On Words, Meanings, And How Not To Be An Idiot

December 17, 2018 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

A primer on how humans communicate and how words mean things and how you can understand what they mean and not derail a conversation into pointlessness.

Let’s suppose I say “Democrats are a cancer upon society” in relation to say, their attempting to block the badly needed Border Wall with Mexico (which Mexico is gonna pay for).

It’s very clear I am speaking about Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and their current actions.

My aunt is a Democrat. I am very clearly not hating her because that would be retarded.

When you come in and go “what about your aunt” it does not have anything to do with the conversation at hand, it does not have anything to do with you, you are just derailing a discussion for no purpose other than concern trolling. Either that, or you don’t understand what I’m talking about and therefore it’s best not to comment.

Now this is an analogy, which I know talks past some people just because it requires logical thinking, but apply this to ComicsGate when I am speaking on the topic. Think before commenting. Thank you.

If you prove you can’t understand how this works after this communication, you are getting autoblocked. I’m not spending time on this.

    Just read both of today’s posts. I watched EVS and others associated with him until he went bat shit crazy about who owned Comics Gate. Then they went after you for not disavowing Vox. While the EVS club is busy talking, I have actual comics in my hands from Vox and you. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to find a beautiful hard cover copy of Flying Sparks in my mailbox Saturday. I had completely forgotten that I would be getting one. It’s great, way to go Jon!

    Look at that. A guy disengages, and STILL people talk about him.

    You’re living rent-free in their heads, Jon. This is both pretty awesome and, I can imagine, quite annoying.

    I refuse to take sides on the Comicsgate controversy except to back indies against the SJW-controlled Big Two. EVS has unfortunately drunk the Kool-Aid, thinking that if he virtue signals against the Alt-Right, the snowflakes will leave him alone. They won’t. You and Vox have delivered product, and that’s what counts.
