    Memo to everyone who feels a bit schitzoidal: Some of us are not good diagnosticians. Please be as blatant as possible. Mention your medications. Tell us your symptoms. DSM references are always helpful. Share your worst hospitalization experiences. were your parents a form of cruel and unusual punishment? Have you been cruelly jilted recently? Any really weird hallucinations? Is God talking to you a lot? All that sort of thing.Bitter Crank

    I am sorry. I can't do all this. I have a note form my doctor that exempts me.

    But I can do magic circles on the ground*, backward sommersaults and pronouncing three words at once.

    Yes. I only know his first name, which is Gerald.S

    I know a mouse
    He hasn't got a house
    I don't know
    Why I call him Gerald.
    He's getting rather old,
    But he's a good mouse.

    I got it already in the mail. It's a chain-letter bomb. You get one letter bomb, and you're supposed to send it to ten different people. If you don't, you'll grow a hand out of your back, her letter promised me.

    I can foresee already the posts about me after I get banned. "He was like God to me." "The most intelligent, charming person who has ever graced the pages of these forums." "I cherished every word he wrote. Pearls to swine." "His sense of humour was legendary, and his love for mankind and womankind was kindness embodimented." ETC.

    Whatever narcissism and a pathological need for recognition tastes like. I think it tastes like ham, personally. He tasted like ham. Some people taste like bitter herbs like S. Some people taste saccharine sweet like Together Turtle. Ilya tasted like ham.

    He’s more spicy than astringent. In fact, if memory serves, S is short for sriracha, a chili sauce that thinks it can burn but ends up being merely mildly amusing.

    I just asked this question over on The Shoutbox.

    Is that why the whole "Emphasizing the Connection Perspective" thread was deleted? It was a really interesting and valuable one for me.

    I would appreciate restoration of the thread. As usual, I try to have no position on bannings and, in most cases, I succeed.

    Just found this myself, wondering why I couldn't post to that thread. It had morphed into a discussion about consciousness (I know - it's a wonder no-one's thought to discuss the matter before!). Perhaps you could restore it under a different title and remove just the advertising?

    I thought we had. When @khaled admitted he was wrong, I thought we were done.

    Yes, @khaled, I’m joking.

    Hadn't thought about it. Best just to PM one of us first in a case like that. The main consideration is to preserve the site's integrity and that it not be used by anyone for promotional purposes. So, we'd judge in that context.

    TRC is not ABO (a bannable offence), and nor is AA (acronymic addiction), AFAIK. Incidentally the offending link remains in a quote.

    Again, the Clinton DNC is a front for the House of Islam: one required access to the "underground market" via Clinton, which is where you will find all of your human trafficking, pedophilia etc. and it leads back to the House of Islam.A Gnostic Agnostic
