How far does the golden apple roll?
You decide.

2005-05-04 [nokaredes]: why?

2005-05-04 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: because through questions, you learn answers, duh. That is, if you want answers.

2005-05-04 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: and by understanding answers and adding to the cache of data and knowledge you carry around in your braincomputer, you become a more complete human.

2005-05-04 [sapphiresphinx]: I think Elftown is sorely lacking in intelligent conversation as well. Although that has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation. :P

2005-05-05 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: what are you doing to change that?

2005-05-05 [sapphiresphinx]: having intelligent conversation everywhere possible, I suppose...

2005-05-05 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: ask questions relentlessly of everyone about anything

2005-05-12 [nokaredes]: I do that, but in real life. ^_^

2005-05-12 [sapphiresphinx]: I do that, but it just gets me in arguments. People don't appreciate questions all the time :P

2005-05-12 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: well I appreciate them here. And what makes this not real life?

2005-05-13 [nokaredes]: 'cause it's 2-D. 0.o

2005-05-13 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: No it's not. There you are, 3-D, reading the 3-D electodes in front of you, which shoot out little letters and other such symbols that some other very real 3-D person sent you. There are very real thoughts and feelings and people involved. What makes this not real?

2005-05-14 [nokaredes]: Then I don't know. I'm just used to calling any conversations here part of my 'Elftown life' and conversations using my voice my 'real life'. *shrugs*

2005-05-15 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: But then who are you when you're logged on here? Aren't you still the same you you are when you log off and stand up and walk away?

2005-05-15 [nokaredes]: No, actually, I try to blend in more when I get off the computer; here, I couldn't care less how many people hate me. So, I suppose, here is more 'real life' than anywhere else. ^_^

2005-05-15 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: Why don't you do the same in "real life"? Why don't you practice the same social freedom and disregard elsewhere?

2005-05-15 [sapphiresphinx]: Well, it's a bit hard for someone to beat the crap out of you for being obnoxious online ;) and I'm not a big lover of pain, and I'm assuming our friend of the multiple names here(:P) isn't either :P

2005-05-16 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: I don't know who you're referring to, but I personally like a bit of pain now and then. And do you really think that you'd be beaten for being yourself? If this sort of thing would happen, perhaps you should think twice about who you spend your time with.

2005-05-16 [nokaredes]: 'Our friend of the multiple names'...? >.> <.< // I don't do the same thing in 'real life' because...it's different here than there.

2005-05-16 [sapphiresphinx]: I was referring to Never Been Kissed ;) And it's not who I hang around with, it's the people at my school. I don't usually care anyways, and I'm always being told I'm awfully smartassed/loudmouthed/opinionated for someone so tiny...personally I think that, and being a girl, is the only reason I haven't had the crap beat out of me yet :P

2005-05-16 [nokaredes]: I've had the crap beat out of me. As it is, I am very antisocial, and get called 'Geek' behind my back (as if they thought I couldn't hear them...or mind being called a geek. I mean, I am a geek...so, it doesn't bother me. But they were trying, and that's what counts. *stops rambling*)
