What passages have I removed? I made positively sure to put his books together so that nothing of importance was left out. Part of deciding how to compile his books took a lot of judgment, and trust me, you and all of your cronies couldn't have done any better. As far as footnotes, my additions had nothing to do with the main concepts, which is why I couldn't get my book copyrighted. It fell under his copyright. Do you get this?

Of course, I ponied up proof in 4 minutes; it's taken you quite a bit longer even to recognize the Authentic Text and dig it out (allegedly) from under the pile of unsold copies of the Corrupted Text, or whatever.

peacegirl, I repeat my offer to sell you a copy of the Authentic Text.

I don't need your book. I have my own.

I know. You don't need the Authentic Text, because you have the Corrupted Text. I just thought you might be interested in reading the Authentic Text as written by the author and published in his lifetime. Never mind, I guess.

You mean other than all the good bits about juicy cunts?

A blind badger would have done better.

Of course, it must be harder for you to get his true message, what with not even having the authentic text and all.

So peacegirl isn't interested in learning what Lessans really meant, she just wants to push her own agenda. Poor old Pinwheel Lessans, It's a good thing he's dead and probably isn't aware of what Janis is doing to his text, though I'm sure he doesn't understand why he's spinning so fast.

[davidm]

So peacegirl still can't figure out how to manager her attachments?

It's funny, because her father, judging by his "juicy cunt" passages, apparently had no problem managing his "attachments."

[Stephen Maturin]

Speaking of which, what does the Authentic Text have to say about strap-ons?

[Vivisectus]

No Vivisectus. They have not studied the text in the way it was meant to be studied. This is not a critical evaluation; this is an effort to demolish his work in any way possible. Chuck, of all people, has not been here that long to even know what his discovery is about. He just got wind about dogs and sight, and jumped right in making fun just like his cronies.

And in your book (haha) that means anything other than uncritically accpt anything in your book.

And I have said over and over that these were observations and accurate inferences. They cannot be proven through the scientific method of starting with a hypothesis. This doesn't mean these principles can't be empirically tested and proven to be absolutely true IN TIME. All I am asking is to treat this book with respect instead of ruining it by turning it into fodder.

Accept os as true without any proof you mean? And despite

I did the best I could. I took out the explicit parts because I knew how people would react, and I was right. The small changes I made did not change the concepts at all. I mostly copied his words verbatim as I compiled his different books.

No, that's not true. I am so positive he has a discovery that it makes me seethe when I see such ignorance. I don't mind people asking questions, but they have already decided he had to be wrong. There wasn't two versions of his claim regarding the eyes, btw. When he said "it hadn't gotten here yet", he was referring to light. You all are just angry for someone to dare challenge established science, and please don't tell me that's not what it is.

That is not what the real book says.

But hey! Since you welcome questions, perhaps you can answer this: in your version of the book, proof is promised. Undeniable proof, or perhaps you used the word evidence. That the eyes work as described.

What is that proof?

[Florence Jellem]

Well, boys, is it all over with, at last? This thread, I mean. If so, that would make Flo sad.

I’ve been reading through the thread while drinking a LOT of whiskey. Land sake, five and half years of such silly nonsense! Yet all of it is somehow … compelling, the way that my home ec pupils felt compelled to watch — big-eyed with revulsion and horror — whenever I slaughtered a live guinea pig with a Ginsu knife to show them the right way to clean up blood stains.

The stuff about “compelled of his own free will,” the alleged fact that light will be at the eye instantly even though it hasn’t gotten there yet, the expressions of animal lust on the dinner table (provided no wee ones are present), the falling in love with sex organs, and — most recently — the randy and riotous elucidations of “precious, precious cunts” and “juicy cunts” that are meant to be bitten … I don’t think I’m wrong is saying that nothing like this thread has ever appeared on the Internet, or in any other venue, for that matter. May I suggest that the entire thread be published in book form? Thread participants could share the copyright and whatever royalties may accrue. I think my nephew’s online publishing venture might have some interest in such a project, as it would in publishing the authentic text of Seymour Lessans’ epic maundering under the appropriate title, “Juicy Cunt.”

If I were a younger woman, and not the withered, whiskey-sodden, sad old hag that I have become, I picture myself once again presiding over my legendary home ec seminars at Chester Alan Arthur Junior High School, with “Juicy Cunt” cracked open. I would read to my pupils from the book, especially the good bits, while covertly espying their shocked and puzzled expressions. This would be more fun than carving up the live guinea pigs. I could justify to myself reading the book to them during my home ec seminar because of the stuff about spaghetti and meatballs. I sure hope spaghetti and meatballs are part of the authentic text, and were not dished into the corrupted text by peacegirl!

[Stephen Maturin]

peacegirl -- quite the besotted old hag herself -- will return when a mental reset leaves her believing we never found out that the Corrupted Text she's pushing is not the Authentic Text that her father wrote and published during his lifetime. She also needs to let go of certain fantasies involving her and 'Trick Slattery smearing themselves with perfectly cooked spaghetti and meatballs and having a rousing session of Lessantonian Golden Age rumpy pumpy on the nearest dining room table. When all that happens, she'll be clear to return.

Besides, life just ain't worth living for ol' Janis absent squabbling with strangers on the Internet about efferent vision.

And, of course, nobody leaves without my say-so.

show spoiler

[specious_reasons]

I once wrote that I'd pay upwards of 99 cents for Lessans' book online, but I might even consider paying $2.99 or even $5 for the Original Text, just based on the "juicy cunt" excerpts.

Or, indeed, squabbling with the plain language of the Authentic Text.

I shall have the Authentic Text at hand for the return. It is my view that the Authentic Text must form the solid basis for communication. The Corrupted Text is corrupt.

[The Lone Ranger]

Yeah, I suspect she's doing one of her occasional resets. She'll be back once that's completed.

Why do you care whether I reset (as you call it) or not, considering how sure you are that Lessans was wrong. I would think you would be relieved that I'm not spreading lies. After all, according to you, all I do is lie.

[ChuckF]

Don't worry. As the steward of the Authentic Text, I will carry on.

I would like to extend an invitation to those interested in borrowing (free of charge, of course) the Authentic Text for personal study.

Thank you Chuck. I couldn't have asked for a better advertisement than if I had done it myself. 👍

Why just that page? Give me any page and I will give you the first line. Sure I could have gotten it off the internet like Chuck. You'll just have to trust me, or else order the book. I don't know of any bookstore that has an inventory of the original.

Uh, that doesn't really make sense.

[Florence Jellem]

Just our of curiosity, boys, is there any chance we might get back to discussing the urlust of Mr. Lessans, with the whole human history of fertility idols and worship embodied in his single erection? TBH, Flo finds this more interesting than juicy cunts.

I read that his wang got so spectacularly hard it became a phallic symbol. Of course, that statement appears in the Authentic Text. It does not appear in the Corrupted Text, which was the product of an acclaim-chasing, money-grubbing hack for whom "fidelity to the author's vision" is just a funny American phrase.
