        Perhaps zenworm speculates about me because he's unable to   
   address what I've said.

        Those who refuse to accept they've lost an argument may in   
   some cases displace their emotional anguish into   
   pseudo-analysis of the person they argued with, for instance by   
   guessing wildly about his history.

        Zenworm confirmed my point re: name-calling, topic-dodging   
   replies by offering more of the same.

        Zenworm is being even more than usually stupid.  Evidently   
   he's unable to grasp the difference between noting the   
   half-dozen places where I gave Jigme the last word and replying   
   when he resumed hostilities.   
      
   > There is also the possibility Catawumpus wants a job offer from the PRC   
      
        Seems unlikely the PRC would bother with Usenet, but if by   
   any chance it does then the most logical candidates for a   
   paycheck are Tang and Jigme.  They both preach accepting things   
   as-is:  ideal for discouraging dissenters.  Tang adds   
   occasional attacks on Tibetan Buddhism, and Jigme throws in the   
   notion that anyone who complains is to blame for having   
   non-conforming expectations, an Orwellian principle that nearly   
   any nasty dictator could love.

        More contentless name-calling.  Pitching a fit seems to be   
   the limit of zenworm's abilities.

        According to the Four Noble Truths, suffering reaches from   
   birth to death -- "Birth is ill, decay is ill, sickness is   
   ill, death is ill," etc. -- and originates in "the craving   
   that leads to rebirth," which the Buddha suggests extinguishing.   
   A highly negative perspective on life in this world and   
   apparently a personal offense to many of the worldlings posting   
   in these newsgroups.
