> [@hotflungwok](#): > > Wow, how did I miss this? A poster who makes lekatt look sane and objective. I red through the other thread, and I can’t honestly say I know what he was talking about. It was the forum equivalent of watching Zardoz. I blue through it. ---

> [@SiXSwordS](#): > > **nd\_n8** laid out a concise delineation of your sacred marriage tripe and you continued to disgorge your vile, bowel-like psyche into that thread. You are too kind. But then again, so was I. maatorc, you’re a fucktard. You might want to try reading some of that shit you told us to read instead of dropping titles out of your ass that a cousin of a friend of a friend whose brother’s former army buddy’s ex-wife thought might be somehow related to the fucking holy grail. And while you’re at it look into a couple of things called commonality and casuality. Then bring me some God damned pie… ass. ---

Earlier a poster said to the effect that here I am dealing with the elite, the BIG LEAGUE, top scholars, University dons, and he is so right. Your erudition, wisdom, insight, and many other indescribable talents, and other skills best mot mentioned, are a wonder to behold. You are all wonderful people and it was a great honour to have met you. ---

Whether **maatorc** intended it or not, whether he was casting for a truly enlightened individual by sending encoded messages or he was spewing random crap, you know what? He trolled us big and good. ☹ ---

I earlier wrote - > [@](#): > > The answer to ALL of youse anxieties as to the existence and proof of the anatomical myth-work is on page 170, paragraph 8, of one of G. I. Gurdjieff’s works. , and add : published in 1991 by Viking Press. And add - What Gurdjieff wrote is _identical_ to the central doctrine of an inner group within the Rosicrucian operation which has been continuously active since the sixteenth century. This doctrine underlies this central movement within the western mystical tradition and precisely explains the nature and meaning of the anatomical myth. I will not personally reply to anyone on this. ---

You do, of course, realize that if you had said this exact thing back in the previous thread then there could have been a more serious discussion / debate on it, right? Being opaque may play well in Kansas (I hear the Westboro folk eat it up) but it’s better accepted to lay your cards on the table here. ---
