Those you call "pedos" are too stupid to find anything that isn't
attached to them, and they even have trouble with that.
That was his real answer that you didn't get. He was too polite about
it. I'm not! :-)

Y Not isn't yet available, so I'll answer this one.
"Grok" was coined by Robert A Heinlein, and used in his Science Fiction
book "Stranger in a Strange Land". Smith was a man who had been
marooned on mars as a baby, and had been raised by super intelligent
Martians. When he was brought back to Earth as an adult, he had to
learn how to be human. "Grok" was a Martian word for "deep
understanding".
Smith learned a lot (he was genius level), but couldn't really
understand humanity, and couldn't laugh. Until he saw some monkeys in a
cage in a zoo. A monkey was acting up with a bigger monkey, who, when
he decided he had enough, gave the smaller monkey a pounding.
Whereupon, that monkey then ran over to an even smaller monkey, and
gave *him* a sound drubbing. Smith started laughing, and almost
couldn't stop. He explained to his "nurse" companion that he finally
understood humans, and he was laughing, and what all laughter was
about, because it hurts too much not to.
Y Not evidently thought that because you used the word, that you would
know about it's origin. He's forever overestimating the intelligence of
his communicants. He was trying to make some psychological point with
you. He can't help doing that. He's a shrink. :-)
I don't know if Y Not can continue with his conversations with you and
Mr. Leyland. I know he'd like to, and so would some other readers of
his posts. BUT, all this flooding may make that too difficult for him
to get back to this. Posting this flood is a childish waste of time. It
isn't going to solve anything. Sooner or later, things will quiet down,
and things will be as they usually are. All that's going on now, is
just a waste of time and energy. I should know, I was one of you. I did
the same Trolling you are doing to these "pedos". But I began to see
that things aren't as clear cut as I had thought they were. I learned
more about these people, and saw that, apart for their peculiar
sexuality, they weren't any better or worse than any other people. By
that, I mean rotten to the core. So I have a bad view of humanity. So
sue me. Go ahead, I'm a lawyer! I stopped the hobby of being a specific
anti-pedo Troll, and just became an anti-stupidity Troll to them. The
BLs still aren't exactly in love with me. I let them think I'm dumber
than I am, so I can occasionally puncture their egos with some smart
thing they weren't expecting. I dog Y Not, and run some interference
for him, because he's the most intelligent poster I've ever
encountered, who also loves to show the BLs how stupid and egotistical
they are. It's "work" to him, but fun for me. Fun is good, right? :-)
