I don't think to highly of you either Alanzo.

You sure don't, do you Patty?

You have to be one of the nastiest people I have ever met on the Internet.

My apologies for my behavior on this thread:

I have to say that ever since I was banned from ESMB, and I read some of the things people said about me while I was banned, it was so shocking to read these things being said about me that I guess I decided to have less patience and respect for those who expressed their impatience and disrespect for me while I was gone.

This decision has kinda headed me in the wrong direction.

There is no hope there, and or any possibility of a better life, for anyone, in that direction.

Scooter: I am sorry for calling you "stupid". When you tried to use your "tinfoil" label on me, I wanted to punish you for it. You're not stupid and I am sorry I called you that.

And Patty: you are one of the most intelligent and productive critics I have known. The data you provide on OSA is extremely valuable.

For any else reading this thread, I am sorry I made you wade through all my own nastiness and stupidity by calling other posters nasty and stupid.

Please forgive me.

Alanzo, are your apologies really sincere?

Given the whiplash I suffered reading your posts #141 and #142, one right after the other, I can't tell.

My apology is sincere.

I didn't want to edit my posts and erase my behavior. It was nasty and stupid of me to act that way to other sincere posters who are trying their best to present their views the best way they can, just like I am.

 

[TG1]

Thanks, Alanzo. Really nice apology.

Alanzo,

I have wanted to dive into this a dozen times, but couldn't without unproductively adding gas to the fire.

I have made a lot of mistakes on this board, I find this environment challenging. You have a real gift for it. I have long admired your cheerleading ability and wit. Not so much Alanzo V 1.5 the fighter.

Remember, sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me.

Kindly,

The water boy.

In the hugfest spirit of ESMB, I wish to go on the record about Patty by saying that I like her very much, even though we've never met. I think she has moxie and chutzpah and smarts and experience and courage and honesty. I like her straightforward writing style and her signature / tagline about that backbone thing.

Finally, I proudly confess a big weakness for the Aussies, each of whom gets an extra ten points in my book just because of their awesome Aussiness.

Certain things do make me grouchy.

You know, Shakespeare was a great writer.

But after ten years as a critic of Scientology on the Internet, that statement is bullshit.

Oh Alanzo

Oh Alanzo,

In the fuzzy warm wafting and drifting around this thread at the moment I would also like to say that your apology Aloanzo was quite well written and heart felt.

If I had a nickel for everytime I've ever had to apologize for my behaviour, well, I'd have 20¢. But that's besides the point. :wink2:

Regarding a warm place in people's hearts for Aussies, well I don't have one, for the simple reason that y'all scare the Hell outta me! :wink2:

 

[Feral]

I've just caught up with all this.

Wow, all I can say is, I love youse all.

Even the ones that don't love each other.

 

[Auditor's Toad]

I did not read the whole thread.

Was Mike Rinder given a 'fair go' ?

If so, did has he passed or not?



Cliff notes please.

 

[degraded being]

I'm just confused. :confused2:

Short version: Alanzo asked a few questions suggestive of something he imagined might have occurred.

He didn't get the answers he wanted.

He failed to answer questions put to him.

Nothing came of it.

Shorter version: The usual.

Wow. Funny how we can read the same thread and see something totally different.

I agree with "the usual" though.

We did get extras. "This is how much I hate you" posts which were
delightfully frank........
and then a disturbingly hasty swing to affirmation, admiration almost.
I need more coffee to keep up with the speed of these things.

 

[Panda Termint]

I know you like to defend Al, GT, but really... did you see something that different?

It probably was new news to some that Rinder is willing and able to communicate with Exes and Critics if he so chooses. The idea that there is something untoward about it is probably just something Al developed from "information" he was given by another/others.

Do you think he would have taken that tack if he'd ever chatted to Rinder himself?
