I was rather amused when I got the link to this post. Obviously, the blogger needs to have his final say after failing to force his opinion down the throat of everyone else in the comment section of Endoh’s blog post here.
I find this part of the post the most amusing:
Especially since he keeps contradicting himself with statements like, for example, on one page that says “the taxation of petrol in Singapore was never designed as a measure to counter traffic congestion”, and on another page that says “I do not deny petrol taxation is one of the various methods on top of ERP and higher road-tax charges etc. [to control traffic growth]”.)
Erm… there is actually a contradiction here?!
For example, it is my considered opinion that a 10-cent coin was never designed specifically for the purpose of prying the cover off a tin of Milo. Yet at the same time, I also do not deny it can be used for that purpose, on top of a screwdriver, or a spoon.
Am I being contradictory, when all I was doing was simply making my stand clear? Is the blogger trying very hard to prove to everyone with his example of a ‘contradiction’ that he is challenged in the department of logic?
Anyway, it was within this blogger’s right to comment on Endoh’s post, but if all he wanted to do was to point this out, no one would really object to that!
Unfortunately, the blogger obviously believe strongly enough that his perceived reality is the way the rest of the world is looking at the matter (or perhaps how the rest of the world should look at it). This is alarming because the question here is no longer whether the blogger’s comprehension capabilities is impaired, but also if there’s a more serious and fundamental problem with his mental state – something like that of Adolf Hitler in its infancy – whereby he should seek immediate and professional psychiatric assistance…
I would hope it’s not something that serious, but rather that the blogger had obviously over-estimated his rather limited mental capabilities. Apart from failing to recognise how mistaken he was, the concept of ‘agreeing to disagree’ must have been beyond his capability to grasp. In fact, when confronted with that option, it must have triggered yet another hitherto unknown mental deficiency, which caused the blogger to ‘pitch tent’ in the comment section of Endoh’s blog post for some time trying to force his opinion down the throats of anyone who dares to oppose him!
Nothing insightful or valuable was really offered in that period, though the blogger would dispute that as he repeat the same old shit in an impressive number of ways. On top of that, a blog-less wonder which staunchly defended the blogger has caused me to wonder if that wasn’t a sign of a bout of schizophrenia. * shudders *
Even so, the blogger’s lack in debating skills is far less glaring than his obsession with making people see things in one way – the way he sees it. That’s clearly a mild form of mental sickness.
However, I am a little puzzled why he has finally written this piece, when he has been content with ‘defecating’ on the comment section of Endoh’s blog for the better part of two days. But let me hazard a guess on what drove him over the edge:
The Akismet plugin in Endoh’s WordPress setup got so ‘upset’ with this blogger’s comments that even the bot has marked those comments as spam and deleted them automatically.
And that, would be classic example of a level of idiocy that really takes the cake!
