This frustrates me, because the basic idea behind the pomocons is much easier to say, and farmore interesting: They're people who want to believe in tradition and doctrine, and let those ideas have powerful force in their lives, even though - or especially because - they know that these beliefs are constructed and not quite true. But the traditions that they want to maintain often deny the possibility of change or revision. Pomocons are trying to square that circle, usually from a (pseudo-) Christian perspective that doesn't have enough flexibility in the directions they need.
See, wasn't that easy?
Thank you for winning.
ReplyDeleteHey, I was told _by the Pomocons themselves_ how important it is to go out there and hit someone...

More seriously, yes, I do think there's something fantastically annoying about the pomocons' collective unwillingness to use plain English to describe their philosophy, and that there's nothing wrong about calling them on it.
