If poking fun at funny names is a worthy use of time, a message board is a veritable treasure trove.

That said, there is no question that I am, simultaneously and ill-advisedly, both too sensitive and too fierce. The good news is, my disposition being so woefully wrong for politics AND bureaucracy, I am the more persuasive in important matters at hand, revolving around the replacement of an outrageously corrupt government right here at home.

Originally, my post was as above only and by that, I stand.

The rest I added because...you cannot have failed to observe, message boards are also flocked by provocateurs...the remark had a smart-ass property that may inspire nimble typing, but seldom noble thoughts.

THAT said, I am off to talk to people about We The People, but will respond to the rest of your post later, if that is agreeable.

I leave you with two thoughts.

One, criticism is not always born of jealousy.

Two, constant criticism...cause for which defies the laws of probability...implies a need to alter one's own behavior or alter one's company, or both.

Well EVERY government is corrupt so the one you replace this one with will be corrupt too. America's government is powerful only to the extent that we balance man's corrupt tendencies. The founding fathers understood that. Even in religion power corrupts for man is corrupted by his very nature. We are fallen from the garden and our righteousness is like rotting fruit on the ground.

Yet your stand in the case of Mister Spock's jealousy or lack thereof is superior to your quest for government change. Your lofty oratory performed in written style reveals you to be a liberal. Intellectually aggressive in pursuit of your truth. Yet would you compromise on the protection of Israel? And although oil is vitally important to our national interest, the preservation of Israel is even more important to the current government you seek to replace.

Of course some would say Eman is provocateur in chief and I would not complain about such a discription. But it is not my natural tendency but a reaction to provocation.

Two, constant criticism...cause for which defies the laws of probability...implies a need to alter one's own behavior or alter one's company, or both.[/quote]

Yet a shield of the provocateur is the charge of jealousy in the face of petty envious criticism.

Yet constant criticism from message board provocateurs is mere entertainment to its subject, not worthy of altering one's behavior or company. Applause would be in order.

Well Eman is sure that it goes right over your head but for the average person it IS apparent.

And then Eman applied the 'doubt that one can deny that one is doubting' paradigm to refute your contention that you doubted Spock's jealousy. I believe your postulation to be correct. The fact that Eman doubted that you could not doubt that you can doubt has nothing to do with your being unpersuaded about the Spock speculation. Moreover, linguistically speaking, doubt and being unpersuaded, though similar, have their own nuances that could lead to different conclusions. Good job sir. Yet Eman believes he could assuage your doubt and persuade you to support his postulation.
Spock is incapable of feeling jealousy of Eman. In order for Spock to feel an emotion such as jealousy regarding Eman, first two impossible conditions would have to be met:

A. Spock would have to actually exist.
2. Spock would have to be an even bigger loser than Eman.

I already expressed to the intellectual named Cheapseats that Mr. Spock has no emotions so could not feel jealousy. And Spock DOES exist and is not a bigger loser than Eman.

Nobody is... Do you purposely set yourself up like this?

Actually, the fictional race of the planet Vulcan in the Star Trek mythos, do indeed have emotions. They simply choose to refrain from allowing emotional responses to affect their reactions to events. And the fictional character of "Spock" was potryed as being half human and occasionally would, when caught off-guard, show emotional response.
