Some things do vanish into thin cyberspace. . .<BR/><BR/>:You saw it more when I first met Robin on beliefnet. When Robin talks about something else, he is actually articulate and cool. <BR/><BR/>I am actually articulate and cool when I talk about U*U injustices, abuses and hypocrisy to CC. I dare say that my UNSAFE SECT? picket sign slogan is a very articulate two-word zinger and some people think it's pretty cool too. That's just one small example. Plenty of non-U*Us think The Emerson Avenger blog is actually articulate and cool and I expect that some U*Us secretly think so too. . . <BR/><BR/>:He used to treat people pretty decently and talk about other things. <BR/><BR/>I still do CC, but it is quite unrealistic for you to expect me to treat hypocritical and abusive U*Us decently here when I have stated very clearly that I reserve the right to return abuse for abuse. Nor is it realistic for you to expect me to talk about other things here when this blog is explicitly devoted to dealing with U*U injustices, abuses and hypocrisy.<BR/><BR/>:A lot more people listened to him then. <BR/><BR/>A lot of people listen to me now CC. . .<BR/><BR/>:There was at least one lady who was calling him a prophet and various other thoughtful people admitted that there was probably a kernal of truth to what he had to say.<BR/><BR/>There's a lot more than just "a kernal of truth" to what I have to say here or elsewhere CC. In fact suggesting that there is only "a kernal of truth" to what I am saying about U*U injustices, abuses and hypocrisy is definitely *Minimizing*, if not Ignoring and Denying, some of the unethical practices of the U*Us aka DIM Thinking. . .<BR/> <BR/>:He reminds me a lot of my grandmother, who felt a doctor cheated her when she was 83 and spent the remaining ten years of her life plotting revenge and refusing to talk about any other subject. <BR/><BR/>But I am not "plotting revenge" CC, and I quite regularly talk about plenty of other subjects. It is however quite unrealistic for you to expect me to wax eloquent about other subjects on this blog that is dedicated to dealing with the subject of U*U injustices, abuses and hypocrisy. <BR/><BR/>:She didn't have any proof and refused our advice on how to sound rational when making complaints,<BR/><BR/>Well I do have plenty of proof of most of the U*U injustices, abuses and hypocrisy that I am exposing and denouncing here CC and most people will agree that I sound very rational when making complaints. Except of course when I am deliberately taking the piss out of foolish U*Us by giving the U*Us <A HREF="http://emersonavenger.blogspot.com/2005/12/press-release-couurageouus-pre-dauun.html" REL="nofollow">what they so desperately want</A>. . .<BR/><BR/>:so she never got anywhere and she died lonlier than she had to be because of her focus. <BR/><BR/>Well I have actually made new friends because of my focus on U*U injustices, abuses and hypocrisy CC. <BR/><BR/>:I remember going over to her house very depressed once. I told her this guy Mark and I had broken up and I was very sad because I'd really liked him and her response was "What do I care? A doctor cheated me three years ago!"<BR/><BR/>Obviously your grandmother was completely insensitive to your suffering and totally consumed by her own. Unless I get dementia or something that is unlikely to happen with me CC. <BR/><BR/>:When you get to the point that your obsession with your cause makes it hard for you to feel anything for anyone but yourself, then you are really letting the obsession ruin your life.<BR/><BR/>Indeed you are CC. Come to think of it CC, the U*U who so obsessively Deny, Ignore and Minimize the very real and very well documented U*U injustices, abuses and hypocrisy that I am protesting against are really letting their obsession ruin <A HREF="http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=The+tarnished+image+of+the+Unitarian+Church+of+Montreal.+.+.&btnG=Google+Search&meta=" REL="nofollow">the reputation of the Unitarian Church of Montreal</A>, that of the greater U*U "religious community" (or perhaps I should say the "tiny fringe religion" known as U*Uism) to say nothing of some aspects of <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfxw1yZAS0M" REL="nofollow">their personal lives</A>. . .Robin Edgarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208142626285495635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18473139.post-1161346166326712982006-10-20T08:09:00.000-04:002006-10-20T08:09:00.000-04:00(((That should have been clear from all the times ...(((That should have been clear from all the times I urged you to reveal some of your humanness.

I have no other reason to be your friend. That should have been clear from all the times I urged you to reveal some of your humanness. What I see of you online is mean, annoying, obsessed.

You have been trying very hard for a long time to influence people and affect your [non]position in the church. I don't need you or the UCM to like me. I might be a little upset if I lost all respect amongst UU bloggers, but...<BR/>I am not the one who got kicked out of his church for disruptive behavior. Another difference between us is that I am actually willing to have human relationships. I can accept that people don't like me, and that that doesn't make them evil. If I ever do offend the blogosphere, I can work through it. <BR/>You have deeply offended your church and the UU blogosphere, and you have no intention of repairing or even admitting that offense.

Please allow me to repeat what I said earlier. With "friends" like Indrax who needs enemies? <BR/><BR/>You would do well to pay heed to your parting shot Indrax. If you reject or go out of your way to sabatoge human relationships, you shall not have them yourself. . . I did not in fact reject my human relationship with you. I only rejected your increasingly dubious offer of "help". I can't help but notice that your alleged "friendship" with me was apparently contigent upon me continuing to accept your highly questionable "help". I had very good reason to "reject" your purported "help" in that it was increasingly apparent that your self-described "help" was actually doing more harm than good to my "cause". I did not reject a broader human relationship with you, only your increasingly unhelpful and even harmful "help". I take note of the fact that it is in fact you who have chosen to completely end your alleged "friendship" with me because I perfectly justifiably rejected a single element of that alleged "friendship". It is you who has sabatoged and ultimately rejected your human relationship with me, not the reverse. . .Robin Edgarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208142626285495635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18473139.post-1161266204363906572006-10-19T09:56:00.000-04:002006-10-19T09:56:00.000-04:00Such name calling ended with my friendship.
