I also happen to read people very, very well. I'm trained to do it, I make a living doing it, and I get daily practice at it. It's not normal for someone to write an "epic" poem..............about themselves. Tongue-in-cheek, serious, half-kidding........no matter, Arator. The very tenor of your response, automatically assuming that this was about "you", is further evidence of what I'm saying. Yes, Arator, you're into yourself whether you choose to admit it or not. No skin off my nose if you don't want to face that fact. It's the truth.
Now, I'll also add that there's not a thing wrong with having a healthy ego. An ego out of control is a whole other issue.
BTW.......news flash for ya: I'm a SERIOUS "paleo-con". Big time. Always have been............and you don't speak for me in that sense.
Lose the persecution complex and contribute, 'cause like I said, I think you can do just that.
1) What happened to his pro bono lawyer? Was that Clarity? I heard that Clarity doesn't post here any more (and I haven't seen Clinton's A Liar either - she leave too?), why was that?
2) What are some of these "rival sites" that banned members have been starting?
For the record, I've been a member of this site since 1998, and was lurking for several months prior to registering. It's far and away the best source for news and information, especially for our point of view. I find nothing wrong with most of the vanities, and find some truly entertaining. The flaming could be toned down, but hey, as long as I see an argument mixed in between the slams, I've got no problem. It's too bad that some of the longtime members have gotten into the problems they have with Jim Robinson and left or were banned, but it's Jim's site and his vision, and that needs to be respected as well.
But you said I was the issue, remember?
Saying.......and truly meaning........all of the above, having read many of your replies here and on the "Reformation Reunion" (or whatever it's called; sorry to say I've ALREADY forgotten after spending HOURS there this afternoon at TKE's urging), I've also come to the conclusion that you ARE, in fact, incredibly self-absorbed. I don't say that to be obnoxious or overly rude to you, Arator, but dude...........you've gotta step away from that mirror for just a few.
Gee, now where would I get the idea you went to RuR to research my posts? Uh, maybe because you SAID so?
OK, now that we both know I'm not completely crazy, I'm surprised and glad to hear that you are a paleo-con. I was even more surprised to see that you've been a FReeper ever since '98. So, did you miss my FReeper Brigades HQ site? Jethro Tull and I started that up back during the primaries, and it was in that sense that I assumed the role as "titular head" of the Paleo-cons on FR. I certainly did not mean to imply that I speak for anyone other than myself, including you.
At any rate, I'm surprised I don't have a stronger impression of you. I don't recall you posting much during the passionate Brigadier vs. Bushie wars during the election season. In any case, I'm pleased to make your acquaintence.

That would be so easy to do if only they would stop persecuting me. LOL.
