Ah !!!  So you already know me after being a participant here what ?  2 months ?

If that ain't arrogance I don't know what is.

I've been a very regular participant since 2006.  Member since 2002.  Listener since 2001.

You're barely a grasshopper when it comes to me and things RP.

You can try and bait me all you want.  I choose when, where and what I engage in here.

One thing that may help you out about me is that when you see me posting album covers in a particular thread it means that I am ripping albums and in the process have a lot of time to pass.  

My plate is currently full and there is no space for you on it at this time.  Your turn will come.  I hope that you'll be up for it when it does.

Communication 101.

Message sent is not always the message received.

I am on the receiving end, not the sending end.

I am receiving contempt in the message.

Do you know what "soft skills" are without looking it up ?

Ask some others who think like you around here for help and guidance on this.  There are many here to be found.

They all have well established thoughts about me and are certainly not shy when it comes to sharing them.

No, that's not it.  Don't call him "warped." He's in a lot of pain.  He lashes out at us because he hurts.  Hurting him more doesn't help.


Hurt People, hurt people.

Okay.  Tell me about it.  Please explain to me how I'm not being empathetic, but rather expressing "pity"?

You just don't get it.  Empathy is empathy.

You are clearly confused as to what you consider empathy.

You mistake virtue signaling for empathy.  They are not the same.

Or maybe in your mind they are. 

Your display of what you consider to be empathy comes off as moral arrogance.

Be that as it may, the virtue signalers lost, big time.

You are the only person on this website who AFAIK is more hateful and more miserable than Kurtster.  I'm so sorry for you.  You are hateful to us because you have so much self-hatred - in my assessment. I have so much empathy for you, I don't know what happened. But you are easily the most miserable person on this website.  I'm sorry for whatever it was. 

No, I'm not involved with any cult.  I have no suggestions for what will make you finally forgive yourself.  I think any cult would offer that readily, so that is not me. 

But, I hope you can find a more happy life at some point.  And, I wish you the best of luck should you try.

Plato makes a terrific point in the Politeia: the most unhappy person in the world is the tyrant.  When humans inflict iniquity on other humans it takes away from our happiness (or as the founding fathers of the USA referred to it: the pursuit of happiness).

I’m really sorry you are so miserable.  I hope someday you learn to become a person who pursues happiness.

On a personal level I don't think she is even that upset.  This was just a setback in her career and lust for power.  When you have no plan, beliefs or passion other than power the stakes are just not as high.  She is probably relieved not to take any more abuse,  get out of the spotlight and enjoy the many profits of her political career.  I actually felt sorry for her being such an empty shell of a human being having every moment of her life carefully scripted by her Deep State overlords, but she was destroying all of us so she had to go.   She is free now.



100% agree. My sense of her at her speech yesterday was that she is immensely relieved. Unburdened by what was or whatever....that Marx quote has incredible legs.....
