Default Now Do You Believe?

With this rush of literature being written by everyone, I once again propose the creation of the Literary Corner section, with the proposal of me, Mal, and possibly Observer moderating it. Any takers?

Moderating has little to do with an interest in the area, but yes, I still want a literature forum and believe it would be a good idea to have one. I don't see why there's a Programming forum which is rarely used while there could be a Literature forum which would seperare Critical Thinking discussions from writing.

The moderation thing is for those who like to fsk things up like Moogy just did.

First off, have you ever even read any of them? I'd say they compare fairly well to modern authors of today.

Second, you said it yourself. This is CT, not the G-Bin. So quit flaming.

Thirdly, once you start writing something better than Mal can produce, post it.

Lastly, to keep on topic, it's a good thing the Literature section is coming. Maybe I'll post something there sometime...

Well, yes, i have read Mals stories, and quite frankly i dont like them. Im sorry my opinion of modern day authors doesnt agree with yours. Secondly, im not flaming, im voicing my opinion that Mals stories suck, should i change my opinion for you? I dont think i should have to, or will, for that matter. Thirdly, like you and i have said, this is critical thinking, ill post my stories in the future IF we get a literature board.


Call this spam if you will but im just voicing my opinion on things.

Mal's stories have a sense of intelligent design that quite frankly Demon, would probably be better than anything you could produce. Now until you actually, WRITE SOMETHING, you have no business saying whose stories are shitty or not.

Arrgh, arguments on literary tallent are as pointless as those of religion. No one is going to stop doing what they want and believing what they believe no matter how well the argument is put forth.

EDIT But I still think mal's stories are okay.

I agree. I wouldn't have a problem with Demon's statement if he had as many stories in CT as I and Mal, but the fact that he flamed Mal with NOTHING in CT, that's what got me peeved.

i agree with demon, there needs to be a seperate forum for writing. i also agree with demon about the quality of mal's writings, but that's not really the point. even if i dont get anything out of his writing i'm sure he is, and apparently chromer is as well, which i guess makes sense.

"Frank Rizzo, the high school graduate mayor of Philadelphia whose ignorance is surpassed only by those who voted for him."

chromer you have a lot of ego that is in no way justified. you need to take a step back and realize how shitty all the little things that you're proud of are.

you are the sophists that put socrates to death because they were too proud to realize how little they knew.

you are a fucking joke.

I write because I enjoy writing. I'm sorry if certain people don't like it, but that's their bag. As soon as they see something new, they know not to waste time on it, so no harm no foul.

I've had a quasi successful publishing carreer thus far, though. I've submitted one piece and it was published.

I'm waiting to hear back on two more, at the moment. These three are just paying gigs.

I've also been contacted by a literary journal asking if they could use some of my stories in one of their newsletters.

The point of saying all of the above?

Self-reassurance that I can't possibly suck as much as those guys say =/

Mal

Alright. Start a thread that envokes deep conversation not about religion and I'll be happy to take my writing back a peg. The CT section has been in a slump, and only literary threads (for the most part) have been posted since after the slump began. There is the occasional religious debate, but without the authors, this would be a dead zone. And maybe it should be, judging by the average intelligence of the CT user.

(That was a stab at DotC, not Fojar)

Hey, it's no big, Fojar.

I say I write for myself. Half truth. The money isn't bad either.

The first story I sold netted me $30.

If these two catch, I'll make somewhere around $650.

You might not have taken a stab at Mal, but you sure as hell took a stab at me. Let me break down some of your statements Fojar.

Quote:
chromer you have a lot of ego that is in no way justified.
I seem to remember you also flaming me for the same stuff in the roleplaying thread. So it's inflated ego because I like to write and people enjoy it? Didn't think so. Nothing justifies an inflated ego but it seems to me that you're the only one who feels this way.

Quote:
you need to take a step back and realize how shitty all the little things that you're proud of are.
Wow. I need to take a step back and realize how bad my stuff is? Hmmm. Well let's see. So I should take a step back and dismiss an Honorary Certificate I received from President Bill Clinton in literature? I should step back from the numerous editorials I have had published in The Virginia Pilot, a Virginia based news syndicate? I could go on but Fojar, I am proud of my writings and I could care less if a noob who just started 2 months and has no literature in the forums tells me otherwise.

Quote:

That was purely intelligent and purely ingnorant on your part. If we are getting intelligent in our posts let me counter you with this: If I am the Sophist that put Socrates to death, you are the Nazis that put the Jewish to death because they thought they were superior and were afraid of the Jewish population's potential. Once again, you're the only one who is complaining Fojar.

Quote:
you are a fucking joke.
I'm sorry that you feel this way, but hey YOUR opinion is YOUR opinion. I don't hear anyone but you whining buddy. Have a nice day jackass.

Yeah, this is what he's talking about.

None of that means anything.

Well considering I didn't mention all of that before now, it was irrelevent to what he was talking about, therefore not making it suitable to be used in the argument. If none of what I said meaned anything, then surely the entire tirade he sent against me means jack squat but you make that call. Besides, Moogy you are the forum jackass, and I wouldn't take you seriously if you had the mind of Bill Gates and Ben Stein put together.

i'm not bashing you for your potential. it is my belief that everyone has unlimited potential... yes, even you.

my issue with you is that your talent to ego ratio is incomprehensible. my latest analysis has it at about i/1000, that's right, to get it right i had to use imaginary numbers. that's how fucking ridiculous it is.

the talent part will hopefully change with time.

your ego is something that will have to be popped by someone with more sway than myself i guess.
