A "philosopher" is a "culture thinker".  So, a "philologist" must be a "culture
logicist", right?

What exactly is the difference between "logic" and "thought".  And, then,
what's a "philologian" and how does it differ from a "philologist"?  In
"philologist", the emphasis falls on syllable two, right?

Maledicta sounds so cool, BTW!  If I had Maledicta, I could learn how to say
"bitch" in *all* languages; not just ten!

Also, if Maledicta was begun in '76, shouldn't it be nearing its 30th
anniversary?  Rey, why do you claim it's only *20*?

And, what are the six languages you speak, Rey?  English and German, obviously,
but what else?  Hebrew?  Are you Jewish?

Why do you now hate Cacademia?  How come it took you so long to realize you
were disguted by it?  I've known it sucks since like fourth grade.

Being involved in Maledicta for all these years, do you actually have use of
*all* manner of diss from *all* ethnicities and cultures?  Is this how you've
become so ghetto?  Who's your source that's keeping you up-to-date with ghetto
and Ebonic culture?  This is all so fascinating!

Rey, how did you get involved with Maledicta?  Where'd you come up with the
idea?

And I still don't get *why* Clinton belongs in jail, you think.

"Disobeying the prisoners' unwritten codes and rituals can get you killed the
first day you are in prison. It almost happened to me: because I had mumbled a
harmless comment, a 75-year-old Mafia gangster threatened to "f.ck a hole" in
my head."

What was the comment?  And, Rey, what exactly did you mail to Wisconsin judges
that was so terrible as to warrant prison time?  Was anything you did even
"illegal"?  You exposed some lawyers and judges as alcoholics and criminals who
used their power to buy their way out of prosecution?  What makes you think
Janet and Hillary couldn't just do that too?  And why choose only Wisconsin, of
all states?

More to come.

Rey, please answer me!  I know you probably don't like me, since I speak the
truth about Hughes, Franke, & Riggs, and their evils ways.  But I am still
thoroughly interested in you and Maledicta.

What do you mean by the following:

"Also, because in prison you will start out earning only 3¢ an hour, amounting
to the $5.25 minimum "maintenance pay" per month given to every prisoner,"

$5.25/30/24 = less than one cent.  Where'd you get the 3 cents an hour from?

"Don't be uppity and your cold, snotty, domineering self. "

I wonder how many AUEers have read "Pen Pal"?

"Not having a spouse or child, this tough-on-crime Thing-without-a-Thing has no
pity on the spouses and children of prisoners."

LOLOLOLOL!  "Thing-without-a-Thing"!  Classic!  Remember, Rey, studies have
concluded that men tend to grunt, whereas women giggle.  Thus, Janet Reno
gruggles.

"this horrible, heartless, affirmative-action quasi-woman as his capo di tutti
capi of the Federal Mafia."

"Capo di tutti capi"?  "Head of all heads"?  Does it also mean something sexual
Italian, or does it just mean "someone really important"?  Is it a mafia term
for the dons?

More still...

$5.25 / ($0.03/hr) = 175 hr.  As it happens, a person working 40
hours/week, not counting vacations, holidays, sick-days, or whatever, works
an average of a bit under 174 hr/month.

Where does the above "culture thinker" come from?  It is neither the
meaning of "philosopher" nor the source of the word "philosopher."
Etymologically, a philosopher is a lover of wisdom, and a philologist is a
lover of words (lover of learning or literature in an extended sense).

None of "culture," "thinker," or "logic" come into play here.

> What exactly is the difference between "logic" and "thought".

Do you really want a 10 second summary of at least 2500 years of thinking
about these things?  Much thought has nothing to do with logic and much
logic has nothing to do with thought.  Take some time and explore these
things for yourself.

"Philogian" is nothing more than a mid 19C elegant variation for the late
16C word "philogist."     There has been, however, since the 18C a
difference between "philosopher" and "philosophist," but not between
"philosopher" and "philosophe."  Buy a dictionary, OK?

>  In

Yes.  A dictionary would help you with questions like this.

Sorry: I typed too fast.  The word is "philologist," not "philogist."

You're missing a couple of "lo"s there.

*The Century Dictionary* of 1895, www.century-dictionary.com , gives two
additional synonyms for "philologist": "philologer" and "philologue." Of
"philologer," it says "formerly in more common use."

My bad.  I didn't realize "philo" was the "lover" philo.  I thought it meant
"culture".

>None of "culture," "thinker," or "logic" come into play here.

I thought "soph" means thinking, which it kinda does if it means "wisdom".
Plus, I was right about "logicist" because logic = words.

It's too annoying every time I write/read a post to have to minimize, open a
new link, look for a word, *then* forget how the word was used in the first
place, and then try to apply the meaning when I finally find the word in
context again.  But, by then, I forget the meaning, so I have to minimize, etc,
and go thru the whole process again.  Then, restore this window, re-look for
the place where I'm trying to type.  It's a HASSLE!  Plus, you peeps use
made-up words and make up your own meanings, dirrty.

AUE is NOT a chat room (even though some of the elderly posters think

No.  See dictionary and Martin's good information.

[...]

I don't count the years in which I couldn't publish a volume.

See "SYNOPSIS" on top of this page:

http://www.sonic.net/maledicta/aman.html  

> Hebrew?

No.

> Are you Jewish?

Should I be?

I began to be disgusted by it soon after I had joined that gang of
incompetents and immoral back-stabbers, in 1968.

No, but from many, some 220 (out of 5,000++).

> Is this how you've become so ghetto?

Dealing with morally corrupt Cacademia, Shysterdom, and the Gestapo-Feds
does that to people; also, being locked up with low-scum white trash and
Negroes and L.A. Crips helped a lot.

> Who's your source that's keeping you up-to-date with ghetto

My friends, contributors, authors, and groupies.

> Rey, how did you get involved with Maledicta?

Check < http://www.sonic.net/maledicta/time.html >

> And I still don't get *why* Clinton belongs in jail, you think.

Because both of them are shameless, hardened criminals who got away
thanks to protective Reno and incompetent prosecutors.

While shaving and pointing at a friendly physician (a Negro) doing some
10 years for drugs and me saying something like, "Man, look at that poor
fool locked up, just like us."

> And, Rey, what exactly did you mail to Wisconsin judges
> that was so terrible as to warrant prison time?

Check < http://www.sonic.net/maledicta/j-accuse.html >.  'Twas a
two-page pamphlet about The Legal Slimebags of Wisconsin, ridiculing and
exposing the idiotic divorce judge Becker (that fuckin' bitch is already
burning in deepest hell).

> Was anything you did even "illegal"?

Using the U.S. Mail to send postcards and pamphlets made it a Federal
Crime.  Each count:  five years in the slammer and a $250,000 fine.

> You exposed some lawyers and judges as alcoholics and criminals
> who used their power to buy their way out of prosecution?

No, that was put on my Website *after* I was released, just to annoy the
immoral black-robed motherf..kers.

> What makes you think Janet and Hillary couldn't just do that too?

They DID!  That's why Hill the Whore is now a NY Senator (elected by morons).

> And why choose only Wisconsin, of all states?

Because I lived there for 30 years, and my "victims" live there (except
for Becker, that fuckin' whore, who died last year of a stroke, the bitch).

Martin already explained it well.  You get paid for working 8 hrs, not
for the rest of the 24 hrs/day.

I also accurately described Reno as a "horrible harridan with the Hitler
haircut."  [Hey, Evan, is this creative, or what?]

Italian _capo_ = head, top, chief, boss.  "Capo di tutti capi" = boss of
all bosses, the Mafia top dog.
