martin said:I don't think of Chris as a bad person, I would rather call him a bad boy. A very naughty one.
And I see the humor of it too (as you know ) but I also see the other side. He is bullying people all the time and some have left because of him. And he is misusing this forum for his own purposes. That's not funny at all.
Part of the problem is, I think, that we have become used to him and his ways and don't see anymore how odd the situation really is.
He is testing the limits of our tolerance and how far will we allow him to go? This is a clear case of 44.1 if you ask me.
pakua said:I'm constantly surprised why you guys are so put off by Chris.
Is it because he has a different view of Yi?
Is it because it seems he thinks he's always in the right, or he thinks his is the only right view?

lightofreason said:This is REALLY silly thinking - it is akin to saying "I wont read an introduction to Mathematics until they make the numbers smaller!"
What this also implies is your professional understanding of recursion is obviously limited.
stevev said:If I had any respect for your opinion I'd be prepared to discuss my understanding of recursion, which is pretty good, use it all the time.

We study and play with this thing called Book of Changes. It seems that any serious student would, over the course of a few years, exhibit changes in themselves, hopefully for the better. Chris is onto a very cool system, but if that system doesn’t come through as refinements in his person, then why would that system interest me? I want to learn from people who are the evidence of what they know.
Nicely put!Chris is onto a very cool system, but if that system doesn’t come through as refinements in his person, then why would that system interest me? I want to learn from people who are the evidence of what they know.
lightangel said:You insist that others shoud prove you wrong but you have not proved yourself right yet. I think you are the one that really needs to grow up. I'm sure that deep inside there is a nice person lurking.. give it a try.
sparhawk said:Everybody is here for their own purposes! Take me, for example, I'm here for the ladies... (and that's a real misuse of the place...)
Although, Martin, I've no luck with any of them yet. The only one that liked me, and winked an eye at me, was Val and she's gone... sigh... Life is unfair.

lightofreason said:get on a plane to the Netherlands and get Martin to introduce you to Margi.
pakua said:Hey Martin,
I have a question for you. Of everyone here, you have had the most ongoing discussion with Chris, which I usually found interesting, and I assume you must have at some point, or you wouldn't have continued all this time.
What was your objective?
If it was to obtain or exchange information, wasn't that successful?
If it was to convert him, surely you can't be upset because you failed?
What happened all of a sudden to get you so upset you have to demonize someone? If I can't convince someone of something, I let them go and I move on.
"Well, as long as you don't respond or at least don't respond with an opinion that differs from his you will be okay, I think."
That's not my perception. As long as you respond with respect I see he does the same.
pakua said:What happened all of a sudden to get you so upset you have to demonize someone?
pakua said:If it's too much trouble for you to answer, then you can just ignore them.
pakua said:Do you give up on the person and indulge in name-calling, temper tantrums, banning?
pakua said:"I guess the only thing we can do is avoid judging what people are. Their behavior may be "bad" ...
stevev said:so averse to judging humanity, we have a battery of tests we apply to everything else. I could understand if it were an aversion to bad judgment but it’s never expressed in that way. PC sucks !
Happy holidays, or as I always say, thank christ for christmas.
heylise said:I tried to find a field of meaning for each ideogram, the ones of the names of the hexagrams. Something which encompasses all meanings that character has had and still has, or has acquired. Because I think, that a character does not have a meaning that can be translated into one word.
