Oooh, first pit thread!! It’s by–who? Well, that’s anticlimatic. Ok, I admit it. I had thought that the Arab world was divided into different countries with different histories, experiences, and viewpoints, but now that I’m told they’re one huge undifferentiated mass and it doesn’t matter where somebody comes who speaks for it, I’ll just lump Saudis, Egyptians, Yemenis, etc. all together. It doesn’t matter which nation somebody who claims to speak for All Arabs come from. Got it. I am not stalking you, my little Belgian, but after so many threads I am growing tired of your many attempts to distort and hijack so many threads with your florid and aggressive prose. Here’s the deal: I will no longer post in any thread you post in _if you refrain from this point forward from stereotyping the other posters in the thread by where they are from. Do not assume that all Westerners, Americans, or Europeans support a certain position that you disagree with. Do not ask questions in a leading or snide way. Do not attack those who disagree with you in a personal way. Be humble and try to learn like the true scholar you claim to be._ Deal? ---

It doesn’t matter which nation somebody who claims to speak for All Arabs come from. In my experience with you on this message board you already lump every Arab and especially those in the ME together, so what is now so new about this? Can you also tell me who claims here to be speaking for All Arabs besides what the little voice in your head tells you about this? By the way; can you also explain in detail what importance the nationality of a person has who by some official appointment would be able to speak for All Arabs? > [@](#): > > Got it. What you “got” obviously is little voices speaking in your head. > [@](#): > > I am not stalking you, my little Belgian You do it again. Why no moderator ever told you that harassing othe members and persistently trying to spread false information about other members is in violation of the rules is a little mistery. Yet whenever the voices in your head do not prevent you from normal reading and normal reasoning, you can find that spelled out in the SDMB rules all by yourself > [@](#): > > but after so many threads I am growing tired of your many attempts to distort and hijack so many threads with your florid and aggressive prose. Now I feel so sad for your. Not only do the little voices in your head command you to read posts you clearly do not understand; they also prevent you from discovering a very handy board tool named “ignore”. Try to look it up. It is not difficult to use. > [@](#): > > Here’s the deal Your little voices now obviously told you that I make “deals” with people who listen to little voices in their head?

Do not assume that all Westerners, Americans, or Europeans support a certain position that you disagree with. Do not ask questions in a leading or snide way. Do not attack those who disagree with you in a personal way. Now your voices even bring you to believe that you are in a position of power over an anonymous poster on a message board. Together with your obvious incompetence to read my posts, your incompetence to use a simple tool that makes that you don’t even need to look at them, this dramatic turn in your approach proves that you came to a stage where I would recommend professional help to silence those nasty little voices in your head. > [@](#): > > Be humble and try to learn like the true scholar you claim to be. You are now in a stage even far beyond the above described. You are now heading towards the sun thinking you are the centre of the universe. I would recommend you to take a mirror and try to look in it ignoring these little voices talking to you. I shall tell you what I see in it. I see a grown up woman who despite the fact that on occasion she can reason like an adult, on other occasions she never got beyong the littl-girl-in-US Highscool- mentality. That is when the little voices talk to her and she finds that very cosy, because she likes to think in this typical little girl world, where the world still turns auround here and her little demands. Well, I have nothing against your nostalgic looking back in your personal history. I have only something against it that for some reason you come to a message board and then pick a victim to be the centre of your girly-like reasoning and attidudes. The more since for some obscure reason the girly voices in your head told you to pick me. > [@](#): > > Deal? Time for you to realize that we are not on a little girl’s highschool playground here.

A Got over that, didn’t you? (Yeah, I know, just throwing unneeded fuel on the fire of this ridiculous pissing match before the mods come by and put it out, right?) Aldebaran, if you really wanted to put a permanent stop to Mehitabel’s behavior, you’d have emailed a Mod or someone else you trust on the board and asked them to forward an email from you to Mehitabel politely asking her to do so. You didn’t want that, though; you thought you’d make an attempt at publicly humiliating a ‘nosy woman’. You don’t necessarily want to lose her attention, you wanted even more and from other people telling you that you’re right. ---

Aldebaran - I think you would be doing all of us an honor if you told us not what country you are from, but rather _why_ you are unwilling or unable to tell us what country you are from. Please note that I do not consider your origin or your motives to be any of my business. Nor do I consider it my right to ask you thee questions, as it is not. It is purely from curiosity that I ask why you have taken the unusual move - for this board - of chosing to exercise discretion about your national background. I believe that an answer to my question, which you have no obligation to give, will help clear the air in this and other threads and restore a certain modicum of order and harmony to the discussion (so much as that is realistically possible on this board) by forestalling additional distracting digressions. Thank you. ---

> [@Portia](#): > > Aldebaran, if you really wanted to put a permanent stop to Mehitabel’s behavior, you’d have emailed a Mod or someone else you trust on the board and asked them to forward an email from you to Mehitabel politely asking her to do so. You clearly have no idea what you talk about. Two moderators received months a go a very extensive list with links, all leading to similar posts as I gave links to in this thread. All made by Mehitabel. I asked them if they could ask her to stop this. In addition, I asked the same when I used the “report this post” button. Never received a reaction. Yçu can however find on the ATMB a thread I made there handling about a serious problem the behaviour of Mehitabel provoked, and involving one of the moderators. > [@](#): > > You didn’t want that, though; Yes, we have here once again a self-declared and clear-voyant psychiatrist. > [@](#): > > you thought you’d make an attempt at publicly humiliating a ‘nosy woman’.

So sorry to disturb your dreams of being a skilled, professional clear voyant psychiatrist, but I have enough “attention” in real life from people who are very much worth mine. That includes two stunningly beautiful, intelligent highly educated women with whom I am married and with whom I have children. I am quite sure that even if I knew Mehitabel in real life she would have a lot of problems to attrackt my attention. I am even sure she would fail completely in trying. Maybe you can go back to your highschool playground to meet Mehitabel somewhere? Salaam. A ---

> [@Lute Skywatcher](#): > > Then why don’t _you_ use it? You’re obviously not, otherwise this thread wouldn’t be here. If I used it or not has really no relation with this thread. The problem of Mehitabel constistently, repeatedly, non-stop posting false information about my “identity” as it is born and shaped in her vivid fantasy stays visible and hence is read by the other members. The confusion this provokes lead repeatedly to situations where people show up in discussions and declare me to be “Belgian” (sometimes they even added that “Mehitabel said so”) and hence to them I “don’t know what I talk about” or “I am an immigrant only thinking to know what goes on while I do not live there” when I talk about my region of the world. The variations on this theme are legio. The same when people come to read her vivid fantasies about “Aldebaran the Saudi”. It is difficult enough as it is for me to write in this language. I have now more then enough of it that I have to repeat over and over again that Mehitabel has no clue about me and that what she spreads about me only lives in her fantasy. Salaam. A ---
