More just because

[Joseph Tracy]

 When I  first read Pychon, and as it has become an important lens for thinking about art, politics, humans and stuff,  I found and continue to find an irreverent and kindred spirit with an anti-colonialist, anti plutocracy anarchy friendly way of writing. I soon wanted to talk with others about this amazing body of work so found the list. And I truly appreciate it wide open forum. But I am different from several here in having a low tolerance toward my self and others for insult and drawn out personal arguments. Friendly prodding is fine, disagreement is good and needed, as intense as you like as long as there is respect evident, the shared convoction that logic accuracy and facts matter. But taking things personally gets tiring and internally disruptive fast. I don’t want to make others feel small and don’t need to interact with people who bring that urge out in me. It seems quite simple to purge ad hominem from personal interactions, especially written communication. You decide and follow through.  I do allow myself the occasional insult to the kings and queens of culture and government but even that can be a bad and unpersuasive habit. Someone wants to call Hillary the queen bitch of the neo cons, fine, you want to call  Bush the evil halfwit, or Trump a mafia scumbag, have at it. Same for insulting me. Have fun. Just don’t expect me to get involved anymore. I’ve had my fill of this kind of discourse.  I've got an email app with prefences and I know how to use it.
