    S.A.M:
    So you mean to tell me that you didn't form 'friendships' with the most influential individuals, and gain entrance to their little cliques, by kissing ass? If you managed to achieve this by not kissing ass, despite being a rather recent poster on sciforums, you must be pretty charismatic. But given the way I've seen you behave, I'm going to accept the former explaination of kissing ass.

    Which one... James R or spurious? Or Bells?

    Funny. For months, you never commented once on what Bells and James R referred to as 'spuriousmonkey's trolling'. It's only recently that you started to get shitty at him.

    Is that an admission that cliques do exist?

    I don't sow conflict, although I do enjoy pointing out the bullshit of others! It's fun to watch you squirm, S.A.M.

    Why not look beyond the words to the sentiment? Bells is trying to say something, but are you listening?

    Funnily enough, I actually expected you would feel amusement at the thought of someone hacking my kids to pieces. Whatever rocks your boat primate. I never expected your pity or understanding because it is fairly obvious to those who knew you way back when and know you and see you now, that you are simply incapable of it.

    Shall I go back and delete every single post where I did defend you and stick up for you, only to cop a crap load of abuse from those who were baying for your blood, just so you can convince yourself and others of that?

    I was responding to the off topic comment you made. You remember? Where you virtually blamed us for using racism as a moderating tool to ban indiscriminately. I admit this thread has now drifted off topic.

    That's the thing monkey. I don't need to make you say anything. You do it quite well all on your very own. As to getting the others to ban you? What? Do you think we're having a little pow wow and this is all some contrived plan to get you? Don't be so paranoid. I don't need to get anyone to ban you monkey. If I had wanted to ban you, I'd have done so already. I don't expect nor do I want anyone to ban you over this. After all, what is a discussion between ***** if one gets kicked from it.

    And you have proven you simply cannot be trusted.

    Oh, you don't know the half of it mountain.

    Meh.. now I am going to bed..

    This is hardly on topic. Are you trying to get me banned by forcing me to make off topic remarks?

    Hence I will refrain from commenting on these topics in this thread.

    And I would appreciate it if moderators would stop luring 'problem-posters' off on tangents so that colleagues have ample opportunity to exert their dubious ambitions. Especially since the moderators who lure people on a tangent offer no protection from the the negative influences of their peers.

    Same for Bells.

    You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

    I'm a very good boy, S.A.M. You see, I understand the concept of 'loyalty'.

    If you had been a loyal friend to spurious, you would have denounced James R's unfair targeting of spurious, and told him to stick his moderator position up his ass.

    If you had been a loyal friend to James R and the rest of the mod squad, you would have condemned spurious's 'trolling', told him to stick his mod position up his ass, and upheld your moderator duties when spurious' buddies came to cause trouble.

    But you did neither. You didn't pick a side. You stayed strangely silent on the issue, while exploiting both sides. I saw no attempt at mediation. For all your criticism of the West, you sure are fantastic at behaving like a stereotypical Western diplomat.

    I see that you've been working on Bells, using the good ole 'victim complex' routine. No doubt the combined criticism by spurious and myself will bring Bells a runnin', with accusations of 'lynching'.

    Forget it Sam. I give up.



    And to the other moderators and admin out there, please do not ban him over this. I am the one who led him to this little bit of honesty.

    That's it for me now in regards to this cause. He's not worth my effort anymore.

    Curious aren't we? If I have anything to say to my friends, I tell them.

    You don't count.

    Scenario.

    A man likes to have a game of chess, so he starts playing with a few friends
    in a pub on a Saturday afternoon. After a while there are nine or ten people and
    an impromptu "chess club" forms.
    In time, there are such a large group of people that it is difficult for him to
    plan all the games, and he decides to have a chess club committee.

    All they have to do is to set up a league, and generally
    make life more comfortable for the players, but is this all they do?
    No. Committees are never content with this.

    Fairly soon there are notices all over the walls of the room they play in.
    Rules about size of chess sets, acceptable timing clocks, entrance requirements,
    ,rules of conduct and dress etc etc.

    Some of the older members are a bit peeved about this,
    but the committe says the rules are for the good of all
    and while they would be sad to see them leave
    if they don't like it there are other chess clubs around.


    Remind you of anywhere?

    I see you've been to other science forums. Dare to compare the tolerance for racists?

    I'm not sure if that was an answer to my post,
    but unlike you I did not abstain on this vote.
    If they are racists, we don't want them.

    CHUCK THEM OUT!

    Ah but he has a vested interest. And besides he can be excessively pragmatic when necessary.

    And as a man who knows that the superficial can be easily manipulated to conceal the essence, he has no equal.

    Yes horribly familiar that 'skill'.

    The post where I actually stated my opinion on this was deleted so I will re-iterate. Racism should not be tolerated but talking about it should.

    What a load of crap.

    You need to study what happened from 1933 to 1945 in Germany. Clearly, you have no idea.

    1. I have not "targeted" spuriousmonkey.
    2. I have never treated spuriousmonkey unfairly. Get some perspective.
