[QUOTE="Beginning of the End, post: 5391794, member: 55271"] I'm assuming that's your way of saying "no". What I originally wrote was this: "What the OP explicitly stated was that he DIDN'T have anything in mind." Within the important, and explicitly quoted context, of Malenkirk trying to figure out what the GM wanted him to do. You responded by quoting me accurately and saying: "fireinthedust never said he had nothing in mind about the statue et al." At this point, everything was OK. You were wrong, of course. Fireinthedust had said that he had nothing in mind insofar as "what the PCs should do", but you weren't actively misquoting me yet. But the [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/5389673-post91.html]next time you responded[/url], you wrote: "The OP never said the statue had no meaning." Who said anything about meaning? Not me. But I guess if we interpret "meaning" as "whatever the GM had in mind for the PCs to do", then it's still a fairly accurate portrayal of what I said. Unconsciously giving you the benefit of the doubt, I responded in good faith. But then you [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/5390071-post104.html]wrote[/url]: "You, however keep insisting that there is nothing to figure out about the statue..." Which now has absolutely nothing to do with what I actually said. And then your wrote: "Or, to return to point, the simple fact that I pointed out that your claim that the statue has no 'secret'..." Which is also something I've never written in this thread. So, to boil this down: On the one hand, you're apparently debating with some fantasy version of what I said that you've concocted out of wholecloth. On the other hand, you've professed a complete unwillingness to re-examine your fundamentally flawed premises while insisting that I respond to the creakily erected pillars of false logic you've built on top of those flawed premises. Is there any point in continuing this conversation? Not until you've changed your modus operandi. The Emperor has no clothes, and I'm not going to waste my time commenting on his fashion choices. Have a good day. [/QUOTE]
