[ExI] Fundamental Concept

[spike at rainier66.com]

Hi Hermes,

 

Along with our warm welcome I will offer a note so that you are not disappointed: we aren’t even going to attempt poetry on that name.  Nothing against Greek/Egyptian deities and certainly nothing against you sir, but sheesh it was already hard enough with Ivor Brians.  With your mythological handle, and these software-enabled poets, the yahoos would soon be attempting to somehow bring in wormies, germies, spermies and who the heck knows what else.  Revolting!  I don’t cotton to it, I tells ya.  Ain’t fittin.

 

Do tell us something about Hermes por favor.  We want to see you are not some clever software that one of these guys fashioned just to mess with our minds.  They do stuff like that you know.  I can’t criticize them however, because I would do stuff like that too if I knew how.

 

Tell us about Hermes please.  Welcome!

People seem to crave conflict on a fundamental level. There is an evolutionary incentive for this. Passive animals tend to be overtaken by more aggressive ones… One may as well call it a law of life.
