Massive swaths of the Authentic Text are just flat-out gone. Other portion have been hacked to bits and reassembled into nonsense babble. We've also seen gargantuan chunks of added content, content revealing a lack of even the most elementary understand of what Lessans was saying.

I realize that lying is your path of greater satisfaction, and thus I do not blame you for being a liar. However, you shouldn't delude yourself into believing that you're a successful liar. To the contrary, you are quite bad at it.

That's true. People also give away knowledge all the time. You know, people like ChuckF.

Nor will $0.00, which is what Chuck charges for sharing the Authentic Text.

If you someday find the moral courage to surrender your blameful ways, we'll be here for you, peacegirl.

And for a not-so-nominal price as well, apparently. Like $41.00 a pop.

peacegirl, while it is a hurt to the Authentic Text for you to dismiss the Authentic Text as a big joke, we cannot blame you for it, because we allow for the source. It is no wonder that you cannot even explain the Boohog Corollary! You have no idea what this discovery is about!

Peacegirl, your father clearly states in the Authentic Text: “I am the Messiah.” If he had been mistaken on this point, he would have said so; since he didn’t say he was mistaken, he was right: he was the Messiah.

Peacegirl, why do you hate and fear the Messiah? It is so sad when a daughter hates and resents her own father, to the point where she vindictively mutilates a gem-like text he left to posterity just because she is afraid of having her world view overturned.

Peacegirl, can you explain in your own words the Boohog Corollary? You can’t, can you? If not, there is no way to move forward.

It looks like we're back to Square One.

David, you want to believe that he actually thought he was the Messiah, so you can laugh heartily and throw out his work. This will relieve your angst regarding his claim about the eyes. You know that's what this is about.

It is true that many men before me, including socialists,
communists, even capitalists also thought they had discovered the
cause of, and solution to, the various problems of human relation, and
their enthusiasm was no doubt just as positive and sincere as my own.
However, there is this difference between us. I have absolute proof
that cannot be denied by any reader; they did not. Mine can be
adequately communicated; theirs was never disentangled from the
illusion of reality borne out of abstract thought and imagination.
Mine is purely scientific; theirs an expression of dogmatic belief.

In view of the serious nature of this discovery, the effects of which will
beneficently ramify into every conceivable direction causing religious
minds to consider this the return of the expected Messiah, and since
it also contravenes a belief held true by nearly all of mankind, I am
once again asking the indulgence of every reader to please refrain from
jumping to any premature conclusions, to put aside if only for the
time being the unverified knowledge gathered from books and teachers
and heed only the truth reflected in my words. “But what is truth?”
you might ask. “Let us say it is that which cannot be denied by anyone
anywhere.”

“But,” you might reply, “that’s just common sense;
everyone knows that.” Well it is just this common sense; that sense
common to us all that I am making the very foundation of this book.
It is for this reason that what I write will be understood not only by
those who can read the English language, but by the entire literate
world. There will be no sleight of hand revelation as is dreamed up in
philosophical circles by epistemologists; only a clear undeniable
explanation about facts of man’s nature never before understood.

Of course not. You need to get ready for wor ... oh wait, n/m.

And if you find the moral courage to stop doing that, peacegirl, we'll be here for you.

You, as the fake steward, should know what the discovery is. You don't have a clue. You don't even understand the corollary because you don't understand why man's will is not free. You don't understand the two-sided equation, and you don't understand how the knowledge is extended into every area of human relation. You laugh because you're ignorant as hell.

I have not done that. If you compared what he wrote with what I wrote, you would see most of the writing are in his own words. I changed the word molecule to photon. So what. My father would have welcomed the changes as these little flubs would have detracted from the important concepts being presented, which is exactly what has happened. People have taken these little flubs and run with them to purposely cast a dark cloud over the whole book. I also added some examples in the extension to clarify certain concepts. Some of the changes I made are strictly grammatical. Big fu*#*$( deal!

For optimal results, there should be some way to extract the raw text from all the posts of a certain user.

[ChuckF]

I was thinking if there was a way to download the whole thread (there used to be an extension or something to do this), show only a certain use's posts, and then delete any text between brackets...

You know, I can't even count the number of times in this very thread that people asked peacegirl to describe Lessans' discovery in her own words. Never once did she even try. All we ever got was intentionally evasive obfuscatory nonsense about how a summary could never do the discovery justice, followed by reams upon reams of copypastaed gibberish from the fraudulent Corrupted Text.

Thanks to you, we now have the Authentic Text. And thanks to the Authentic Text we know that peacegirl wasn't just being a contrarian dickhead in repeatedly refusing to describe Lessans' discovery in her own words. The simple truth of the matter is that peacegirl hasn't the first clue what this discovery is about.

So then, today is not the day you'll find that moral courage. Don't worry, though. We'll be here when you do. It's only a matter of timing, which is in God's hands.

I know what this discovery is about. You believe it couldn't work because you never understood what he meant when he said this principle works before a first blow is struck, not after.

You aren't exactly off to a good start. You're already doing what you claimed you wouldn't do.

I just found the button again. Holy shit that file is huge. 75 MB and that's just the text. I guess a parser shouldn't be too complicated.
