In fact, it's funny, because the statement, "It's not self-contradicting. It's an oxymoron," is itself an oxymoron, and so also self-contradicting. That's a classic. Did you mean it to be funny? If so, .
When I made the statement, "There are no absolutes" it was intentionally contradictory about the dialog between you and zeek. When you didn't get it and said it was self-contradictory I added the word oxymoron but I am not sure you get it yet.
