Homer_Rice Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 [quote name='Pats and Sox' post='303779' date='Jul 28 2006, 09:39 PM']I have absolutely no idea what you're blabbering about, and judging by other reactions to your bizzare jihad on this thread, I'm not alone. I still don't know what I have to "fess up" to you. If you'll be clear about it, I'll be happy to answer your question. If you still think I was "sent" by someone, I wasn't. I knew of this board, I checked it out, I saw a forum and topic that interested me, and I jumped in. Or, if you want to continue the routine, that's cool too, I guess.[/quote] Really? Absolutely no idea? That's disingenuous. Perhaps you aren't thinking about it hard enough. I did not assert that you were sent by other people. Others did, but not I. I said you were a fraud who misrepresents himself. I still think that. I'm also right about it, as we'll eventually discuss. I've also said that I hope you would come forth willingly because I think you add value to this part of the board. I still hope that. Oh, btw, it's not a jihad (why I am not surprised by the choice of adjective!), it's a pursuit of truthfulness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nati Ice Posted July 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 [quote name='TheBZ' post='303948' date='Jul 29 2006, 07:11 AM']As an aside, who hands out Press Credentials? Who assigns 'Freedom of the Press'? Can you simply declare yourself a news source, and give yourself these things? I look forward to the day when a Blogger defends himself in court using some of these concepts.

That I'm not some average schmo with his own opinions like anyone else? Sorry, I don't know how to convince you otherwise. If you could be more straightforward with the fantasies you've concocted, I'd be more inclined to play along and provide you with the answers you seek.

That would be the ethical choice, if you were on the up and up. Or do you have something to hide? Something that might be embarrassing were it to become general knowledge, especially in light of the way you crashed this board with the fervor of a zealot and the delicacy of a bull in a china shop. Credibility is tied, in part, to the relation between a person's intent and their willingness to disclose material evidence which supports that intent. I say you have not done that. I further say that you possess some important information about yourself that is material to the understanding of your positions here. Some folks on the board are going to be disappointed in you if you do not fess up. They'll see it, like I do, as a form of duplicity, if you do not come forward willingly. Once again, this wouldn't matter if it were not so integral to your behavior here.

As far as I can tell, he's adequately defended what could be considered an unpopular position in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to cling to the notion that there's something shocking I'm hiding because you apparently have some need to believe it. Ces't la vie, but I've lurked here before (more since the 2006-07 schedule came out), I saw some unorthodox and (IMO) noxious opinions on an issue that is of great interest to me, and I dove in. You can keep screaming "fraud," but now I can see why you're so coy with your answers every time you're asked to explain your vapid accusations--you have an entirely unsupportable hypothesis.

That you have such a burning need to assail my sincerity is almost assuredly projection on at least some level. The genesis of this is something I have yet to figure out, but I suspect I will eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your comportment leaves a lot to be desired, given your profession and your stature.[/quote] You truly are a gem. If you ever have a direct question, please feel free to ask. If you're heading in the direction I think you are, I have never spent more than ten days in the Middle East and never been a citizen of any country other than the US. Beyond that, I'm afraid you're going to have to abandon your cryptic nonsense if you want an answer. Or you can keep belching up "Fraud!!1 Phony!!!!1" EDIT: Or are you interested that I have a background in defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
