Of course, as Dr. Kissinger remarked, "Even a paranoid has some real enemies."

Oh right, sorry. People who expound on the rules are fascists even if they pretend they're merely presenting historical realities that are in no way prescriptive. This statement is not related to the one that shall remain nameless because I said so and my word is Law.

Didn't he also say, "Paranoia is the greatest aphrodisiac"?

Not quite. For Dr. K, "Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. " And in his case, it worked.

Then you tried to assert that yours and Will's are identical, and that Will's and Flusser's are totally unlike. That was shown to be patently false.

The only one here who does not realize exactly how this thread played out, and exactly your role in it, is you.


FNB, fugly turnback cuffs aside, I think you fail miserably in your attempt to substantiate your arguments. In your defense, you might not be the only one who does not realize how this thread played out.

In accepting that I am not and will not be in the know, I have convinced myself that both Manton and FNB, along with other senior members are all part of some super secret organization and that their discussion of Greeks, ugly cuffs and railway stalking is codespeek for proper placement of satellites and troop movements.

Damn, it's worse than crack and meth together! Please, no more referrals unless there are actual sartorial pics.

Fixed.
