never did understand this compulsive need to blog... u want to talk, and invite others to listen too: what is this? ego? insecurity? boredom with the real world? well, look who's talking. i remain on the net for.. how many hours a day?
still, now that i have my own blog - dont know how long it will last though - i feel like writing too. this has to be a disease of some kind. the need to feel satisfied with one's own musings is a healthy disease i suppose. but i am serious about the quarrel bit. here we have finch who just chickened out. CHICKEN FINCH. hope there will be other more enthusiastic visitors. the art of decent quarrel is lost in this day of shrugging and 'oh its a free country' thing. free country my foot. but more on that later. a good quarrel is when u r not being abusive, but not backing out of anything either, and supporting urself with logic and, if possible, humour. oh, and u dont need a real topic to quarrel do u? agree to disagree and blah blah blah on anything, and see how far that goes. something like creative writing. some people talk, and u want to listen. they dont have anything particularly interesting to say, but u do listen. they talk well. add that skill to substance curved out of nothing (which is quite a feat wouldnt u say? ), and u have a nice little quarrel on hand.
i'll enlighten u further on this later.

So here is "buzz off" blogging away, faintly accusing me of backing out of an argument which is a way of masking how badly he wants the argument to continue so that he can keep blogging without having to think what to write on. I like his definition of a good quarrel, but can't agree with his notion of a good argument proceeding without a "real topic." Oh! And how he reminds you outside his blog to keep replying only because he wants to quarrel.
nothing is being masked: the whole purpose of this blog, as stated officially, is to get people to comment and quarrel.
and there is a huge difference between quarrel and argument, good or otherwise.
see, i remind u: nothing is being masked.
