| | Greetings.
Mr. Rowlands: 1) I have returned to Mr. Firehammer everything I had taken away from him-- my initial reason for doing this was a personal insult that he had stated (which is no longer available to be seen), but our later intellectual exchanges were of such value that I chose to overlook this. Besides, 34 Atlas Points, compared to 179 (I have not given that many total non-sanctions) is quite a large difference. Mr. Firehammer, as a far as I see it, is alone worth than the entire crowd of snickering evaders here, which unfortunately includes Mr. Perigo and Mr. Rowlands. 2) I sanctioned Mr. Tingley's posts when I agreed with him or thought that he was making a worthwhile effort in discussion. For example, I considered him articulate and polite on the atheism thread, even though I did not necessarily agree with his thesis. We have since crossed paths many other times, all in a benevolent and valuable manner. 3) What is wrong with a discussion of art? Moreover, my policy was to offer Atlases to anyone who posted in the art gallery. I thought it would only be fair that, after having virtually built up the entire gallery's contents myself, I should have the benefit of enjoying and being informed about works that someone else posted. Or is self-interest now verboten here?
As for you, Mr. Perigo, you are not only a fanatic, but a dishonest and maleficent one-- I say this after having had mounds of experiential evidence. You warp the facts in order to condition within others whatever negative impressions of me you seek. You do not hesitate to utter insults against me at every possible opportunity, but when you agree with something I write or think that I did a good job (as with the Moore article), you limit yourself to sending me a private message. Why do you post publicly your smears against me, but never your praise? That is a clear indicator of your blind hatred and intense dishonesty.
In any case, there seem to be sanctioners here who have undone the damage caused by this incident. I was pleasantly surprised today when I saw that I had received an amount of sanctions equivalent to the 179 non-sanctions that were the subject of this post. I do not know what person or persons had done this, but justice still exists on this forum, even if the administration does its best to quell it. (Thank you, whoever you are, but, unless you want the credit for the action, I would suggest that you not allow yourself/selves to become a target of the non-sanctioner.)
Mr. Tingley, as always, thank you for your comments. I agree with you that this is not a life-threatening or an objectively harmful matter. The reason why I raise an issue of this is because I am offering positive values to this organization, which are numerically greater than those of any member of my hate club here. I should not be penalized, even in pure symbolism, for being good, intelligent, and productive. Every indicator, objective (my number of contributions) and subjective (my number of Atlas Points) shows that, in the mind of any rational man, I am deserving of the utmost respect. However, the administration and its goons (Mr. Howison and Mr. Bissell among them) chooses to ignore all this, because they are possessed by fear, fanaticism, and hatred of the good for being the good. There is nothing real with which they could legitimately take issue concerning me, and I would like to keep it that way by raising an issue of these deliberate character assassinations. I am sure, however, that the rest of the world will see the irrationality of my detractors, whom I find among the most despicable characters I had ever encountered. Even politically correct leftists at least have a veneer of civility behind their bigotry!
[They] were the representation of their ideal, a tribe of apathetics who deemed apathy a virtue, who flaunted their lack of self-esteem and observed a crusading resignation, a systematic campaign to inflict terror and misery, not by means of brutal repression, but by the tactic a horde of puny ants, with indignation roaming the limbs of the prodigious giant, irritating him to the point of the unbearable to provoke a hopeless collapse into their hill of muck that they would feast on his carcass.
