I’m beginning to think that maybe if we ignore the creature under the bridge he MIGHT just go away. Of course, he doesn’t seem like he would be intelligent enough to realize he _can_. ---

You say something. People refute that with logic, or explain things in a way that you don’t agree with. You follow this up by calling them 12 year olds that are twisting your words. Explain to them where they twisted your words, where they misspoke. Otherwise, you aren’t helping your case at all, and it creates more confusion. ~J ---

Jaade, that post about “last word” was not for you. It was an answer on post 78 of petter. And why do you quote me while not giving an other comment comment but “bolding mine” ? ? Salaam. Aldebaran ---

Jadde, I’m sorry but I don’t go over all these posts to point out what and where they add and twist and alter posts of mine without even bringing the original into the discussion. Or do you think I’m going to trace down my own posts, then bring them together with theirs in order to demonstrate what is twisted or added or misquoted where and explain hundreds of times my words, intentions and so on? You may do the gathering, I’ll give the comments, OK? Thank you. Salaam. Aldebaran. ---

See now petter a demonstration of the idiotic childishness of people like you? You can’t leave the little “let’s single him out and get him” group, can you? You would all would be utterly amusing if it wasn’t so sad to see supposedly adults behave the way you people do. Salaam. Aldebaran. ---

By the way: I’m in the meantime informed that the way people behave here IS indeed a typical American schoolkid mentality that seems to stick to certain people even when they grow up. If there are non Americans in this cosy little group, I feel double sorry for you. You let yourself carried away by US immaturity. Salaam. Aldebaran. ---

Your post happened to fall right below mine, thereby leading to my assumption. If you used quotes, it would help that a great deal. The last word in my post was “immature”, this is the word I thought you were focusing on. I quoted the last time you had used that word, and bolded only that word. Typing “bolding mine” underneath is the board’s way of letting people know that the quote has been modified by the current poster. > [@](#): > > Jadde, I’m sorry but I don’t go over all these posts to point out what and where they add and twist and alter posts of mine without even bringing the original into the discussion. > > Or do you think I’m going to trace down my own posts, then bring them together with theirs in order to demonstrate what is twisted or added or misquoted where and explain hundreds of times my words, intentions and so on? > > You may do the gathering, I’ll give the comments, OK? > Thank you.

Read some of the posts made in the last 24 hours. Get a feel for how we do things here. Understand the purpose of the Pit. I cannot emphasize this point enough. … and on preview, it’s not really that small a group, is it, **Aldebaran**. Out of 30,000+ members, has anyone agreed with you? ---

Is it just me, or does this character sound like [Dr Bronner?](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_386.html) “Replace half-true Socialist-fluoride poison & tax-slavery with full-truth, work-speech-press & profitsharing Socialaction! All-One! So, help build 4 billion Hannibal wind-power plants, charging 96 billion battery-banks, powering every car-factory-farm-home-monorail & pump, watering Babylon-roof-gardens & 800 billion Israel-Milorganite fruit trees, guarded by Swiss 6000 year Universal Military Training,” Ok, Bronner is a little more coherent and a _lot_ less hostile, but still. the similarities are astounding.

Petter, I’m only here for two days. How can I have met all the members? You belong to the cosy little group that is stucked in schoolkid mentality. I don’t care. There are indeed enough others and surely a lot of them will be intersted in dialogue and discussion. Isn’t it bedtime by now for you? Salaam. Aldebaran. ---

Ah I overlooked something: The “purpouse” of the PIT. Sounds really like the little schoolkids Secret Temple to me. Well you can have your “PIT” and your “purpouse” but I’m a grown up and I don’t have little schoolkids Secret Temples with Secret Rulings anymore. Are you sure you people don’t watch too many Hollywood productions and take it for real life? . ---

Sorry? What is better then wishing someone peace? By the way; those who post here don’t do that because the “agree” with me. They do that because they need so badly someone to be the middlepoint of their disgust in order to feel themselves good and surperior. They aren’t even capable of thanking me for my courtesy to help them refind their mentally balance. Salaam. Aldebaran. ---

I would like to suggest you investigate your company’s health plan benefits, **Aldebaren**. I’ve only been here for a short time as well, and from my observations can assure you that this isn’t the forum for free therapy. In fact, it’s likely that you should stop while you’re ahead.
