I would like to contribute to your thread, but my warning consisted of instructions not to talk about what I was warned not to talk about and it is quite hard to discuss something that one is not permitted to discuss. It is especially galling though when the entity (or rather, under the terms of my interdiction, nonentity) that I am not discussing continues to discuss me and to call me names.

It is bad enough to be called names by an existing being, but to be insulted by something the existence of which one is not allowed to recognize is even harder. Nonexistent insults are the very worst kind.

It's even worse than the situation in the famous nursery rhyme:

"As I was going up the stair
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
Oh how I wish he'd go away."

Oh my--I may have pushed things a little too far. Don't be surprised if I disappear myself.
