On Turning Forty while reading the RI board

(Though how I'm supposed to ban him again, since he's supposedly already banned, I don't know. I guess I'll have to figure that out when the time comes.) As you said, he admitted to mental issues on another board. But something like that predisposes me to act more charitably towards him; a charity I don't extend to other posters such as "Free Zundel" whom I've rebanned many times when he's reappeared under various guises.

My primary rule when posting on a forum is to speak from the heart...truer than in 'real life' where I have to maintain a certain POV for work, another for home, etc.<br><br>Here I am myself....with all my foibles, biases, etc. When it comes to what the poster said about his wife, then quickly detouring from that heartfelt sharing of his personal turmoils to... <br><br>...a coldblooded dismissal of a theory that others discuss on this other threads on this board. Those who believe in CD reject the Bushie Agenda and all its criminality, while those who reject CD...in essence, even though many equivocate, accept the Bushie agenda and the racist myth of OBL etc.<br><br>There was something disconcertingly disingenous about the poster when he made that shift.<br><br>Another point, mental illness is a reality. I think SOME of those who believe in mind control want to minimize and/or dismiss the impact and prevalence in our society of mental illness...and ascribe all the symptoms of mental illness to mind control. This is a huge error, IMO.<br><br>Even before I discovered this board, I believed there were experiments going on by government, etc. to brainwash and control human behaviour...I still believe this.<br><br>But much of what that poster described about his wife's behaviour seemed to me possible symptoms of mental illness. Some people think to say someone is mentally ill is to insult them. You should think carefully about your attitude towards mental illness if you believe that.<br><br>I have seen mental illness up close and personal in my own family. It IS a terrible scourge...I have also seen it overcome through psychiatric medicine. I have seen where it can be 'lived with' courageously and fully.<br><br>My point was that when two individuals with mental illness attempt to 'treat' each other...this can lead to a lifetime of heartbreak for themselves and for all who love them.<br><br>You can accept that POV or reject it. I'm speaking from the heart and from experience.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>GC <p></p><i></i>

I'll take this opportunity (though its not directly connected) to protest your use of terms such as "talmud merchant". I am a bit less concerned about it, so it may seem like accepting it, I take it as a mental health issue, namely, a need to sort of curse or use foul language, in a way that actually hurts YOU, and not the other person. <br>I don't know what talmud merchant is at all, due to ignorance or english illiteracy but it sounds really bad. Since I have a lot of experience with people who are in deep distress, I am overlooking a lot stuff that others don't. But it is annoying, espcially if one (as I am) happens to be the subject of the curse. That applies also to those who ask "are YOU jewish ????" its almost tempting to add :everyone take their pants off and let's see if you are circumcized. <br>Here again, since I am an Israeli (didn't live with antisemitism at all) and also aware of why some people might feel overwhelmed with ISrael's position - I am not even registering this. Namely, my brain skips these terms as in rubbish or background noise.<br>And Yes, it does look bad to newcomers, who don't know what and who is who. it looks like slime. So if you want to salvage your own self respect, reconsider those terms, or make very clear what is talmud merchant and how it can be justified to use it publicly.<br>I think DE is correct in his protests, even though I personally overlook these utterances, but not everyone does or should do that. <p></p><i></i>

Now I don't think a reasonable observer can attribute what's said here to you, but I do think a disclaimer would be a good idea because the one thing I could easily see happening is some Village Voice story on conspiracy theory start citing some of the more ridiculous shit that's put out here as though you/we all believe it. <br><br>Now, there's no real way to stop that, but given that you have the ability to make the disclaimer, I'd go ahead and make it and put it up front on the main discussion board page. You know, something like you have an open mind; support free speech and the marketplace of ideas; don't have time to monitor; if they want to know what you think, read the blog; have to kiss a bunch of frogs to find a prince in this business; aren't responsible for what other people say, but in extreme cases of racist/holocaust revisionist crap or whatever you'll try and step in to protect the integrity of the board. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=newkid@rigorousintuition>NewKid</A> at: 3/7/06 12:24 pm<br></i>

Just curious, but is Makow off the table?<br><br>I don't think he's an anti-semite when you read his writings in its entirety, especially when he calls it a conspiracy that is mostly freemasonry and luciferianism. He's also Jewish let's not forget.<br><br>My own take on things is that every major religion has been co-opted, which includes Christianity too. Pope's inverted cross, anyone?<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v709/raichu4u/wiggle.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

[Rigorous Intuition]

Regarding Makow, I've asked members to consider carefully his content, because virtually everything of his that gets posted here has ended up locked and in the Fire Pit. He espouses racial theories that are not welcome here, regardless of his own heritage. <p></p><i></i>

[Rigorous Intuition]

I've asked members to respectfully disagree regarding the mechanics of 9/11. Being agnostic on CD, as I am as well, doesn't mean accepting the "Bushie agenda." <br><br>Let's try to dismantle some of the wedge issues, okay?<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

[nomo]

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>You call CD a 'fairy tale' even though it's based on physics...</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>I just question whether the physics of CD even <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>apply </strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->to this case.

There's no doubt in my mind that in terms of logistics, flying planes into buildings is a <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>hell of lot easier</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> than rigging three (or is it four or five by now) buildings with high explosives, and demolishing them in front of a live audience without anyone having a clue. <br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>You don't make sense, nomo...but don't let that stop you.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>Well, I'm just trying to keep it simple.

Gee, I didn't think saying the truth about 9/11 was such a dangerous act!<br><br>GC <p></p><i></i>
