Errorgant - adjective - describes someone who is completely wrong, but also totally certain about it.

There was a particular poetry to how Seabreeze.com.au operated back in the day - where fresh-faced users, armed with nothing but errorgance, would confidently lecture the 87.2% of veteran members who actually knew what they were talking about. The platform's nuanced ecosystem somehow nurtured this perfect storm of enthusiasm over experience, certainty over correctness.

So with a join date of 2020 do you count yourself among the former or the latter? When exactly was "the day" this was back in?

I was thinking of Peacenlove. So back in the day was about 6 months ago. Before regime change

Here is massive online regime change....

Seemingly in Germany you are not allowed to insult Politicians.

Im gonna hazard a guess, at least 10 user names ago

I'd venture that you don't need a peer reviewed archaeology study or to be an expert in DNA sequencing to trace myscreenname's Seabreeze.com.au username history.

Wowser Pcd.

That is nearly as bad as when you can't insult a fellow Seabreezer without having them demand the mods censor the culprit. And none of us think that insults are a justifable reason for demanding censorship of somebody else do we ?

I mean that would be like, say...... repeatedly being called an idiot and then reporting this and demanding the person be sanctioned, censored and banned from the forum.

Who would do such a thing, hey ?

Hmm, would that make Word of the Day; Fragile hypocrisy or Glass-house morality?

Words are interesting. Especially now that there are advanced text mining techniques, including Latent Dirichlet Allocation for topic modeling and time-dependent linear models for dynamic theme evaluation, that can give previously unheard of insights. For example...

www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/social-dilemmas/202106/the-language-conspiracy-theorists

"We used a psychological tool known as the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) dictionary. This dictionary was created by psychologist James Pannebaker who famously said "The words we use in daily life reflect who we are and the social relationships we are in." The dictionary associates words with particular psychological language themes. For example, a category called "cognitive processes" has subcategories that include "certainty" and associated words would include things like "truth." Similarly, the category "negative emotion" has subcategories called "anger" with associated words like "hate." Emotions such as "anxiety" would be associated with words like "nervous" and "afraid." The dictionary also clocks words that are about groups, for example, "we" and "us" versus "they" and "them." We used these categories to see if there are consistent patterns."

I didn't read the article but I've participated in both insulting politicians and in hate speech towards them. From experience I can assure you that they are different phenomenon and garner vastly different consequences. The world doesn't need hate speech.

Indeed not. The tracking tools I have as a moderator are more than enough, in case I couldn't work it out for myself in the first place .

The difference is of course Germany are doing criminal investigations for online insults.

I was not asking the person to be put in jail.

The person you mention short of a few very short suspensions is still allowed to post, many others who rarely or ever used insults i see are still suspended.

Wowser remery. That's some confession.

So tell us - which politician did you insult and which one did you direct hate speech towards ?

I am gonna guess :
insult : Bob 'mad-hatter' Katter
hate speech :Mark LathamClivePaulineTony AbbottGeorge ChristensenRichard D Natale

^I was agreeing with the, "The world doesn't need hate speech." part.

Well maybe it's safer to use the quote button, to avoid confusion?

Today is 'Nothing To Fear' Day.

On this day in 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself."



Co-incidentally it is also the feast day of St. Augustine of Canterbury

St. Augustine of Canterbury, also known as the "Apostle of the English," was the first Archbishop of Canterbury. Pope Gregory the Great asked Augustine to lead a mission to evangelize the Anglo-Saxons in England. Augustine's mission was very successful, converting King AEthelbert of Kent during Christmas Mass in 597.

Actually Roosevelt said nothing to fear thing in a speech in 1933 in reference to the Great Depression - nothing to do with pearl Harbour 41

In May 1945 Roosevelt said, " Do not believe everything you read on the internet".

I believe everything I read on the internet. I am also living proof that you can live on pizza and beer, having done so for over one month in 1992 (February - April).

I'm fine, no health issues and of a sound body and mind.
