    lwm...bucky...derbig

    it lost it's entertainment value around page 30. go to bed. and fuck you lwm (proof that elephants aren't the only one's who don't forget)

    cheers

    Unless you are full of shit, and just showed up to extend the joke, would you care to e-mail me at mooser42001@yahoo.com?

    I can provide notarised proofs of my existence.

    So basically, if bucky doesn't like what someone is saying, he simply says they don't exist. Good strategy. And you patg, do you care to tell me what posts under my name were written by LWM, or are you just a case of enhanced suggestibility?

    Chris, I have very little to say as far as making some kind of conclusion about the quality of LWM's ideas, but today buckyl maintains that I, and several others, are really some form of LWM.

    Can you substantiate the accusation that my posts were written by LWM at any time, by any method? Can you show me a method by which someone can post as Derbig Mooser, once I have an account under that name?

    So you throw around one of the worst accusations of on-line behavior, and you've got nothing to back it up, in anay way, but you demand that other commentors take you seriously!

    Chris, I certainly hope you are not a liberal. I have never believed in the "brain-dead liberal" and hope I don't have to start.

    So from now on, when I post, shall I just accept that a certain proportion of the commentors or readers will assume I am not who I say I am, but rather a clone or handmaiden of LWM.

    And I'm supposed to like you, and listen to you, in return for this.

    Thanks friend, You and bucky and patg sure know how to advance both your case and the conversation.

    It has been a most discouraging and disheartening demonstration of some particularly disturbing aspects of herd mentality.

    So when I start making posts under your name, and they don't reflect well on you (and they won't friend, they won't) who ya gonna call? But your not worried about it-cause you know as well as I do it can't be done. But you hoped by volume and repetition to convince whatever suggestible readerrs there be that it is the case.

    Thanks friend. we're in good hands with you.

  • Oh, so LWM

    posted at certain times under another handle, which he is perfectly at liberty to do, and it just drove you nuts. Now you're seeing LWMs everywhere.

    Holy Shit, does he have that much power over you, that you offend every new commentor for his sake? Wow. What a stellar addition to the discourse.

    Thank You. I am perfectly willing to be batted around for my own ideas, I'm not responsible for LWM's.

    And now you explain the extent of LWM's transgressions ("his sock-puppets shriek with irony") I have a better grasp of the seriousness of Buckyl's et al accusations. Thanks.

    i was not questioning yours or anyone's ID. i just thought the pissing match about who's who had lost it's value.

    heck, i like your posts (and your handle)...

    -- patg

    And you were perfectly sanguine with the accusations of my basic dishonesty. Thanks for that.

    And man, if I'm standing on the dignity of my honesty I'm in trouble. A fall can't be far behind!

    I'm glad you like my posts, I'll tell LWM.

    You aren't an LWM sock puppet.

    I am.

    Yes, it's true, I'm just a figment of LWMs feverish imagination,...

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Have Mercy! Have Mercy! I've lost my existence, and gotten another wife! What more do you want of me? What am I, chopped liver? Wait, does somebody have a Ritz?

    Okay, this is over. Thanks buckyl, I'm sure we'll be friends forever. Closer, and you know what they say about keeping your friends close...

    The idea of dismantling the empire and the killing machine that is bleeding us dry as well as killing innocents around the world in not welcomed by some in these parts.

    buckyl

    You know buckyl, it may sound funny, but you don't have to worry that much. How are they gonna keep it going? No matter how high-tech (and now that I think about it, empires actually lasted longer, long ago) things get, there are certain basic requirements for a policy of imperial bent.

    One of them is a constant supply of young men, primed to do the dirty-work of Empire. And our work is, of course dirtier than ever. Although, wow, the British could kill softly with economic disruption, which is fatal to traditional cultures.

    The Army Bush has now is almost entirely a "captive" army, trapped by the terms of their enlistments and threatened with stop-loss or worse.

    On the quality of the latest recruits to the cause, well you can draw your own conclusions.

    And that is only one of the manifold ways in which this effort is not sustainable.

    Jesus, I feel for those poor bastards: One thing I knew at the beginning of the war was that those men would never, if it could be prevented, come home able to tell the tale of what happened.

    Of course, there is the question of how much dust will be raised in the collapse, but then there was a problem with that on 9-11, too, if you remember.

    Okay Bucky, there's some vintage Mooser. If it's just like LWM's posts, well I'm sorry, Iguess you'll have to put up with us both.

  • Good to Know!

    Kitt is a fair bondsmen who aims to serve the truth

    Good Celery

    Thanks, it's a service of which I might never know when I need it, and when I do, I'll probably need it bad.

    After all, identity theft is a felony.

    Gosh, I think he's been perfectly frank about showing us that. Now I'll do my best to forget it.
