Crap, I'm a little embarrassed now reading my post. I can see that it comes across as "emotional sniping" or a "Farewell Cruel World" letter, as has been pointed out. I should have worded it differently and avoided the referrence to my experience in the CD thread and the "this will be my last post" dramatics. That was written in a fit of frustration. What needed to be discussed was what this board is and should and shouldn't be, not who's on who's side and who's done whom wrong.<br><br>banned said - <!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>The point is, if someone is miffed, go or stay, but don't tie the board up talking about YOU<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br>I agree, which is why I'd like Jeff to lock this thread, if it's possible. There are more important things to discuss than my hurting pussy.<br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Qutb either ran out of arguments, or ran out of energy to make them<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--> <br>Mostly out of energy, but more importantly I came to realize that I don't share many of the implicit assumptions or the general weltanschauung here, so it's probably not the right place for me to hang out. <br><br>I sincerly appreciate all the posts urging me to stay, though I'm a little embarrassed by it too. I'll probably contribute a post now and then. <br><br>BTW, I want to emphasize that I didn't mean "showing signs of suffering from untreated paranoid schizophrenia" to be an insult. I have friends who suffer from this illness. I know the symptoms, I've seen it up close. As a general rule, believing in massive conspiracies isn't a symptom of paranoia, but believing oneself to be at the center and the target of one is. When posters relate that they know "they" are after them, because they've seen black cars around the neighborhood etc, that sounds very familiar to me. A friend of mine once confided to me that "they" had a device with which they could hear our conversation in their van, parked adjacent to my house. He also told me they had positioned snipers around the house. "You're probably not gonna believe this, but I swear it's true!"<br><br>----------<br><br>Sweejak said - <br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Never addressing the article itself I got the typical reaction that IHR is a "Holocaust denier" site<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br>Gee, I wonder why people keep saying that. <p><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:black;font-family:century gothic;font-size:x-small;"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Qutb means "axis," "pole," "the center," which contains the periphery or is present in it.
