True, I can't definitively know that, but what can be known is that if you or anyone keeps 'feeding' him with attention, either positive or negative, it only prolongs his stay. No attention=rapid disappearance. Why Ramayana feels the need to dog the dude is anyone's guess.
Stones are meant to crack skulls, but my humor, Tomas, is not such a stone.
The only annoying thing about you, Alex, is when you post URLs without any heads-ups of what is in store...lotsa times I may have a granddaughter or grandson in my study and I had clicked on a link and some nude of Sarkozy's wife appeared...I'm no prude by any stretch, but the child's parent doesn't need to know that grandpa is surfing the net looking at porn.
That kind of shit had reared its head here before, but was in the way of kiddie porn. Some posters-trolls links with no warning.
I've no problem with nudity but I've learned that what you type (without proper warning) isn't always what will show up.
I like mikiel, as I liked Victor. They showed up cussing and swearing but employed too much foul language that eroded a level or two what points they were making.
I've been subscribed here (genius) a bit over three years now, and been reading since about 2002 at their other sites, servers.
I'm a bit in mikiel's boat, not internet savvy on how it works, the internet that is. Different strokes for different folks.
Because I'm not too far from there, took a road trip to Eugene, Oregon, some time back. What he says about the 80-acre spread is true...Had to see what was happening as he was under attack from most every side (including Carl, Dan, Ramayana, you, and a bit from David, prince, Shah). He is a psychotherapist, a mason, a former hippie, a biker, AND a pretty big dude who'd kick your ass if he still thought that way or messed with his "family circle".
I've a great interest in the Great Pyramid and its assorted philosophical import.
I employ my version of "mock" (thanks, Shah) to draw out the truly enlightened to glean what I need to dispel my own egoisms etc. I type so slow, by that time, my head has already gone on to something else.
Do my darndest to be an upright subscriber, and contributor.
From my perspective, one has gotta earn his keep to stay in the good graces of the 3 Amigos. There's a few "trustees" here: Dave Hodges, Elizabeth, Carl, Diebert, Victor(huh?) ... who are well-on-their-way of that "narrow" path to enlightenment.
I've been-there, done-that on the wide road.
Dan stated he doesn't care for my posting format, otherwise I'm in his good graces...are you?
David hasn't gotten on my case...how about you?
All in all, I like mikiel.
If I'm ever in one of Eugene's finer nightclubs and he's there and a fight (whatever) breaks out. I'll make certain to stay in his corner of the establishment and enjoy the rest of the pitcher of Budweiser beer, sipping ever-so non-chalantly. Heck, may ever buy the bar a round, whatevers' left of it.
PS - the site is under attack from a flurry of trolls
PPS - pardon the poor grammar skills (comma placements etc)
PPPS - Edited for spelling miscues and the further eviction of a few of the has-been trustees.
