Not positive ? Well, for me it is ! To me, a demagogue is someone who really knows how to talk, to captivate attention, to be heard, to hear, to express himself in the clearest and most captivating way and has a real sense of improvisation. Somone that's good at talking, just like political people. They are good at that normally. Anyways, I'll take it as a compliment ! :)
But sophist ... I wouldn't take it as a compliment, since to me, they were people who always want to prove the others wrong, and that when they had an idea, wether it was right or wrong, they'd stick to it, and defend it to the end without never changing sides and everything ... You know. But it's a compliment too. :)
Hehe

Hehe

heh... funny that we both flipped the connotations in terms of which is more negative. O_o

well, let's see what dictionary.com says:

sophist:

"One skilled in elaborate and devious argumentation. "
"A scholar or thinker. "

Those were the definitions I was more thinking of, so that's why I didn't mention sophist being negative... but of course, there's also this side of it, yes:

"Any of a group of professional fifth-century B.C. Greek philosophers and teachers who speculated on theology, metaphysics, and the sciences, and who were later characterized by Plato as superficial manipulators of rhetoric and dialectic. "

But hey, superficial manipulator isn't the worst thing I can think of being called. #;-}>

But now let's get to the reason I believe demagogue instantly struck me as a dubious compliment:

demagogue:

"A leader who obtains power by means of impassioned appeals to the emotions and prejudices of the populace. "
"A leader of the common people in ancient times. "

that sounds like more of what you were going for... but here's what I thought of, more:

"A leader of the rabble; one who attempts to control the multitude by specious or deceitful arts; an unprincipled and factious mob orator or political leader."
"an orator who appeals to the passions and prejudices of his audience "

not as positive, eh?

Oh well. #;-}>

and you failed, ahhaha, pluss you deleted your own sig! This isn't your day, now is it? Well, I didn't even knew there was such a word. I'll try to include that somehow in my next english essay and see if my teacher understands it (she's not the brightest bulb in the box, exactly). I LOVE mocking dumb teachers. Who's got the power, now eh? muhahahha victory will be mine! I shouldn't get so carried away by my passions.. meh.
On another hand, a demagogue is obviously not a dumb person, so speaking of purely intelligent matters, it's a compliment. So is a sophist, so I guess alex was a little bit on track. Sorta.

Yeah ... I did fail for sure. About the sig thingy, the worst part is that I didn't do it on purpose, and now I don't remember what was on it, and since I knew there were rather "important and cool stuff" in it, I was like "fuck it", I'm not doing it again. So now it's just very simple. And yes it was my day ! Because yesterday, I've seen a movie ! Called :" Hitler, the rise of evil" or something like that. A very cool movie, Robert Calyle as Hitler. Loved it.
Damn that Hitler dude was weird.

hey, don't be upset. Even though you weren't quite right on the demagogue usage, you knew what sophist was all about. And you're not from a country with English as the primary language, so... going 1 for 2 sure as hell ain't bad. #;-}>

Ummm, just keep depositing. When you get to lvl 9, you'll prolly start crying, as it takes alot nowadays to get to lvl 10+ =/.
Blam/protection points: just be fair when you vote as the main purpose of NG is all about the author, NOT the b/p points.
B/p points were added so everything would get voted on, lol.
Just look up all the FAQ's, they'll help more then me.
What do you mean " i'm trying to take CARE of some bastards i know", btw ?

Heh. Sure thing, man.

Try it yourself, BTW. Just go to google.com, search for something you know will bring you a NG BBS page as a result, and then instead of clicking ON that result, click the "cached" option, and you'll see an older version of the page, most times.

Or you can try searching for the top 50 b/p list, check the "cached" version, and often it'll be a week or two old, from the last time it was cached. Crono probably wouldn't be EGSC in the cached one yet, for instance. Lots of nifty ways to get back old info from the web.... yes...

Yeah well, I might try that. But as a matter of fact, I don't know what to search for ... an NG BBS page ? Hmm ... How the fuck can I make an NG BBS page show up lol. I'll type gfoxcook. Cached option ? OK. We'll see. See, I didn't even hear nor know about that cached thingy ... I mean, how did you find out ??
And once again, thank you ! =]:)||||E

Holy crap, look what I've found ! I google searched gfoxcook. It only had two miserable pages ( :P ), then, I google searched alexsmolik. Guess what did I found ? 4 pages ? Yeah ! But that's not it ! I found something that rather made me happy man !
I clicked on something that said :" ... We also have new submissions by the following popular artists: alexsmolik, bartard,
Everblayde, Laser, MesmericFiend, Popeofdope, RetroDriftwood and TrashLock ... ".

well, if you want to make the top 50 b/p page show up, you can search for ramagi and fixit and so forth.

if you want a discussion you had about Lord of the Rings to show up, you can search for NG and alexsmolik and LOTR.

etc.

I'll type gfoxcook. Cached option ? OK. We'll see. See, I didn't even hear nor know about that cached thingy ... I mean, how did you find out ??

:::shrugs::: Been using google for years. Heck if I can remember.

yeah, from just 2 weeks ago, eh? Did you not see it that day?

anywho, I don't know what you're talking about, though. "gfoxcook" only got you 2 pages of results? I just searched for gfoxcook and got:

Searched the web for gfoxcook. Results 1 - 10 of about 328.

and it amounted to 5 pages.

also, if you change it from regular web search to google groups (i.e. usenet newsgroup search), it becomes:

Searched Groups for gfoxcook. Results 1 - 10 of about 44,300. Search took 0.36 seconds.

literally 1000s of pages of my posts to usenet and posts that mention me. #;-}>
