Chris, if everyone disagrees with me and nobody here (or in the world - it’s hard to tell just what group you’re claiming to speak for) values creativity in the least, then hey - that’s fine with me. I value what I value and, quite frankly, don’t give a fuck what other people make of my values. Just as I don’t give a fuck if you don’t value creativity.

That said, my values are valued. Just as your values are valued. There are enough people in the world that at least some of the values that any single person has are valued by somebody else.

But you should know that your response - reading my querying of what you value, and responding by making a blanket claim that basically amounts to ‘no one cares what you think’ is bordering on pathological. I doubt very much you’re going to read that and think ‘you know, you’re right’ and look at addressing your issues, but I had to say it anyway.

I think it is your values which are not valued.

According to whom Chris? You assumign some position of authirity again? What ever leads you to believe that you speak for others?

It’s not just that it’s not creative enough for me, it’s not at all creative. In no way can using the same word over and over again be construed as creative. But hey, if you don’t value creativity that’s cool with me. Each to their own I say.

‘The moderator’? Do you mean Ant? Are you trying to sound obsequious? I don’t believe Ant has mentioned anything specifically to me about calling people names as I’ve not called people names. But I abide by the requests that have been directed to all here, namely civility. I don’t endorse calling people names. All I said was ‘if you’re going to call people names’ (which clearly you are) at least be creative about it so we can get some entertainment out of it.

What’s your obsession with the word ‘mediocre’ by the way?

**********************************************

You should reread your posts before questioning what you, yourself, said.

I believe the moderator has mentioned to you not to call people names, creatively or otherwise. I suggest you heed his request.

a. Who said anything about obsessive?
2. perceived meaning is subjective, as is the dilution of said meaning
- I don’t find it annoying, I just think it’s uncreative. If you’re going to go around calling people names, at least come up with something fresh.
