No, it wasn't supposed to bother you, but as it would seem that you have this vice for the old and ugly ad hominem, I could see how you would take what I said in such a way. Perhaps a more refined sensibility, a more lofty spirit, would clearly see that I was inviting you to participate in any relevant debate of your choosing, while, as best as I could, trying to establish some rapport with your rather lowly psychospiritual state, by conforming myself--ah, but then so little--to the aggressive tone of your posts.
You say that you "don't give a ****" about my previous post, but obviously something within my posts has stirred you off your rocker enough for you to embarrass yourself as you have done--even Zelda seems reluctant to defend you, despite the obvious respect for you that she had previously cultivated. I am not exactly overly acquainted with the "in-crowds" of the occult world--I really don't care to be--but I have made the acquaintance of Wasserman and Dr. Kaczynski; while I do not know the former very well, and could only say good things about the latter, I have yet to meet a single one of my esoteric peers that can match me either in the practical or theoretical dimensions of magic. I know, it's my inflated ego speaking: ok, but as a wide-ranging plethora of psychological functions are conceptualized by "inflated ego," many of which I would choose to nourish within myself, this supposed criticism only leaves me hungry for more detail from you--detail which you do not have the courage to provide, detail, however, if properly explicated and defended, could only be to my benefit. Haha, now you should see--alas, my faith in your abilities is justifiably minimal--where I am going with all this. Please add at least a little cognitive element to your attacks should you choose to reply; this protracted emotionalism on your part only reinforces my cynicism.
"If you, Hegias, are saying that theurgy is divine then I agree with you. But those destined to be gods must first become human; that is why Plato said that philosophy is the greatest gift ever to have come down from the Gods to humanity."
--Isidore of Gaza, recorded by Damascius the Diadochus in his Philosophical History.
