Hey!

[cladking]

I have been hounded by a couple of characters who follow me around the net and are quite obnoxious.  Some of the PM's and posts they've put on sites  I visit are remarkable.  It wasn't noticed when they signed up just to taunt me and caused a perfectly good thread to be trashed.  It wasn't noticed they signed up on 11-4 of last year and haven't been seen since 11-7.  

I'd like to start posting here again in a much reduced manner.   There are going to be a lot of news stories coming out of Egypt in the near future and I'd like to just interject some facts ands logic in the maelstrom of interpretation.

 

I hope there are no objections.

Not quite as good as not posting at all, but welcome back.

That would make a pleasant change.

You were one of the last people I expected to welcome me back so I'm going to take that as a good 'omen". 

...Congratulations on your promotion.

Cladking;

It's been a long time. I missed you.

I am sorry that you had to deal with this, but it is common on many forums and supported by some administrators. I think they try to be fair here. The only real complaint I have is with the "click it squad" that I have been thinking of renaming the "idiot squad", but I am not sure if that is acceptable. (chuckle) And there are not enough philosophers here.

You and I study different things, but I will look forward to reading your thoughts.

I certainly won't object. Don't worry about Strange, as he seems to have some anger issues of late, but will probably work them out.

I will object if you disappear again without giving me a way to contact you. Send me a PM and let me know how you have been.

I've missed you and this place as well.  I've got a few sites I can talk "science" but there are few good sites for philosophy and fewer good posters about consciousness.

I'm still dealing with it.  Of course the only thing I normally do is ignore them altogether.   This is the first time I've posted anything at all about the situation.

It's curious how studying the pyramids is leading me straight to the nature of consciousness and machine intelligence.   I suppose everything ultimately leads to the nature of consciousness and any understanding of consciousness in the days of silicon implies things about programming.  

I had thought my unique perspective was founded in reality but since 2006 I've found even my most cherished beliefs are false or only true from specific perspectives.  

I fear I may not be talking much philosophy here however.  My presence here is important to me to protect a thread and to prevent the dissemination of falsities I'm expecting to come out of Egypt for the next couple years.    The less I post the less I'll wear my welcome thin.

Noted. 

I don't mind being contacted to discuss anything I post about.  I believe my eMail is visible. 

I'll PM you later.
