Do you really think that we don't recognise you?

I've just tuned in to EE's news for the first time in several days, and now I find I'm being bombshelled yet again for something I have had nothing to do with! Incidentally, I've never been a fan of Ron Paul, and I'm certainly more in line in my thinking with the neocons than isolationist frieks like Buchanan and Paul. You should try to keep a little calmer and stop spitting the dummie every time you read a comment you don't like. I'm not the only sane person around here, and the one who is writing comments like me is laughing him/herself hysterical at how a lot of people misfire constantly, blaming me for this or that, when really someone else has written the comment. The only thing sad about all this is that someone is having a good time cracking up while I have to take the public brunt for it all. However, for the sake of intellectual freedom, let's let bygones be bygones, because my detractors have shown how little they tolerate public freedom of expression.

When a vague, inane and fatuous comment appears here, it's perfectly natural to mistake it for something by Maxim. There aren't many of your kind around.
And stop belly-aching about freedom of intellectual expression. There is nothing intellectual, or even literate, in your drivel. Most of the time, you only come here to goad us in some respect.

Maxim -- for the past six months or so, you have been mercifully subdued in your "messages". Before that, you regularly provoked outrage with gratuitous insults. Then, in response to justified indignation, you flat out denied it. Now you say, "let bygones be bygones".
Even though you're stupid and mentally troubled, we're prepared to forgive you -- the very minute that you acknowledge your trespasses against us and express some remorse.

I agree. But as far as Maxim is concerned, he has done nothing wrong and he has nothing to apologize for. Still, he might say "I'm sorry" just to get us off his back. Then he might behave himself for a while, but eventually he will take the boots to us again. Don't forget, we are dealing with someone who is, as you say, "mentally troubled".

Maxim deserves our forgiveness if -- and only if -- he admits wrong-doing, expresses sincere remorse for it, and promises to avoid repetition.
I would not expect him to fulfill these prerequisites. He is, after all, stupid and mentally troubled.

"Re: he reminds me of Maxim"

Close. He is a huckster selling his own brand of wisdom. He describes himself this way: Dr. James N. Herndon is a media psychologist with Media Psychology Affiliates. He specializes in naturalistic research and media design for the worlds of politics and entertainment.

A quack? You decide.
