See Andrew, I'm not repeating falsehoods in order to convince you, I'm simply stating facts YOU KNOW to be true. Perhaps the OPINIONS I'm referencing aren't valid, but WHAT I AM ACTUALLY SAYING is true.

Accusing EVERYONE around you of being crazy and dumb isn't going to prove your case, either.


<Yeah. Sure. You keep pretending that's correct, Salil. It was ONLY those who "insisted on derailing the tribe into personal attacks" that had a problem with your modship. Hell, pretty much everyone did. You killed the frigg'n tribe, and IN FACT, was that not IPD anyway? Didn't everyone for the most part move HERE?>

Are you daft? Seriously, are you freaking kidding me? Your memory is so screwed up its no wonder you cant keep your positions straight from post to post. First off, it was NOT IPD. It was the large POLITICS tribe. When I was the mod of that tribe I instituted clear and concise rules that I enforced regardless of the circumstances. People who skirted the rules, like yourself, didn't get banned. Membership to that tribe nearly DOUBLED when I was mod, and it was *the most* posted on tribe in all of tribe during that entire run. The personal attacks were shut down, and I pissed A LOT of people off. The goal was reached though - all points of view were protected, and if you wanted to be hostile and harass people you had to go somewhere else. And people did. As I recall at least two tribes were started with the sole intent of bitching about me, and planning harassment, like calling Seth at home, and his wife at work, threatening them, as well as stalking me by actually SHOWING UP at my bar or pestering me with PM's about how someone (Rick, remember him) was going to come to TX to beat me up.

IPD was created AFTER I turned modship back over to the original creator of the tribe.

The basic framework of rules i set up for Politics are still there - they've just been turned into a monstrosity of redundant and extraneous bs.


So you keep manufacturing memories, as you've CLEARLY demonstrated, and I'll keep proving you wrong.

<Salil, you're delusional if you think - if you INSIST - that I have a thing for you and Inna. Well, there are other possibilities, I guess - but I'd be going against the TOU if I was to list them. >

Wow. You REALLY need to learn to actually READ, and to stop inventing things. I said I THINK. I didn't say I INSIST. I SAID I THINK. Sort of like how i said I SUSPECT earlier, and you read that as 'I assert' or 'I declare as fact'? Or how you read 'Michael' but perceived 'John'?

How much of this do I have to throw at you until you stop personalizing the dissonance and resolve the actual problems? You're as bad as Carolyn sometimes.

And once again - its not just me observing this.


Here's more failure of comprehension on your part:

Me: <You on the other hand, you have exhibited a behavior that multiple people over a long period of time have all concluded seems to stem from some desire, at least, for my approval.>


You: <Yep. Keep believing that. You NEED to believe that for some reason. I wonder why?>

There is no need for me to believe what I said because I KNOW it to be true. Multiple people over a long period of time have all concluded that the behavior you have exhibited seems to stem for some desire, at least, for my approval.

Does that mean that in fact that is what it stems from? Am I declaring that indeed that we are all right? NO. I AM NOT. AND IF YOU KNEW HOW TO READ YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THIS THE FIRST TIME. But the FACT remains that my assertion is founded. Can you distinguish between what you read and what I actually said now?

<Care to let us know what this abrupt change was? No - I'm serious. What is this 'abrupt change' that we should look for? >

You seemed to stop obsessing about me, and I stopped being creeped out.

More nonsense from you:

Me: <Whats funny is you always pretend to be surprised by the suggestion - as if its the first time you're hearing any of this.>

You: <More fantasy - that I am "surprised". You just can't stop with the failures in supposition. >

I DIDN'T SAY YOU WERE SURPRISED. Jesus H Christ on a Cross, who are you, Sami? I said you PRETEND TO BE SURPRISED. And YOU DO. Anyone reading this thread can see your feigned astonishment.

<Thank goodness that you are not using your psych degree. I mean, you may actually believe that this is true. >

You clearly have NO idea what you're talking about. I most certainly am using my Psych degree, along with the others. Its sort of a perfect storm for my job. Cultural Anthropology would have been another key field, since we do *a lot* of work with the Human Terrain Teams, but alas, it doesnt really interest me.

<way way way way way down deep. So deep that I may move there at some point.>

Yes, you've substituted Faith in religion for faith in state. Good job.

