Don't get snarky. The reason people are getting a bit fed up is that you're raising ideas that are either flatly contradicted by the books, or, at best, not at all supported by them and therefore wildly speculative.

Hunchback Jack wrote:When people reply to your posts saying that, your tendency has been to change what you're saying in a way that makes it more difficult to understand what your point is, or to maintain that the way you see things must be true anyway. We want to discuss Dune here, but most people lose patience when the discussion goes nowhere fast, or goes round in circles.

Scuse me i'm here for my appointment...

A reception desk in a sort of office building.....

Receptionist: Yes, sir?
Man: I'd like to have an argument please.

Receptionist: Certainly, sir. Have you been here before...?
Man: No, this is my first time.

Receptionist: I see. Do you want to have the full argument, or were you thinking of taking a course?
Man Well, what would be the cost?
Receptionist: Yes, it's one pound for a five-minute argument, but only eight pounds for a course of ten.
Man: Well, I think it's probably best if I start with the one and see how it goes from there. OK?

Receptionist : Fine. I'll see who's free at the moment ... Mr. Du-Bakey's free, but he's a little bit conciliatory ... yes, try Mr. Barnard - Room 12.
Man: Thank you.


The man walks down a corridor. He opens door 12. There is a man at a desk.

Mr Barnard (shouting): What do you want?
Man: Well I was told outside ...
Mr Barnard: Don't give me that you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings!
Man : What!
Mr Barnard: Shut your festering gob you tit! Your type makes me puke! You vacuous toffee-nosed malodorous pervert!
Man: Look! I came here for an argument.
Mr Barnard (calmly): Oh! I'm sorry, this is abuse.
Man : Oh I see, that explains it.
Mr Barnard: No, you want room 12A next door.
Man: I see - sorry. (exits)

Mr Barnard Not at all. (as he goes) Stupid git.

Outside 12A. The man knocks on the door.

Mr Vibrating (from within): Come in.
The man enters the room. Mr Vibrating is sitting at a desk.
Man : Is this the right room for an argument?
Mr Vibrating: I've told you once.
Man: No you haven't.
Mr Vibrating : Yes I have.
Man : When?
Mr Vibrating: Just now!
Man : No you didn't.
Mr Vibrating : Yes I did!
Man : Didn't.
Mr Vibrating : Did.
Man: Didn't.
Mr Vibrating : I'm telling you I did!
Man : You did not!
Mr Vibrating : I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?
Man: Oh ... Just a five-minute one.
Mr Vibrating : Fine (makes a note of it; the man sits down) Thank you. Anyway, I did.
Man: You most certainly did not.
Mr Vibrating : Now, let's get one thing quite clear. I most definitely told you!
Man: You did not.
Mr Vibrating : Yes I did.
Man: Didn't.
Mr Vibrating : Yes I did.
Man : Didn't.
Mr Vibrating : Yes I did!!
Man : Look, this isn't an argument.
Mr Vibrating : Yes it is.
Man : No it isn't, it's just contradiction.
Mr Vibrating : No it isn't.
Man : Yes it is.
Mr Vibrating : It is not.
Man : It is. You just contradicted me.
Mr Vibrating : No I didn't.
Man : Ooh, you did!
Mr Vibrating : No, no, no, no, no.
Man : You did, just then.
Mr Vibrating : No, nonsense!
Man : Oh, look this is futile.
Mr Vibrating ; No it isn't.
Man ; I came here for a good argument.
Mr Vibrating ; No you didn't, you came here for an argument.
Man : Well, an argument's not the same as contradiction.
Mr Vibrating : It can be.
Man : No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements to establish a definite proposition.
Mr Vibrating : No it isn't.
Man : Yes it is. It isn't just contradiction.
Mr Vibrating : Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
Man :But it isn't just saying 'No it isn't'.
Mr Vibrating: Yes it is.
Man : No it isn't, Argument is an intellectual process ... contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.
Mr Vibrating: No it isn't.
Man : Yes it is.
Mr Vibrating : Not at all.
Man: Now look!
Mr Vibrating : (pressing the bell on his desk) That's it. Good morning.
Man : But I was just getting interested.
Mr Vibrating : Sorry the five minutes is up.
Man : That was never five minutes just now!
Mr Vibrating : I'm afraid it was.
Man : No it wasn't.
Mr Vibrating : I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to argue any more.
Man : What!?
Mr Vibrating : If you want me to go on arguing you'll have to pay for another five minutes.
Man : But that was never five minutes just now ... oh Come on! (Vibrating looks round as though man was not there) This is ridiculous.
Mr Vibrating : I'm very sorry, but I told you I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid.
Man : Oh. all right. (pays) There you are.
Mr Vibrating : Thank you.
Man : Well?.
Mr Vibrating: Well what?
Man: That was never five minutes just now.
Mr Vibrating : I told you I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid!
Man : I've just paid.
Mr Vibrating: No you didn't.
Man : I did! I did! I did!
Mr Vibrating : No you didn't.
Man : Look I don't want to argue about that.
Mr Vibrating : Well I'm very sorry but you didn't pay.
Man : Aha! Well if I didn't pay, why are you arguing ... got you!
Mr Vibrating : No you haven't.
Man : Yes I have ... if you're arguing I must have paid.
Mr Vibrating : Not necessarily. I could be arguing in my spare time.
Man : I've had enough of this.
Mr Vibrating : No you haven't.
Man : Oh shut up! (he leaves and sees a door marked complaints; he goes in) I want to complain.

if that doesn't makes half as much sense as it twice deserves wrote:If you don't know -- and i don't mean accept the possibility, i mean take the sheer obviousness of the thing as almost exaggerated -- if you don't know that Frank Herbert was a preacher, that his novels are but thin excuses for his lecturing about whatever topic he deemed important, well if you don't know that even SandChigger seems intelligent close to you.
