Yes, another big fat 1. Oh, if they only had negative numbers here.

RE: Yes, another big fat 1. Oh, if they only had negative numbers here.

The Squeaky Wheel Gets Oiled Again (perhaps for the last time) [Re: July 2nd (Air Power) July 10th (What I Am) post comments].

[Rich Note: You're in luck, Myles. I feel like "rolling around in the mud" with you today might be worthwhile to others (though certainly not to "you" as "you" are incapable of listening with any degree of intellectual honesty). Besides, it affords a great opportunity to give "you" due “personal credit” for all the “automatic one” ratings (as childish and immature and vindictive as such behavior obviously is) and resultant “sub-nine averages” what has been shared has received in the last month or so.

Although this comment offers nothing more substantial than your typical "knee-jerk, egocentric, self-defensive response" to what is being offered -- which, of course, is not surprising for one who worships his own relative sense of being as absolute and is necessarily subject to the natural insecurity such an illogical position imposes – and since this is probably as civil as your present level of social immaturity allows you to be, I have chosen not to delete it per previously established standards of adult behavior*.

As your opinion seems to be in a distinct minority (a minority of one, in fact), I really do suggest you look in the mirror and identify what it is in you that has such a "mindless, prejudicial, personal antipathy " for what is being offered. In this regard, your total lack of objectivity and intellectual honesty has become almost laughable, as the instant I see a "sub-nine rating” I know Myles’ extremely “egocentric bowels have been moved” to leave yet another of his “unsubstantiated, emotionally driven, mindless” offerings and automatic “one ratings.”

And no, Myles, I am not sorry that Gather has not given you, in your infinite wisdom, a personal capacity to override everyone else’s opinion with vindictive and spiteful negative ratings that would thus allow you to bias the entire rating process (all by your “lonesome”) and so impose your “majority of one” opinion (as omniscient as seem to “think” it might be) on everyone else.

Furthermore, I have to assume from your comments that you are “doubtlessly certain” that you are naturally far superior and automatically more intelligent [even though you have consistently lacked the courage (intellectual and otherwise) to respond to numerous previous challenges to your groundless vitriolic brayings] than everyone else who is moved (by heart or head) to comment. Further along these lines, do you not see that your recurring assault on what is being shared is akin to calling everyone who has seen and verbally appreciated (for more than a year now) the Light innate in this message "stupid"?

[*Rich Note: For those who might be interested (and Lord knows why), Myles' failure to address anything more substantial than his own blind antipathy to what is being offered,” his consistently boorish, uncivil and childish behavior, and his complete disregard of a direct request that he "grow-up" elsewhere (MySpace perhaps), I have been forced to impose standards of personal responsibility that have resulted in a number of his comments being summarily deleted. This particular comment (which was used to make a point) got a “pass,” but the next will be held to the original standards of both substance and civility. And, knowing the fundamental insecurity of Myles’ intellectual posturing, as well as his innate lack of emotional self-control, I must say I look forward with great relish to deleting his next comment (unless he really fools me and simply goes away). (RE: See related “straws that broke the camel’s back” final comments on June 23 (“I and Not I”) and Jun 25 (“Double-Trouble”) postings for details and/or background details.)]

Great reply Richard, I know you love these challenges.

Another thought.  Are we truly alone and separate?  Are we eternally connected with other living beings?  Questions that can make you batty trying to figure them out if you do it for too long.

really nice, Stopping by from Comment Speedway

Nicely done, Richard.  Thanks for sharing.

great one.