<imagine what else you're wrong about... >

Its really too bad that you don't analyze yourself through the same standard. You're wrong about the facts so often, and so regularly, yet you just breeze by it and don't let your paradigm alter one little bit. As far as Bush being a nice guy, I never said that. Other highly qualified people have said it, like Obama. There is NO DOUBT that humanitarian concerns influenced Bush's decision to go to war. Ignoring this is a canard that only the radical Left engages in. Every serious critique of the GWOT recognizes this - from Larry Diamond to Ralph Peters.


<You wish. >

Uh, no, see, I don't. But that you want me to wish it, is bizarre.

<I don't read your posts, Salil.>

Yes, clearly you don't actually comprehend what I write - but saying you dont read them? Seriously? LAUGHABLE. NO ONE HERE - NO ONE, I don't even think SAMI, who hates my guts, would agree that you don't read my posts. You're a riot, a straight up mess. Awesome.

<I've not looked through yours, Salil.>

Why do you keep bringing this up? My profile is locked down so only friends can see it. I find it strikingly bizarre that you would not look at my profile but go so far as to track me down on friendster. Once again, I think you're lying.

<AND!!! Were you not the one that was suggesting that I was lying about it!?

Oh, right. You did. And you were wrong. Not surprising. I wonder how often you're wrong when you 'feel' that you're right? Hmm... >

Uh, YOU WERE LYING ABOUT IT. Seriously, how do you live with yourself? I said I thought you were lying about JOHN DOING IT - I NEVER said that I suspected the comment never existed. You just make shit up. And I PROVE IT ALL THE TIME.

How can you POSSIBLY pretend otherwise?

<For you - that's clever. >

No, its pretty run of the mill actually. I'm far more cutting face to face.

What purpose is that, Canela? To embarrass yourself and have everyone gang up on you telling you how ridiculous you are?


awesome.

Oh it matters because no one will take you seriously after being such a troll

Attacking Salil personally really isn't helping your credibility one bit

It doesnt surprise me one iota though. This woman, who has never met me, has only barely interacted with me at all, has no problem wishing that I get shot and killed, ostensibly while doing my job, not an entirely impossible scenario.

How can any decent human being sleep soundly at night while harboring such ugly emotions and thoughts? Clearly she should be banned from this tribe, if not tribe.net altogether. Unfortunately, Carolyn won't do a damned thing about it.

In the end you only have to face yourself in the mirror every morning. I hope you can do that, and not retch.

<wow, that's a seriously fucked up comment.>

Fucking whiner haters. You guys can heap derision on people all damn day, but you have a line, 'eh? Well, tough shit. Everyone's got a line, and as long as you refuse to have a civil discourse, you engender this kind of language. You made your bed... Salil's the biggest fucking whiner and braggart here, some of those same people that are defending him have in the past talked shit about him - not saying similar fucked up things (I obviously agree that it's fucked up), but you have a tendency to gang up, and that will be a causality factor to what people say. Salil is a jerk, he's the biggest jerk here, and he asks for it - he pushes people's buttons, he takes his invective to a line that just just short of what is innapropriate (calling someone's mouth a 'cockholster' or whatever), and then whines when someone says something mean to him. Well, whine away, whiner. There are not that many people in this world that I would wish harm to befall them, and Salil's not one of them - but I don't want to hear you or him whining because someone said something fucked up when YOU DIDN'T SAY SHIT about Dimwit's fucked up shit, which went on for far longer, and was far worse.

Whiners, either stick up for everyone or no one.

<This is what we call projection. Didn't you say you have a degree in psychology? Well, I highly doubt it. In fact, I doubt everything you say.>

Of course you doubt it. If you believed him, then you'd have to question his experience and education. It's soooooooooooo much easier to just want to believe what you want to believe...

Which is what you do, obviously.

Y'r a weird, sad dude. I wonder what caused you to become like this?

Dimi, you're living in a fantasy world. Not only are you apparently spending far too much time trying to figure out who I am, and obviously failing, but you're just making things up to fill in the gaps.

I get regular psych screenings FOR MY JOB. You've never had one, but that certainly doesnt mean you dont need one.

There is no doubt you were making a homosexual dominance derogation. None. Your continued insistence to the contrary exposes your lack of integrity and your propensity for lying.

You can pretend that I'm on medication, or that I have a therapist, or that I don't have more than twice the number of degrees than you do, but all you're doing is living in a delusional fantasy world. End of story.

<You though appear unable to post a reply without questioning others motives, personalities and making ridiculous accusations.>

I'd ask you to reflect upon the irony of that statement, but that'd be me asking another impossible question of you that you're unable to answer.
