SWIM and this place
- Thread starter thedudenj
- Start date
When I want to talk about myself I use the correct pronouns such as I, me, my etc.
But it is the case that I am pretty talkative and sociable, so I tend to meet plenty of people at random places. So when I write about their opinions and/or actions I should be saying "that girl I met in the pub", or "that guy who was talking to me while waiting for the bus", or "the barman in this pub" etcetera.
However, I am a really lazy typist. I therefore resort to the use of "SWIM" to refer to all those people. In addition, I have accummulated so much knowledge from talking to different folk around, so now I am mixed up, it is not always easy to remember who told what, right? It is therefore fair to use the word SWIM to refer to all those people collectively. SWIM is Someone Who Isn't Me, and this is true. It is all the people I happened to have a talk with. My neighbour, the ticket inspector, the policewoman, my colleagues etc.
In this respect, I find nothing wrong about using the word "SWIM". It is only fair. Why would I claim an opinion and/or a deed to be mine whereas it is not? It is SWIM's.
Simple as that!

--who.??..ME??--
Or maybe people don't want to incriminate themselves by saying "I" extracted illegal drugs and broke the law...
Thats a common misconception and I hear it from noobs all the time, unfortunatly.

I couldn't personally gaf. I understand the many reasons for which one may choose to use SWIM, but I don't view beings under any different light should they choose to use SWIM, me, foaf, or anything else for that matter. I say toe-may-toe, you say toe-mah-toe. I do my thing, y'all do yours.
Whatever reason I, she, he, you, or him may have, I choose not to be concerned with the matter of incriminating myself of doing anything "illegal", or of performing "illegal" extractions of any sort, simply because I understand how extremely difficult it would be to prove whether or not it was "I", so to speak, that even typed this post. Additionally, I feel that the posts made by SWI "I" may or may not even incriminate things which may be considered as being on a level worthy of something-that-isn't-called an "investigation". Perhaps I've simply taken more of a keen interest in understanding native legislations than others. . .or perhaps I'm just not the typical "paranoid"-type of person (note: never confuse "careful" with "paranoid"; there exists an enormous difference between the two).
