I checked through my old Fray material and found some personal e-mail exchanges I had with Arkady in 2002. They were congenial on both our parts but accomplished nothing. He is no less stubborn than am I and just as convinced as I am of the correctness of the individual opinions we shared. We both came away from the experience thoroughly convinced, I'm sure, that the other one was touched in the head.We've known each other for a good ten years and over several forums....
I have always had words of praise for your contributions but found that dealing with you on a one to one basis was certainly much less than self indulgent.
Your Avatar says it all about you....you really do see yourself as descending from on high and follow the typical lefty mantra of no retreat, no admission, no apologies. I have enjoyed reading your stuff nonetheless.
Frankly I find this particular post rather disingenuous. If you reason for being here was self indulgent....what exactly has changed and why do you feel the need to explain? Curious really.
As far a PJ being a poor target I totally disagree. PJ is probably one of the best places on the web to try out a political hack line to see what it might stir up in the way of a sample reaction from the other side.
There is no doubt in my mind that the constant level of droning at the pace and sophistication that has been generated on this board over the past two years is not privately sourced. I have noted more than once prosaic simile that screams " SAME AUTHOR WITH A DIFFERENT MONIKER " specifically on this sub-forum. I took it to mean that I was posting in the presence of professionals who do propaganda and spin for a living.
Good luck with the progressive Agenda...say hi to your supervisor for me will you?
