serious sites and carry on from there. You in the meantime will remain here still telling anyone who will listen that Rat Skep left you when in actual fact you left her
by being unfaithful which is why she will never have you back. I think she should have you back because you are so lovesick without her but unfortunately that is not
a decision I can make for you. If I could I would and contrary to what you say you would run back into her open arms without a seconds thought as you still love her
And probably always will too if truth be told though learning to let go would be the lesser of two evils in my humble opinion. But its your choice to make not mine

It's funny how it's turned around on you now, after your unsuccessful attempt to claim that I talk about ratskep all the time. The irony of it all is that pretty much every second or third post of yours that I've read in the last couple of years has mentioned Cito or Hack. You absolutely worship them! And the fact that you actually think Cito has anything intelligent to contribute to philosophical and scientific discussion pretty much nails that (my) assessment.

It's funny how cocksure you are of your pronouncements, despite knowing virtually nothing about me.

Amusing tale, but detached from reality. I'm not particularly surprised by that.

I see you are in serious mode but remember I am just passing the time here so try not to take everything to heart now. I like Cito because of his humour
more than anything else and hack is a wonderful educator and my favourite member at Rat Skep. So nothing unusual in that now. As for being cocksure
well the day you stop talking about your favourite subject will be the day I admit to being wrong. But even if that day is today it matters not because I
actually have no problem in being wrong. None whatsoever. And as I said I am just passing the time so no need to be so intense now. Peace man. Peace

Maybe you should have a problem (with yourself) with being wrong. Because you are regularly wrong. I'm in a "serious mode" because some irregular poster is misrepresenting me.

For all their numerous faults, the A+ ers did one thing right. One brilliant beautiful shining thing: They made a rule against importing drama.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic.

Do you care to provide evidence that that particular rule was used to "export" anyone? Are you just saying that because you're scared of being suspected of not hating them enough?

Coming from you, that means very little.

Coming from someone who refuses to contribute positively to this forum, that means precisely fuck all. Go crawl back under your rock.

Do you care to provide evidence that that particular rule was used to "export" anyone?
No. Two reasons: 1. You are asking someone with not a great enough care factor about A+. 2. I never said nor implied that "that particular rule was used to "export" anyone".

Scared of what someone might think of me? Yeah. Right. Also, where do you get the idea from that I hate "them"?

You said "at the cost of" which implies causation.

Maybe you're scared of what you'll think of you. Your knee jerk reaction gives away some kind of strong feelings on the matter. Repressed lust perhaps?
