Thread Name: BS: 'ex cathedra' - it means...........
Subject: RE: BS: 'ex cathedra' - it means...........
Well, I launched the thread mainly for fun, Crow Sister, a bit of satire and irony, that sort of thing. It was an ongoing spat between 2 other people on a thread which I was idly observing which prompted me to launch it. You know, the kind of debate that arises here where certain individuals do their utmost to bury each other under an avalanche of ever-more snide and pompous prose, utilizing devastating expressions like "ex cathedra" or "I make it a point never to fight a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent", etc....

It gets funny to watch it after awhile, so I thought I'd do a thread about it.

It is a discipline that can be honed to a fine art with enough practice, and when one attains the highest levels one becomes a Swami and receives a special sanskrit name from the Masters such as: Swami Krapilamastikrapilistikananda

It means: "bliss through character assassination"
