What a load of word parsing, hair splitting, goal post moving, ego inflating, self serving nonsense.

I have no intention of having an ad nauseam debate with you about this.

Here's the bottom line. When you "claim" you no longer (insert outrageous behavior here), it is a near certain bet it will continue unabated, albeit carefully disguised in order to engage in (im)plausible deniability. No more, no less.

One example - Rather than name an individual specifically, you will generalize;

- 'some people on SI'
- 'I know people who'
- 'I had problems with someone who'
- 'I adhere to a no to or about, but some people don't'
- etc., etc.

Then you identify your intended targets alleged behavior followed by sneering ridicule.

It matters not which behavior you "claim" you no longer engage in. The same modus operandi is applied.

Oh, I'm nonplussed by your cover of publicly "claiming" you no longer (insert BS here), then you make sure you carefully avoid that behavior, post puffery & sweet nothings for the next 24 - 48 hours. Then it's back to business as usual. How many times do you think that turd floats before it becomes obvious? You may fervently believe we are that dumb, but you'd be wrong again.

BTW, your "claims" of new found perfection & oneness with the universe may work on your groupthink minions. That doesn't work on rational, objective people who read your screeds.
