Snap poll- which people say anticlockwise, and who says counterclockwise? I find myself in the counter camp.

I'm sure that you had an intention when you wrote that post. You wanted to win an argument on the internet.

So like authorial intention isn't like totally inscurtable or something dood?

SKILORD said:
Which is the right answer?

So it's a question of plausibility and not impossibility now? Stop making ma arguement for me :(

Who knows for sure?

Gosh, darnit. Wait, I do!

SKILORD said:
Intention is not as clear cut as you think.

Yes, it is.

And if you don't understand my joke about Christianity's relationship to the Bible then we are talking on two totally different wavelengths.

I don't see how that (whatever that is) has all that much to do with authorial intent.

Huh. I didn't even know the Brits had a different word for counterclockwise.

Edit: typo.
 
Counterclockwise is the only one I've even heard of until now.
 
Anti? What the heck.
 
Counter here, anti just makes it seem like you dislike clocks or something.
 
"against the sense of the clock hands" [im Gegenuhrzeigersinn] :p
 
I'm hoping to gather a group to start a new game of Neptune's Pride in 48 hour's time, or at 2300 EDT/2000 PDT on Friday. Meet on #nes so we can coordinate and join a free game en-masse at the same time. :)

Sorry. I am stuck in two games. In one game I am doing a Japan against the US: no more details needed there. I vowed to fight to the end. It might end by Friday (200 ships and 3 fleets v.s. 2000 ships and 82 fleets) but it might not. Diplomacy with their allies to provoak a flip for the win!

In another, I am playing a deadly quadruple crosswise negative straight curved agent by tech wh0ring with everyone and playing my fleets at various borders. I just went all in against someone who isolated himself and hoped that no one can figure my duplicityor that I can finish off his industrial center before he outproduces me.
 
@Masada:

OMG REALLY? You win, everything you believe in your heart is objective fact, now please shut up. Bovine manure gives me a headache.

The problem I think you are having with that joke, by the way, is that you thought when I said that there was a book about which people get worked up about authorial intent you thought for some reason I meant that it was a book that described a plot where people get worked up about authorial intent (which was a wierd interpretation of my 'authorial intent,' but whatever). Why do you think there are so many different Christian churches though? Each one has their own interpretation of the bible based on what they believe the authorial intent was. In fact, many people have taken the resoluteness of their belief in their interpretation of the authorial intent of the Bible so far that people have in fact died by the millions.

But, at least you can rest assured of one thing Masada, if you're in one of those churches then everything that that particular church believes in is unquestionable objective fact and if I were you I would never again worry about uncertainty or alternative models of thought structure. Narrow minded is plenty good enough if you're always right.

For the rest of the world though, models of literary interpretation that are heavy on authorial intent are not really that mainstream anymore. If you desperately need to continue this conversation please send me a PM after you've read Margins of Philosophy, the things you call authorial intent, I think Derrida just referred to that sort of stuff as self aggrandizing lies.
