Now people can converse if they wish without wrecking Raymond's tribute thread.
You got some of me weighed up right, Mikado, but yer paranoia is showing if you think I am your enemy.
Apparently, I may have you weighed up correctly. This topic, "Kilroy was here" was to be the only topic and that anyone who wished to post a tribute to Raymond could without being a member. Those that knew him personally, those that communicated with him and those that cared for him and about him could post their thoughts. It was never meant to be a topic with multiple posts where anyone could start a thread and discuss whatever they wished. Who said the topic needed to be fixed? It is nothing more than an assumption of which I could give a few more descriptive words but I will refrain. As to paranoia, haven't had any since I was able to identify the "mendacity" that was surrounding a certain individual. If your not my enemy then why have you been acting and posting in a bellicose fashion or did you forget pedantic bastard? You may be correct in the use of pedantic but I believe you owe my Father an apology. As far as Cat posting to Kim, I decided to leave it. There are so many in all of our lives that were like Raymond and I felt a place to remember them and what they meant to us is important for they still live, as long as we remember them. Starting a new thread to say so, by anyone, is open. This thread is none of that and will be locked eventually.
Fruitbat wrote:BTW, Thanks for calling me bright, I'm not really, so it's an unexpected compliment.
I only state what I see. Your bright but you have a temper that I am sure has served you quite well in your endeavours through life. Your colorful adjectives in your posts on the Token remind of a certain admin at the Pegasus forum who felt that he could post any words he wanted, in any manner, but ban others who did.
Fruitbat wrote:I've been told about the "chip on my shoulder" before. it's an expression that isn't immediately self explanatory, so I can't comment whether it's true.
I just looked it up, if you mean: A person who has "a chip on his shoulder" is angry because of some thing that happened in the past.
I think you are referring to my well demonstrated dislike of manipulative and deceitful people, yeah I don't like em, and they do annoy me.
You can call it a chip on my shoulder if you like.
The fact that you chose to assume that a new thread was needed so that Non-members could posts certainly substantiates that title and renders my use of the term true.

Suspicion? I don't suspect you of anything. Never have and never will and as to the use of the word "snarkiness", I never quite liked that word for it is one of those "new" slang terms. What ever happened to expression with the use of the English language? I suppose it is acceptable since it has been in use for the past century but I think you are one who lives in a glass house and you are throwing a pile of stones around.
Fruitbat wrote:Given that your forum has just taken on a load of people who have just publically demonstrated how untrustworthy they are, at least as far as my personal dealings with them have proven YOU are the only draw for me here on this forum, so if I may ask you politely and without predjudice to please adjust your attitude, otherwise even this small effort I am making to see if there is any good in you will likely prove to tedious to maintain.
Again, my attitude. Why don't you go and read my posts on the Token and then go and read your responses to me. For that matter, why don't you go and read a good deal of yours and littlenki's remarks. If that is not enough, go back about two years and read Linda's posts and others responses and then come back and we will talk about "untrustworthy". Or, you can just leave it over there and come here through the Open Door provided and leave it all on the stoop.
Fruitbat wrote:After the last six months of controversy, lies, and organised discord on the token, I'm quite tired of dealing with "damaged" people.
I know it isn't their fault, but one can only take so much having to correct their infantile attempts to redefine reality, before you find yourself becoming somewhat fatigued, and unable to be patient with people who genuinely HAVE got the wrong end of the stick..
I would not know about the last six months, I only know about the last month. I don't go over there to read and as I told Linda on the "unhynotize forum", I will not go and read where I do not have the ability to post and the rest you know. I am still getting copies of posts in my email, now from two different sources, why, I don't know but I suspect it is to keep me informed of what is being said in my direction or it is to fuel something or one last item...lest I don't forget the deceit. As to the last part of your paragraph, I agree. I too would find it difficult after six months to be consistently repeating myself but then I believe I would move on. Just as I have not been posting on here in regard to Linda's persistent posts in regard to everything about me, even though I do take a post now and then but when compared to her postings, I am 1 to her 50.
Fruitbat wrote:Just as an aside, which MAY prove helpful in the longer run, MIkado, are you at all familiar with the concept of mendacity?
Dead easy to spot in others (once you know what to look for) yet almost impossible to spot in yourself...
20 years I been at it now, and I'm still NOT sure I've got it all! Do you ever catch yourself in it? Do you ever look?
Of course I am familiar with mendacity. What do you call what Linda has been posting in my direction? How about all the assumptive statements she makes and presents them as fact? And individuals accept those statements and build upon them with nothing more than her word. Did you ever read the book "Defying Gravity"? If you did then read the Due-Diligence posted here on this forum. If you have not read the book than the Due-Diligence is pointless and those that comment upon it, as was done on the Token, really are not objective and are part build upon the mendacity of certain individuals.
Fruitbat wrote:And (just in case this is my last posting), would you be kind enough to explain (as if to a child) what is the big deal about the gravitor?
IN comparison the "lifter" clearly lifts slightly more than it's own weight, so the potential is obvious, but as far as I can discern the gravitor has a lousy power to weight ratio, so can I ask why it is of such great interest?
If you want to discuss this, I would be more than happy to, in a cordial manner but you would be required to join. I realize you might wish not to due to the fact that Linda has banned three individuals for coming here. Why she has not banned Cat for posting is beyond me. Rose was going to come over and join to discuss quantum tunneling but alas, she appears to be controlled as well. Look at some of Linda's posts where she encouraged others to come here to talk. And when they did, what did she do? You do realize she wanted you to come her and join and not only on the forum but in an email....maybe she really wants to ban you as well and then...maybe not.

FB.
For being a a bright fellow did it ever occur to you that "aeroplane" is spelled differently in the United States and elsewhere in the world? You are so quick to correct others spelling perhaps you are the pedantic one.
Join if you want or not. It is not my loss but yours. I will say one thing. I asked you to explain the word "transductance" that you used and you ignored me. I asked you where you saw pictures of my work. Your ignored me. You then ask questions of me and expect answers. I will give them to you even though you have shown no respect for my questions but you will have to join.
I wish you well and will leave this thread open for the next day in the event you wish to make an intelligent and meaningful response and perhaps it will be a first good step forward for the both of us.
