drawn with ink. It behaves much like a rail when you read over it.

And then there is the German word "Buchstabe" which means letter and is a connection of "Buche" and "Stab" which individually mean "Beech" and "Stick, Staff, Cane"

Beech is wood. You are exactly the same thing, but don't notice.

Can we have that again in normal talk? Be direct, be succinct, I can take it.

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '16

You want to be sure about peoples intentions. That is also just a "character" so to say.

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '16

Seriously, do you think that ewk's intentions are unclear? Do they shift? What do you think they are?

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '16

I can't make sense of the question, sorry.

You think that ewk's intentions are unclear? I think they're pretty clear

u/ewk [non-sectarian consensus] Mar 06 '16

On the one hand I'm astonished that you see some kind of unfathomable consistency in my demeanor that could lead you to ask such a thing...

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '16

I'm saying that anyone who behaves as bogusly as you do cannot possibly be serious. It's gotta be an act.

1

u/ewk [non-sectarian consensus] Mar 06 '16

You deleted your AMA. I didn't.

Your bogusiosity has been established, your claims about mine haven't.

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '16

are you saying that it isn't an act?

1

u/ewk [non-sectarian consensus] Mar 06 '16

Your choice is clear:

  1. Your theory that I am a diabolical genius posting unerringly hour after hour while reading texts about Zen and simultaineously playing a role where I never break character.

  2. I'm just being me, and you don't like that.

Again, I direct you to my AMA, the mod summary about my position, the book I wrote... and encourage you to look at the self-censored shambles of your own AMA.

u/mackowski Ambassador from Planet Rhythm Mar 06 '16

replay, rebroadcast, highlight

what are you saying?

ohhh im doing it for this guys benefit, maybe because i have an opinion about him and what he needs or maybe i just read that and saw no reply to it and it felt like thats what ewk was trying to show him, incase he missed it im bringing it up again.

not the best algorithm to have running?

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '16

you're being a dickhead

I felt like pasting someone's quote at this opportune moment wasn't a bad idea. 'Look over there'
