It must be this shite board, reflecting through me. I ought to take the cork out by not visiting.


Yes, please do us all the favour and not visit. Or am I just looking at one side of the coin whereas you can see both sides and the edge...and the curves and contours...I bow down to your coin looking abilities.
 
Just to point out:

a) I Write, not Act.

b) The Coin thing was a Metaphor, not a Statement; and it is based on a principle of there being two sides to a story, like: Good/Bad, Yin/Yang, Mic/Mike. Like I was trying to point out.

It's called an analogy not a metaphor.

You were saying you can write 'mike' instead of mic(rophone) because Mike is short for Michael. A better (or non-faulty) analogy would be saying that you were looking at two coins instead of one and were confusing the sides ;)

Also 'yin/yang' has nothing to do with two sides of a story. There can be unlimited sides to a story but there's only 1 correct version. Yin/yang are two opposite forces, that are always there. There is nothing in 'there's 2 sides to every story' that implies that the stories are complete opposites. And there's a correlation between yin and yang while '2 sides to every story' implies that there is no correlation between the 2 stories.
And 'good/bad' is about the same. When you say 'there's 2 sides to every story' there is nothing that implies that 1 side is bad and 1 side is good.
Both bad examples.
 
Whatever ... you knew what I meant. I'm in no mood to debate. I was just trying to point out a different perspective.

2 sides to every story does not literally mean 2 sides to a story. It means that stories have more than one side, more than one perspective. It's expressed that way because it sounds better than a phrase such as "more than one story, only one correct version", you know?

K-O. Chronic is the victor.

This aint no game, Chronic ain't shit.

Anyways, my explanation used both Analogy (2 sides of a coin) and Metaphor (2 sides to a story), so... ner!
 
Actually nevermind :)

While you guys are only planet Earth I am our entire constellation. I bath in the knowledge of Earth, the heat of the sun, the cold of the moon. While the stars are only dots in the sky to you, they are my companions to me. They are my fellow students in the race that is life.
