Sorry, this is entirely off-topic. But I refuse to be misunderstood.

[/quote]Ramana, where in my post did I imply otherwise? The whole point of my (multi-para) satirical exaggeration at the end of that post - wherein I ridiculed only myself note - was expressly to indicate that you would not make 'flat out axioms'. (In fact, my hyperbole alleged that you were ultimately incapable of doing so and that I alone had that 'talent'.)
You can't possibly take offence. How could you, when I have given you no reason.
[quote name='Husky' date='06 March 2010 - 12:34 PM' timestamp='1267858614' post='104894']Never mind, Ramana. I will train you to be as expert as I am in making impossible statements. The first thing you need to lose is your total innocence in erring: you must commit them blatantly and willfully. Next, you should quit making rare, minor, insignificant inconsistencies and focus on frequent, impossibly large and fundamental errors like I do. "The world is flat. Don't argue with me" type thing.
With constant practice over the entire rest of your life, you may perhaps one day reach a level, still comparing very infavourably with mine, but much improved from .... No, it's no good. I'm misleading you. You'll never get there: it's a gift only I possess.[/quote]
This is getting ludicrous. One isn't even allowed to make fun of oneself on this forum anymore for fear others will totally misconstrue things to then feel slighted themselves. I demand the right to be the butt of my own ridicule as much as I feel like it. And no one who *wrongly* (and incomprehensibly) feels addressed by silly insults that I direct at my own person shall stop me. :melodrama: <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

(^ Ramana: note how I made fun of me again and not you.)
