We aims to please.

Actually you aim to **** off folk.

Some.

And allot cheaper than dealing with the
obvious mental effects (and affects) of your own origins.

My origins? Nothing very remarkable there. Born of woman, in the
usual way........or, so I'm told. You?


You know precisely what I am referring to.

I do. On the other hand, you have no more idea what I'm saying in this
instance than you ever do. Some things don't change, huh Davie?

Your comments frequently suggest to me very much the thought
processes and history dismissive attitudes of the thankfully deceased
Paul De Mann. What things suggest to you is a source of endless
fascination to me.
I've missed out little chats lately. Have you been terribly busy?


Too busy to waste time on you.

And yet.........

But I have noticed that you seem to have a
real pain in the ass since your week at the Ramrod.


Whatever that might mean, one is almost forced to wonder how you would come
to that conclusion......what with being to busy to bother and all that.

De Mann, a prominent Belgium Nazi in his youth, managed to hide this
fact most of his life, while building a very successful career in U.S.
academe
in large part around a scholastic assertion of the impenetrability of
historical fact.

Interesting. Sounds like the kind of guy who would see Israelis
lurking under every rock.

You just love to over compensate

For what?

by parroting the most narrow-minded slogans
at the drop of a hat.

Slogan? Did I utter a slogan and not notice? Perhaps you could give me a
hint?

You are too ignorant to know that close to half of
Israeli adults share my views on the need to return most of the occupied
lands to the Palestinians, as does an increasing portion of non-muslim
Americans.

I'm not so ignorant as to believe anything you say without substantial
corroboration. Moreover, having grown up among rabid anti-semites, I know
the smell when I encounter it.

Well, I have a legitimate excuse........I'd never heard of ( DeMann)him
before
now. What a pity that YOU didn't tell him about his options.

Claspy's spelling is the correct one: de Man"

So? Did *I* misspell the man's name?

Wolfgang
who considers it quite normal for people to be uninterested in a nut
case's grandiose illusions of olympian descent.


What is "Olympian" about having a Spanish diplomat as an ancestor?

Did *I* mention a "Spanish diplomat"? Did I mention someone who may or may
not have had a "Spanish diplomat" for an ancestor? Do I look like someone
who gives **** who may or may not have had a "Spanish diplomat" for an
ancestor? Do I, for that matter, look like someone who might care what you
might have to say about someone who may or may not have had a "Spanish
diplomat" for an ancestor, or what you might have to say about what I might
or might not have to say about such an individual with or without a "Spanish
diplomat" for an ancestor?

He was
mainly trying to describe how he was able to penetrate a bureaucratic
mindset and touch a bit of personal history.

He? Who? dick? So? Is there a point to any of this?

Wolfgang
who, if he were going to try to convince a literate audience that the object
of his rage had inserted a parenthetical comment (say, for example, a
misspelled name) when he had actually done no such thing, would probably at
least remember to insert a space between the bogus insertion and the next
word.
