Yeah; the mistake of hoping you'd to support your assertions; you'd
rather attempt a sophistric end-around by relabeling them 'opinions', a
designation which you, again in classic Hermitian double-standard
fashion, fail to apply to anyone else's but yours.

The opinion of credibilityless, mother-slllandering, own-words-denying
smegmanoggins such as yourself as to the credibility of others is, of
course, bereft of all value whatsoever.

Actually, where I do not post a link, I include the author of the piece, or
else it is not an essay, but a news story. And as has already been
remarked, one has only to google a phrase to access the original.
Everyone here knows that; you just refuse to acknowledge it, and
furthermore attempt to traffick in what you must believe to be the
gullibility and credulousness and amnesia of others in supposedly
forgetting this, even though it was someone else on the list who pointed
it out to you. You have lost all claim to both rationality and credibility,
and to intelligence besides.

I will say again what I have said before; you would have to inestimably
rise in mu regard to be worthy or deserving of my contempt. And the
negative opinion of a mother-slandering, own-words-denying moron is
devoutly to be treasured. I pity those who are like you, if, as you seem
to assert, such execrable creature do indeed exist.

It certainly won't be for a lack of your trying that you do not occupy such
a Papacy, but because of the palace revolt, involving many of the
Hierarchs, that ensued when you tried.

I realizre that, true to your totalitarian nature, you would prefer to censor
information so that nothing credible that disagrees with your sacrosanct
opinions is presented before the eyes of list members, but you won't get
your way there, either. And this is indeed a list in which the study of
real-world memetic conflicts, and the academic commentary emanating
from studys of them, should indeed be available to list members,
despite your bleating protestations to the contrary.

So now you equate yourself to the CoV? Megalomania, thy name is
Carlita. At least I may not have to suffer your gaseous rhetoric, bilous
fulminations and insufferable bloviations any longer.
