Pardon me, Andre, I took, "this is why I chose to stop conversing with you" as an adamant and permanent conclusion. Perhaps I construed a little harshly. Perhaps I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder, so to speak. After all, you'd just be joining a growing throng so why shouldn't I take it like that?
If you meant it of a more momentary nature, then I take back my momentous construal. Talk to me when you're feeling better, or more in the mood, that's fine. As to the rest of your non-conversation, I don't know what to say. You want to discuss any of this with me, or show me how consciousness can be seperated from (how I define) language, be my guest. But a gentleman uses argument, not insult, to make his points.
