I am Vanya.

I wanna stay sharp with details but am tired of PF. May not be long before I'm banned here, (this kind of segregated and choked forum makes me sick, but it is needed so as not to get too sloppy or deluded). Be a dove and PM about what you don't like so I don't have to re.reg once a week.

@Vanya,

@VideCorSpoon,

But since you mention it, it would be interesting to explore those issues you underline about philosophy forums. In what way do you suppose the forum is segregated and choked?

There seem to be quite a few indexes. This is how the metropole works, a city is walls.

And a very detailed rules list.

I checked this forum out a year ago or so, laughed and left. I'm hoping there will be plenty of really detailed anal sorts here to learn from, as neuroticism has its virtues too.

before the fact

That would be difficult. I just mean I'm hoping for a warning and deleted posts rather than just bans. But I see the rules have a 3 tier system, so that's nice.

ducks

The duck is the most metaphysical of animals, it inhabits all three sides, land, water and sky.

@Vanya,

There are rules? Damn I should probably read those. Still, welcome, make yourself at home, don't perceive yourself as imprisoned by anything until you walk into a wall etc.

@Kolbe,

qua-ck duck). LOL! Get it? Aristotle's Metaphysics Zeta chapter 2? Ontological substance? The nature of being? Being qua being? Qua as qua-ck? No? Anyone? Anyone???? Oh well.

As always, welcome to the forum!

I guess if you were ever to find a forum with little or no rules, it's either filled with people that are very interested in the subject or no one at all.

"Funny enough" I'm involved in a little experiment of this sort. We'll see what happens over the next few months, it's only a few weeks in at the moment. I see a rule about not advertising other phil. boards, but I don't think competition will be a problem, for purely academic purposes -- here is the experiment for your perusal: ADVERTISING REMOVED

Also, would a duck be a metaphysical animal. Seems more like you extol some sort of omnipresence upon the majestic duck with the realms it inhabits rather than the metaphysical aspects of duck being a duck in itself (duck qua-ck duck). LOL! Get it? Aristotle's Metaphysics Zeta chapter 2? Ontological substance? The nature of being? Being qua being? Qua as qua-ck? No? Anyone? Anyone???? Oh well.

That's just the sort of thing I was hoping for here. Text reference, quotes; that's damn nice to see. If you're curious, this was the post I saw that 'caused' me to register, http://www.philosophyforum.com/forum/philosophy-forums/existentialism/2818-existentialism-dead.html Names, dates, titles, nice!

Is there an ongoing board joke about birds or chickens going on here or something?

Of course, you are not compelled to be on the forum, and you can depart whenever you like. Feel free. Just follow the rules. Rules are not imprisoning. In fact they liberate. No one could drive if there were not rules such as everyone drives on the right, and everyone stops for a red light.

Let's discuss this in the threads; is there one going on this?

See you in the threads!

Welcome Vanya. Hope you find this place suitable.

Regging once a week is not an issue because once you are gone, your gone! A word to the wise, don't get yourself banned. Smile

We're pretty laid back and friendly around these parts overall.

You seen the rule?... The link was removed. Please re-read the rules.

Again, warm welcome to you. In your profile there is a link to your forum which is not necessarily an issue. We do hope you enjoy the community.
