AND MY AXE

There's no sermon, no choir, no heavenly spire. You're trying to engage a passive audience with derision, poorly explained language games, and ego. Yes we can look up phonemes if we don't know what they are. But if someone asks about it you should probably explain it to them in clearer ways instead of making them feel bad for being here. Sure some people are misguided: But I feel like your approach is only going to reinforce a kind of e-stinct to rally against you. If I were you I’d be more concerned with the portion of the audience that isn’t aware of what you’re talking about and start them out on good, solid footing.

Feeling the irresistible urge to call someone names? Make mean-spirited jokes at another poster’s expense? Knock yourself out. But take your name off first. Name-calling under this guise only disrupts what you’re trying to talk about and discredits you. Unless you can come up with some truly scathing critique of your detractors (plays on their names isn't cutting it) it's going to work better if you either ignore them or try to prove your worth to them.

I think you're on the right track in several ways. First, if there were a board on 4chan that was interested in the intelligentsia and improving their comprehension of language and philosophy: It would be /lit/. So you’re posting in the right board. I also think you’re speaking from a background and reference. You’ve dropped enough books to show precedent in your thought. I’m also under the impression that you’re a student right now.
