I Am a Thinker and Analyser

I am a deep thinker and analyser. I will often reconsider what I am going to say hundreds of times before opening my mouth. Sadly not all the time, I wish I would have considered more sometimes, but often. I go back over past conversations and think of how I could have said it better or better convey my meaning.

I am an opinionated person and willing to defend my position with what logic I have and by the vertue of reason.

I enjoy a good debate with someone who is willing to focus on the issue on task and bring connections to it rather than change the subject. I enjoy debating when I can sharpen my argument through their attack and defense. It also brings the opportunity to sharpen my intellect and learn new things, and maybe change my opinion if their argument is good.

I am not entirely sure how to break this to you, but this is SW, you know. You are in the domain of the diaper obsessed, the frustrated arrested adolescent and the suicidal. The metaphysics department is two doors down on the left.

Please don't harass this young man, while he's thinking.

@Archiesgirl: Oh go on. Let me, let me.

@Archiesgirl: I bet you could distract him, my dear.
@Steerpike: @Archiesgirl: Please do... I am up for the challenge. I know what domain I am in. But see, I have found you... So what does that say. There are gems here I am sure. And besides a diaper obsessed frustrated adolescent might find they are not quite up to the challenge of an all out debate with me. And if they are then I have something to learn. So game on!
SW-User
@Steerpike: very well, have at it
SW-User
@Steerpike: he called me a gem, I think he's pretty freaking brilliant! However, I won't be distracting him... you know what today is!

@Archiesgirl: Oh dear, I was thinking of lethargically frolicking with my bacchantes.
[[i]Soto voce[/i]: If I tire, flaunt your shapely ankles at him and I shall sneakily poke him with my bodkin]

@mar3sword: Metaphysics at nine yards, sir?
Steerpike · 46-50, M
@Archiesgirl: Oh, you always go all gushy when someone calls you a gem.

[Today? Not the anniversary of that thing we did with the nuns?]
SW-User
@Steerpike: I cannot even show the ankles today!! Beware those Bacchantes, they do have a wild side!!

I've always wanted to watch a duel and a metaphysics duel, of all things!!!
@Steerpike: What shall we duel in metaphysics?

@mar3sword:
This house maintains that identity is dependent on physical continuity.

Discuss with reference to one of the following:
Bishop Berkeley
Heidegger

@Steerpike: @mar3sword:
Wow, that got boring fast!!

@Steerpike: My lovely, bikini-clad assistant, Ms. @Archiesgirl, will now twirl a bit as she sets up the scoreboard ·
Steerpike · 46-50, M
@Archiesgirl: Do a few quick twirls.

[PS Nothing at all boring about identity - it holds a great fascination for you, if memory serves]
SW-User
@Steerpike: Sorry, in honor of the flirt free day, AG is actually clad in a flour sack!
SW-User
@Steerpike: We cannot discuss [i]that[/i] in front of this young man!!
Steerpike · 46-50, M
@Archiesgirl: Get it off woman.

[Direct rather than flirtatious]
SW-User
@Steerpike: well if it's a directive, it should be acceptable!! Bye bye flour sack....twirl!

@Archiesgirl: The nuns, you mean? Well, it wasn't the entire convent and they did drop charges eventually.
SW-User
@Steerpike: you promised to never bring up the nuns again!!!!
@Archiesgirl: @Steerpike: My, my, you two are entertaining.

@Steerpike: Unfortunately I do not have time at the moment to research the names you mentioned above, seeing as I do not know them already. I am interested to know more about what you mean by physical continuity. And I agree Identity is of the up most importance and not at all boring.
@Archiesgirl: The nuns? Now my curiosity is also peaked.
Steerpike · 46-50, M
My dear young chap ... Socrates was forced to drink hemlock as a result of corrupting the young, so I cannot tell you the details of @Archiesgirl's antics with the mother superior et al. Suffice it to say that no animals were harmed ... well, except the odd goat.
SW-User
@mar3sword: @Steerpike: I don't think I caused the peaking this time so I'm still on target for my challenge, right?
SW-User
@Steerpike: the goat had it coming and I didn't hear the MS complaining.... once she came to and I doubt she would've even if there was no ball gag!
