Tal Unnamed,
More blandishments and glittering generalities. Since there are only a handful who really know me well, I find it hard to believe that your sources, regardless of their claims, are accurate in their assessment. They would not know me, other than that "Gorean Asshole". Something I find is not a bad thing to be.
I take the references of 25, now 26, books, and constantly measure what I have brought across from the pure philososphy. I am not talking those things that equate to fantasy in the books. There is, for instance, no such thing as a tarn or sleen. They are ideas, and in many ways iconic, and you can bring the ideas to Earth, and understand them, and apply the pertinent portions of them. For instance, the importance of the flora and fauna that Norman devised for the Gorean landscape is that it all has evolved into the most survivable, and it is all strong, and vicious, and does what it need to do to perpetuate itself. The sleen, the tarn, the larl, even the leech plant. They are all survivors on a natural world where nature accepts no weakness, and on Gor, mankind has been forced to live within nature, and has evolved to be a competitor within nature and the natural order, instead of usurping its place, and destroying nature in the process (a destruction both physically and metaphysically. Man on Earth, elevated by man to the status of God, feels that he does not need to be natural, that he can socialize all that away.
Understand these are not my words. They are merely paraphrasings of Norman's words. If you don't like Norman's words, see my last post.
On Gor, as in my house, slaves had "silks" for work and "silks" for play. They are still correctly termed "silks" even if they are made from the Earthly equivilent of rep cloth.
You, obviously, fail to understand that all girls, coming from Earth as they do, tend to wax Earth-girl, from time to time, and, just like in the books, when that happens, they are punished. I am constantly amazed at how close to the beam Norman got in his descriptions of Elinor Brinton's mental state, and how closely they approach the kajira of Earth.
You are standing as tall as you can, and from what I can see, you are nowhere close to touching my bar. "Big words" come with knowledge, learning, education, and other things that you might want to investigate for yourself. It speaks to the simplicity of your mind when you think that you are asking questions that can be answered in such simplistic fashions as "yes or no". Ultimately, the question is answered completely, just, maybe, not to your liking. It seems that having to think about the answer is a bit tough for you.
Be well,
