I suspected that someone would comment like this. I meant no offence when I
posted, and auctually I find your comments childish. At least my questions
were sincere and not sarcastic. I dont know how long you have been with the
group, you may have been with them a long time. Since I mainly saty in the
castle area and posts our paths might have never met. Just that I dont
remember you from the RTL years ago, so I am assuming you are new? Who knows
or cares. I just find that this group has always been friendly and polite and
that lately things are starting to change here, especially since most of us
left rtl due to the wise and sarcastic rude people that kept posting garbage.
I'm sure you meant no offence, and I know my previous post couldn't have
caused any offence, so really I do think the reply you made was kind of rude
to jest about a question that could or could not have validity.
So please be more kind in future we all have the same hobby and are here at
lugnet by Privilege and nor right.
Doyle (to all who have been around a while know thats my real name)

| Doyle, I think David's point is, how do we know anything with 100% certainty? Without going too deeply into epistimology (we HAVE done just that on off-topic.debate, you could review it if you're interested) I'd claim that we know things in general (...)

| (...) If you "know" that, you are either deluded or God. So which is it? Actually, since your previous post (the second one in this thread, that is), did in fact cause me some moderate offense, I guess I know which it is. Jasper (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
