You're still misinterpreting me. I'm going to say many of the same thing repeatedly now to make sure it's clear.
In post #15 (before any of your other posts), I did clearly state "but that's hardly a reason why plugging 2C-E isn't better than insufflion or oral route
if you care about all the reasons I listed."(wanting to increase bioavailabilty, avoiding clogged noses, less burn, not wanting white crystals around your nostrils while in public or around cops showing everyone you've been snorting drugs, not needing to filter when you use pills, etc., in post #7).
So by listing those reasons beforehand and making them contingent on caring I imply specific situations where rectal use is clearly the superior route, and that's clearly part of the argument (why would I choose to IM pure 2C-E like I said I did in my very first post if it didn't believe their were conditions when other routes are perfectly reasonable?). How could the joke be the whole argument? You say I didn't, but I did make evident the specific conditions under which I was making the argument PRIOR to you're post accusing me of being "Almost as ignorant as the people who scoff at plugging as being 'gay." If you don't see that read on.
The Hebrew Hammer said:
I was just stressing the point that just because someone doesnt want to plug a substance doesnt mean they ONLY dont want to because they are a homophobic person.
Again, I also mentioned insecurity with one's body as another reason for resisting plugging
in the very same sentence in addition to homophobia, yet you ignored the fact that giving multiple reasons is a cue that one is providing examples of various possible reasons (in this case the silliest ones). You ignored the other reason and read the sentence as exclusively stating homophobia is the only reason I was arguing that anybody doesn't plug. Not to mention all the examples I gave where plugging isn't necessarily the clearly superior method by citing insufflated DMT or my IMing pure 2C-E also made the interpretation that I was saying homophobia is the only reason people don't plug insensible. Why? It's because those other reasons I gave not to plug have nothing to do with homophobia, so how can I be saying homophobia is the ONLY reason not to plug, what reason would there be to stress homophobia isn't the only reason?!
All of these things indicate early on in this thread that I was open to multiple reasons for not plugging, and taken together with all the advantages I listed for plugging, the only people I could be criticizing are the one's who refuse to try plugging at all during in the circumstances it's clearly advantageous. That my argument only applies to those who never try plugging is a condition not stated explicitly in my earlier posts, it's true, but it's one that's strongly implied if not inferred because it's the only way everything stated in those earlier posts can go together coherently. The specific situations and specific people you're telling me I'm changing my argument in these later posts to address were already implied in the earlier posts.
Here's why: I can't state other reasons not to plug and simultaneously hold homophobia is the only reason not to plug; I cannot say insecurity with one's body is a reason not to plug and mean exclusively that homophobia is the only reason not to plug -- I thought this would be visible as clear contradiction, and so any interpretation of what I was saying would certainly be guided away from concluding that I'm saying homophobia is the only reason for not plugging (as that would be an obvious contradiction). If I can't be saying homophobia is the only reason for not plugging, and I AM saying
"if you care about" the reasons I gave for plugging over other methods there's strong reason to plug, and additionally I'm saying I realize there are circumstances where those reasons to plug don't apply, then all together I must be saying it's silly to never attempt plugging under circumstance where it has so many clear advantages. It's implied that people who refuse to try plugging under specific circumstances where plugging is greatly superior to other ROAs are my targets even before I state so explicitly later (again, didn't think I'd have to spell it out). Most everything I said in my later posts can be derived from a thoughtful reading of the earlier ones. The later posts really don't change much, they just spell out what wasn't deduced in the first place.
But you're right about some of what you're saying. I was responding to three posts at the same time in my last post, starting with Raven SWE, and responded to one of yours as if it came at around the same time as SWE's. That was a mistake. I guess I could blame it on the morphine, alcohol and ketamine, but it was a mistake nevertheless, so sorry about that. I think it was partly because you made two posts in a row between two of my posts instead of editing your first, which made me think in the post between them I had made a further point, but it was in fact another poster's writing.
But again, even despite that mistake, none of the additional content written as part of that mistake was needed for you to figure out what I essentially really meant (what you say I didn't tell you is all contained in a thoughtful reading of my earlier posts, just not strung together blatantly in a single post until now). It was all essentially there by the end of post #15. Despite your insistence it was my whole argument, even a literal interpretation of the joke sentence clearly cannot be the whole argument given everything stated before it or even by simple appeal to what's stated in the entirety of the sentence itself (i.e. being uncomfortable with one's body is the other reason in the sentence itself that precludes my meaning that homophobia can be the only reason).
Sorry if I was condescending, but in addition to all this you also made an extremely off target analogy and then tried explaining the analogy with "dick burns" and some wildly ill-conceived notion of what sexual stimulatory efficiency is. I get frustrated when I put effort into posts and then repeatedly see evidence that what I'm saying is ignored or extraordinarily misinterpreted. And so this is my final attempt. I'm done with this thread
