Mushroomtrip is a total egomaniacal bitch.

I'll agree there are quality posters in P&S, it just seems like you have to wade through a bog of empty masturbatory rhetoric to find them.

I wouldn't say posters are the problem, but rather that posts are.

Mr. Mushrooms too.
Is it just me, or does daytripper answer even the simplest question with an incomprehensible mish-mash of philosophical jargon?
Here are a few excerpts from his recent 'What is Humanism?' thread:
"The original understanding of culture was just a substantial blob of interrelated cells that you could do anything you want with. This only meant an interrelation of similar parts (like as I described humanism).
But now culture itself is "relative", completely opposite to its original substance (Think Spinoza - substance is God).
It seems to me the fall of Godliness just brought forth a more indescript form of dogma.
But it is also the non-particular recognition of human to human relations - acknowledging that the self is only self in the terms of other, the subject in terms of object; ie language, the social contract, an arbitrary token of reality. Something we have been doing long before this particular humanism.
Human rights is exactly what I am talking about, though this seems a bit dire. Its the same paradox. For 'Universal' rights, there certainly is no social contract, otherwise we would have the choice to sign on. But even if we did have a choice, this signing is no different. The nature of all signs is a game. Rather, its just a game, but you have to play by the rules. Paradoxically, the game is both serious and not serious."
What the Hell? I'm sure I could understand what he's trying to say, but is it worth the time I'd have to invest? I have nothing against the guy, but most of his posts may as well be written in Chinese for all I'm concerned.
Lakefingers usually confuses me, too.
I like Mr. Mushrooms, though. His points follow each other logically, he explains himself clearly and thoroughly, and he writes like a pro. P&S could use more mushroom-men. 
Mr. Mushrooms is a weak link. Like a picture of Brad Pit in a magazine, he looks great and easy to accept. But you realize regular reading crumples and eventually disintegrates the page and the message.

Wrong.
Terrible example, too.

I'm not going to make the obvious joke about your overuse of a magazine picture of Brad Pitt.
Oh wait. Shit.

Mr. Mushrooms has clarity because his ideas are simplistic, and poorly written. At least he has the common sense to stay out of threads created by his betters. Zannennagara, daytripper23, Arden and a host of others are far better at conveying abtruse truth, albeit not always easy to understand in their prose.

Zannennagara is the man.
As for daytripper, he uses big words, but I never do find any deep, worthwhile ideas springing from his shitbox. People who wrap their simple ideas in big words have the tendency to deceive those who don't care to pay attention to detail.
