Hi Six, I think you meant "formally introduce myself." I'm ella, and I only play dinks ttt, but I also love meeting new people, so hi! Mad respect to you, and all stay-at-home parents, wish my dad had stuck around to do that...
I really enjoyed reading your introduction, then I got to the section of your creed. I take my own personal principles very seriously, and when others state theirs I like to discuss them, if you're interested:
When you say discrimination, do you mean prejudicial discrimination on the basis of immutable characteristics? I try not to do that, but discrimination in general is hard to avoid. As a student of philology, I tend to think of words by their components and roots. Discrimination comes form the latin discrīminātiō, meaning separation, and contrasting of opposites. I'm sure you can appreciate this tendency of mine as a lover of language yourself.
When it comes to your stance against hypocrisy, I'm afraid I don't understand. In some trivial sense I could understand disliking it. Dissembling is noisome, but on the grand stage of life principles, which flow through us and carve out our realities, I think that not tolerating hypocrisy would kill a man before the age of 28. Maybe 100, even 50 years ago a young person could live with that principle, but now we swim in a sea of information that continuously modifies us, like memetic CRISPR, so we're less ourselves, moment to moment, than ever. To me hypocrisy is just another word.
And finally time, and your abhorrence of its wasting away. I don't know what your metaphysics are, so I'm just going to assume you don't like assholes, idiots, or generally mercenary people.
You should pop in on ttt sometime, since I will never be seen on the PH server. My ban should be served to completion by tomorrow morning.
