Re: Which ArmenianClub members would you most like to meet?
When wandering in MyspaceVille, I remember coming across profiles where ingenious statements were made; statements that would reflect an intelligent, playful, humorous, broad or deep mind. However, disappointingly, blogs and comments by the same person, often reflected a shallow, plain and inarticulate mind; suggesting that the ingenious statements may simply be the reflection of influences, of other minds.
The skinhead, known as "Armenian," does make, at times, posts that include statements of some intellectual value; however, whenever challenged and/or asked for an explanation/clarification, he replies with a logorrhea where the relevant and irrelevant are mixed in the quite inarticulate, disorganized and confused manner, a logorrhea that combines "epic tales," "editorials from sensationalist media outlets," half-truths, half-baked ideas, irrelevant "vulgarizations" that he has read at one point or another etc...a logorrhea that reminds me of what I once said:
"Do you have to vomit the books that you couldn't digest? It stinks!"
In such a situation, one can either
1. Analyze and dissect the logorrhea - to sort out the "ideas," replying both to the relevant and the irrelevant; an approach that results in a snowball, and, soon, the posts become unmanageably long. I have tried it, and later abandoned
2. Ignore him i.e. let him do; an approach that would bring us back to the days where the skinheads allowed themselves to aggress, harass, terrorize any member - or non-member - who would challenge their views
3. Simply confront them - with humor, derision or...; the only "viable" approach that is known to me, and if anybody knows a preferable one, then I'm all ears
