Dear me, must you be illiterate as well as innumerate?  It's not Fascist to exclude you from a private gathering.

Besides, you haven't been excluded, yet.

No, Brad R, it is Fascist to be unjust. You have deleted posts by me from this forum which were perfectly allowed and appropriate.

You are on a raging power-trip, at least in regard to me.

I grant that the theoretical owner of this forum can put a gun to his/her head and pull the trigger. I grant the right to do so.

I am not arguing against that.

Rather, I am talking about basic right and wrong. I am saying that you are being a flaming sphincter against me. I am saying that you are taking measures against me because you do not like what I am saying.

And that's actually a tautology, because obviously it must have been something I said which caused you to be so against me. As we have only communicated via text.

I think what caused you to be so much against me is that I have repeatedly challenged you, and that was not something you could continence.

In short, I challenged your intellectual power, and so now you are showing me your physical power.

You could not win on intellectual grounds, but now you will flex your muscles on grounds of property-control.

How very and truly cheap of you. How so very pathetic of you.

I've changed your avatar, too.  It seems to be the most fitting Flame Warrior. :)

P.S. The word is "countenance," though with all your talk of sphincters I wonder if "continence" was a Freudian slip. :)

Apparently it seems important to you that I get the distinction between "continence" and "countenance" right. Indeed, you put a smiley face at the end. But why is that?

As as matter of fact, I do have very severe problems with my bladder, due to my stays in jail. I have an inherent inborn condition called paruresis. Whatever the reasons (and I actually do know the reasons behind this), I cannot urinate in front of others.

(To elaborate on the reasons I said that I know this: I have come to realize that I am very different from other people. I have over time realized that others do not see the things I see. It has been a very painful realization to me to come to terms with the fact that I actually cannot communicate with other people in the same sense that I can communicate with myself within my own head. And it is truly useless for me to even write this out, since I'm attempting to communicate with dumb animals. And note that I do realize that there are some rather high consciousnesses here like with Frank Tipler, Will Grigg, Terence Mckenna, and Murray Rothbard, but even they have not been stricken by the beatific vision quite so strongly as I have been.

(To further elaborate: I am aware of pretty much everything. I have noticed that the people around me go through life unconscious, or subconscious--whatever term one wishes to use. And it has freaked me out. I see how people do things unconsciously. Everything ranging from little activities, to whatever it is that they are doing.

(But to get back to the topic of paruresis: this is a reflex all humans have, in order to preserve themselves against attack, whether from other animals or other humans. But the more a human being cannot help but be aware of their surroundings, the more this reflex will take effect.)

... but now if he archives something to Wayback, or WebCite, or ArchiveToday, or others, it'll show up with that silly avatar and people will think he's not a serious and respected contributor to our community.

I noticed that he archived his short story to WebCite before I deleted it...or even responded to it in any way.  Which makes me think he expected it to be deleted.  Well, it's not the first time I've stopped someone from using this forum as his own personal publishing platform; he may have observed that.  And I suspect it's not the first time he's had his story deleted from an online forum. 

I feel sorry for the WebCite folks for the storage space he's consuming, but on the other hand, I doubt the infrequent views add up to much network bandwidth.
