Buyer Beware

Twisted fanatasy as usual....

Here is the reality as quoted from Wikipedia:

Use as metaphor

Rosetta Stone is also used as a metaphor to refer to anything that is a critical key to a process of decryption, translation, or a difficult problem, e.g., "the Rosetta stone of immunology", "thalamocortical rhythms, the Rosetta Stone of a subset of neurological disorders", "Arabidopsis, the Rosetta stone of flowering time".

Today, there is a popular foreign language instructional software package called The Rosetta Stone. Also, the ESA space probe Rosetta is named after it, because it is hoped the mission will help unlock the secrets of how our solar system looked before planets formed.

So by your logic all of these people ALL of these people stole your idea!

I proposed a simple truce and even conceded to remove the common metapohor you took issue with.Your offer is nothing more than you trying to tell me how to run my website. I wont give you that power.

There are many solutions available on the web, and they all cost money. For your information, not that I think I owe it to you, it would cost me more money to upgrade my current account to accomodate a message board. Since I am funding this out of my own pocket as a public service I choose not to spend money on it. Besides I dont feel I need it, and I dont give a damn what you think.

No truce will be tyed to you telling me how to run my website, period. If you choose to continue to attack me it is simply because you are a Troll.

Yes, and very effectively, I might add. Unfortunately the only person who doesn't smell the burn is he, himself.

I understand CGI costs more. I did it for years. I think I've seen links to offsite limited free message boards which is just thread management. I know I see them in free Blogs. If it were me I'd find a message board site and put a simple link on my website. They're distinct, not integrated unless I am missing something. I've never followed it through.

When you invest the time, money, and dedication to do your own website, feel free to do whatever you choose. Slim chance though as you do seem to prefer to force your babble down our throats though rather than being creative and contirbuting something worthwhile.

Regarding *my* site, once again, I dont give a damn what you think.

Your claim that a message board is expensive is another Prevaricator excuse. I didn't put it on the table initially if I figured you would weasel out by claiming additional costs. Everybody is doing it except you. It's a no brainer. My offer stands in perpetuity. I just want everyone to understand who is the Phony.

THANK YOU Michael for saying what I wanted to. Geeze....yeah no-one on this list ever thinks about sex in any but a morally rigid way, I believe that....got any bridges? I refuse to feel guilty because other people have hangups.

Hey, here's an idea. What if everyone simply this jerk? Kill-file him. No more Jim. It's easy and effective.

I did it months ago, and yet he still manages to infect my space via quoted messages posted by others.

One thing is clear - the guy is a Troll. He only wants to stir things up, and incidentally he is succeeding. We're playing right into his hands.

We've all seen what he's like, right down to his disgusting sexual proclivities. The guy is a loser. Nobody likes him, and it is not difficult to see why.

Plonk the space cadet, and be rid of him. It's the only solution.

BTW, that wasn't directed at you Mike. Just a generally frustrated person seeing "purity" and "morality" getting co-opted by certain...groups of people. My god...we drape our classical statues?? OK I'm done.

Melinda

No Problem Melinda, even if you were I would have deserved it. My comments were not meant as a judgement to anyone else. Most people keep that kind of stuff private, where it belongs, rather than posting it on a newsgroup like he did.

This guy is just such an a*%$* that he simply deserves anything he gets. You cant argue with him rationaly because he twists the truth so I hit him with his very own words which he couldnt deny.

Mike

Since when? That's stated in NEITHER the RFDT charter or FAQ. Your desire for it to be the rule doesn't make it such.

It just makes you a control freak.

But do you understand what your actions say about YOUR character?

No. Probably not.

Interesting, ebay just notified me that the auction was soon to end. When did the "seller" change his purchase price to reflect his previous shipping costs?

More like "heavens" -- it must have been pretty darn good. Anyone who got a peek before it vanished off the face of the googleverse care to let me in on the gossip? Offline is fine.

So, Melinda, I'm 18, muscular, with thick blond hair, and blue eyes. I hold a Ph.D. from Cambridge and did my post doctoral work at Oxford. I'm independently wealthy, but it would be immodest to suggest the value of my properties. And perhaps even MORE important, I'm drinking the last of my Imperial Keemun Hao Ya from Imperial Tea Court. (But, don't worry; I can acquire more.) Wanna hook up?

Melinda,

Pilo is definitely *not* invited to our first annual rfdt orgy. "Disgusting sexual proclivities," indeed.

Michael

The Seller changed the shipping terms and several other things on Tuesday after several rounds of email with me. In the course of the email exchange they admitted that they were attempting to defraud aBay with their shipping terms. They also admitted selling this item several times for less than half of the current asking price until they "found out what it was worth". Hehe they even threatened to report me to eBay for harrassing them, I asked them to please do so.

BTW it was also discovered on another group that they copied their description almost word for word from the late great "Tea Man's" website.

Mike

Oh god!

ITC Keemun Hao Ya.... . . . You're gonna make this tough for me aren't you Michael? Lol..;)
