we agree except that im unwilling
to confine everybody calling them
selves a solipsist to your concept.
and although i have traits and i have
views that correspond to these isms
i am not as exaggerated or mentally
made up upon anything associating
me as closely as you are with them
makes me appear to be--- to you!

yeah that's right, but not all
people with these traits are
solipsistic and solipsism is

solipsism to everyone, only.

i appreciated it and just let you know,
then. that should have been clear eh.
i i already told you.. and if you bother
like i haven't to trace back this thread
you might see that your comments in
it were regarding multiple posts.. and
not anything i had said... and, even if
it wasn't you know from this post you
are responding of mine that that was
my interpretation and continuing your
insisting perception that i'm resentful
about something i don't believe and i
have told you i don't believe does not
make any sense unless ur tomming.
