I've only read about 10 pages of this tome over time. My interest in HDD is quite minimal, but I am curious about the social dynamics in play here. Trying to see it and similar threads from a cyber-cultural anthro perspective. Toward this end, it would be greatly appreciated if some of the
regulars could make some response to my questions below.
1. What percentage of the posts here (roughly) were made by Dutch?
2. If you totally disagree with the OP and think the way Dutch defends it is based solely on fallacies such as circular argumentation/begging the question etc., what keeps you coming back for more?
3. Looking back on your participation in this discussion, do you feel it was time well spent or not? Reasons for either choice would be quite helpful.
My apologies to any who consider the above questions a derail. From what I've read, IMHO most of this debate comes down to a kind of semantical glasperlenspiel anyway, so I'm hoping this attempt to grok what motivates the participants won't be considered too disruptive. Thanks for any help you can render.
