   >>>>> OK, you win. Everybody's an idiot except you.   
      
        Definitely idiotic of you to think that your little clique   
   is everybody.   
      
   >>>>> The means justify the ends, and if you have to twist the other   
   >>>>> person's words, throw around invalid arguments to confuse the   
   >>>>> issue and misrepresent the others' positions, that's ok, just as   
   >>>>> long as you get the last word in - it's a battle of attrition.   
      
        Heh.  I just lately gave you the last word in a half-dozen   
   or so places and then returned to politely ignoring you.   
   Result:  here you are back again, blathering away  just as usual.   
   You're an attention whore.   
      
        Of course that wouldn't matter if you'd backed up what you   
   said.  But instead you've made accusations w/out giving one   
   bit of evidence, proving only that you're having a fit of pique.

   >>>> Perhaps Catawumpus is   
   >>>> a woman who has lost a child   
   >>>> and suffers from the anger of grief.   
      
        Perhaps zenworm speculates about me because he's unable to   
   address what I've said.  When last heard from he was busy   
   making excuses, stamping his feet, and referring to examples he   
   hadn't given.   
      
   Evelyn :   
      
   >>> There is something very angry about him/her that simply cancels out   
   >>> the possibility of rational discussion.   
      
        Excuses, excuses.  Evelyn's attempt at rational discussion   
   was based on the obvious falsehood that I halted my   
   interpretation of the Four Noble Truths at the first one:  same   
   lie she's recited during earlier conversations.  But she   
   doesn't want to concede they take a highly critical perspective   
   on worldly existence, so all she can do is toss   
   always-unsupported accusations.  Pathetic, of course, but there   
   she is.   
      
   Keynes :   
      
   >> We'd like to help, but we haven't enough skill.   
      
        But you compensate for your lack of skill with a plenitude   
   of eel-wriggling.  I hope that you know a really good   
   dry-cleaner, because you've been dragging your soul through the   
   mud.   
      
   Jigme Dorje :   
      
   > Yes, you are both very perceptive, and that is of course what I was   
      
        You claimed I insisted on having the last word even though   
   I had just given it to you in several different places.   
   Obviously what really bothers you is being ignored.  To get the   
   attention you're desperate for you tossed some totally   
   unsupported accusations, same way you make laughable assertions   
   about religion and philosophy.
