EC>Bob Klahn has decided that he will no longer participate in this echo.
EC>Given the number of times that his shallow thinking, dishonesty, and
EC>childishness have been exposed here, perhaps he made the right decision.


EC>But instead of preserving some sense of honor and integrity by simply
EC>leaving, he has chosen the cowardly approach of intentionally and
EC>repeatedly violating the rules and getting himself banned.  This will
EC>allow him to pretend that he was a martyr who was persecuted.  Wilson may
EC>even buy that line, but no one else will.


EC>Regulars will notice that this is an old Klahn standard strategy.  He
EC>doesn't accept responsibility for his own actions.  He likes to pretend
EC>that his actions are "forced" upon him.  You may remember his old line
EC>that he NEVER WANTS to flame anyone, but sometimes they FORCE him to flame
EC>them. In his mind, Bob sees himself as easily pushed around, easily
EC>bullied, and easily forced to do things that he doesn't want to do.  There
EC>are clear childhood issues there.


EC>Klahn wants to be banned.  Klahn is now banned from this echo.  Everyone
EC>else here is free to discuss him and to respond in this echo to posts he
EC>makes in the DEBATE echo or any other echo, as long as your comments
EC>follow the rules of the echo: no threats and no actionable defamation.  He
EC>has several available avenues of response to what you say here, including
EC>his own echo.

~>  Because of your absurd insistance on trying to enforce my echo

EC>He "had to."  It is "difficult."  Classic victimology.  Poor Bob!  He
EC>thinks that FOLLOWING the rules of his echo somehow SABOTAGES his echo!
EC>All he had to do was follow his own rules, and he just COULD NOT DO IT!


~>  You are banned from the Debate echo until you abandon this
~>  blatant attempt to sabatoge my echo.


EC>Oh no!  Not that!  Will he also ban me from MENSA, where he sits and talks
EC>to himself?
